New developments
Since the last post there has been a few developments.
First of all, Nxtware licenses are not working, I asked for help but didn’t get an answer yet. Secondly, I had to configure the ILO module of the box – still in it’s original state, I know it was somewhere in the 10.0.0 or 10.1.1 ranges, but you need the 3-way connector to get it changed. A friend has one – as it turned outh the address was indeed in the 10.0.0 range (183) and we changed it. But the machine failed to boot after that – at least, EFI does find the controller but it takes a lot of time to recognize the disks; Starting VMS, the loader is read but as soon as VMS tries to mount the disk, it fails, and next keeps trying to restart the adapter. It means PKA0 is broken, so two of the three disks are inaccessible. The system boots from the other controller, so I may be able to use that – and access. Anyway, to be prepared for complete failure, I bought a third Itanium, similar to the other one (same supplier) but with just on e 143 Gb disk. Not a problem, because I have 2 73 Gb disks left …
This new system needs to be set up some day soon.
One of these servers will become a backup of the DS10 because I suspect the local disk to get bad. It holds the pagefiles and backups, so it is pretty important…
Maintenance
No problems.

Same network, same signature: Bogus account from grootersnet.nl, to the same gmail account. The address is owned by Hostwinds LLC – and these will one again be warned. Probably this is an address I need a daily logscanner for…
There is a problem with the blog performance and perhaps the datanase. I will restart all webservices..
