Fun Stuff to Play With
I thought I’d post a few photos of the lab gear allocated to my projects. I have the 2 racks right next to the chair. There is a 2 node cluster of heavily loaded HP DL585s, an 8 node cluster of HP DL145s, a 2 node cluster of HP DL385s, a 2 node cluster of IBM xSeries x366 , some Chaparall SAN, Imperial Solid State Disk, MSA 1500, DS4×00, and other goodies (e.g., FC and Ethernet switches, etc) … all running Oracle on Redhat and SuSE Linux.
And the DL585s are cabled to some LUNs in the Data Direct Network cab:
And, when I schedule it, I am granted LUNs from the following storage arrays:
That is about 10% of the lab gear here… lots of AC.
Not pictured is the Texas Memory System I have on loan from the nice guys at TMS.
Excuse me while I drool.
I can’t help it
Any reason for not using Solaris for x86? I had to ask
Since Solaris is a real operating system, I’d love to. Our products, on the other hand, are not ported to Solaris. The fact that 9i was never ported to Solaris x86 was a real dirty trick to hype up Linux adoption… It didn’t work.
/me weeps, though not in sadness, but as a joyful man who finally finds that which he has sought his entire life
*coughs*
Man, that is some excellent hardware. I bet it looks great in the dark too (blink blink).
that is about 10% of the lab…that’s just what I get to play with…our scalable file serving guys get the good stuff
