    I use Pantheon for all of my site building and I have two sites hosted there. It's a great service.

    ozone or new electronics getting warm?

    Any hot spots on it?

    Don't forget it'll be going like stink right now charging up that battery

    Nothing warmer than expected.

    The battery is listed as 77% full.

    I think you're fine unless it's really horrendous - probably just all the components warming up for the first time. Those things really suck down some current when charging the battery and running the PC.

    This, I did this in an enclosed small room and the smell of ozone was overpowering when first bringing up fresh out-of-the-box UPSs (Eatons) not sure if it is normal or not but there were no long term effects. Other then having to leave the door open for a few days.

    Damn a few days? ug! I rarely leave my door open...

    After the first day it was still barely noticeable by no means strong or overpowering. By the third day it was gone.

    My door is the control door to our data closet. I rarely leave it open, even when I'm inside. So I suppose I've trapped the smell in here with me.

    I'll leave the door open while I'm here today and we'll see what happens.

    and damnit.. now I have to go fishing for the box..

    I guess that makes it an Undead cat... Better go bury it in Pet Cemetary again.

    Actually we have a static html site which is shared with clients just to give them a feel of the site before we move to production. And its enabled with directory browsing and you know how it looks. Just to have a decent look, we were checking on options and found Apaxy, its super easy and nothing to install, just download, extract files, make changes on htaccess file mentioning the path and thats it. Looks way better than the traditional listing.

    I'd start by replacing that 😉

    BUT I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!!

    You don't have to... but that is going to be a limiting factor in a number of ways. Especially when you are looking at management or want to expand your infrastructure.

    Or performance, ease of use....

    Scott is right, even though I've experienced this issue, and I (the IT Person) need to have solutions to help find things, this doesn't mean we need to complicate the entire environment because of the minority.

    Deities know - I hate kowtowing to the minority. Have a plan for them when possible, but don't make massive sweeping changing because of them if possible.

    In the current world, you can give "normal" users application access and just instruct the minority to search through file shares / Sharepoint.

    For anyone else who might need to know how to do this on Fedora 22.

    First, take a backup of your VM, it never hurts. And now I've warned you. 😛

    Install the Fedora CD into your VM Disk drive, boot from CD.

    Select Troubleshooting Rescue a Fedora System

    At the console confirm your filesystem path. Mine is at /dev/mapper/fedora-root

    Changing 10G to whatever file size you need. To decrease use a -#G.

    lvm lvresize --verbose --resizefs -L 10G /dev/mapper/vgname-lvname

    Let it complete, should only take a bit.

    reboot

    There you have it, your Fedora Root Partition should now be expanded to whatever size you need.

    And they likely redeploy stuff, so they might deploy gear that has already been paid for.

    Just putting it out there for the sake of it.

    You can run the User State Migration Tool...

    NOTE:

    When I drill into the ISCSI LUN on Xen Server

    I select the DISK and click "MOVE"

    "Upgrade XenServer to enable VDI Live migration. This feature enables you to migrate multiple running VDI's on shared storage between SR's"

    I will try again when I power down this virtual machine and see if it gives me a disk move options. That way could move the entire disk to a different storage repository (NFS Share this time). Then from there, expand that disk size.

    But in the past. When I expand the disk seize of the volume attached. Windows does not see it as a larger disk... Windows see's the additional storage space as a seperate drive. I've had to merge these drives together.

    So do you have the ability to backup this virtual hard disk at the hypervisor level? Then restore it to the NFS volume. Schedule some down time and detach the one connected to the iSCSI storage and attached the NFS one. That should maintain the drive letter and all the configs...

    My wife bought me something similar as a birthday gift, but I've never tried it. For whatever reason I'm only buying beer in bottles, so it won't fit.

    Hang a couple of those off the server. Maybe we'll get close to that 495W!

    Hell yes, what good is a single beer
