What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Got breakfast at the hotel here in Ft. Worth and getting some work done before we head to Austin this morning.
-
Just caught up on my morning email after getting to the airport and through security.
Was the fastest I have ever done that in O'Hare. Less than 15 minutes.
I got out of the car, kissed the wife and kids at 7:03. I had my bag tagged and checked in then to the security line by 7:08.
The TSA line had some new policies because the plastic bins are gone. All items HAVE to be in your bags to go through the scanner. Shoes stayed on, and then a walk through a standard metal detector. Not the wave scanner thing (which was right there too).
I was in line at Starbucks by 7:15.

Holy cow - sensibility is back!
Did you have to take your belt off?
And you're not talking about the Pre Check line, right?

I had that in Atlanta, was SO fast!

Dealing with a massive Azure outage. As I predicted, Microsoft's internal processes are not stable enough to handle Azure. We have a full outage in every region, every server with them is down, because someone inside screwed up and turned them off and took away our ability to turn them on again. I've never heard of any cloud provider having a problem like this. This is completely insane. And just weeks after they screwed up my email with dataloss too. I'm losing faith in Microsoft's ability to be a business class company very quickly.
SO glad ML is on Rackspace.
-
Major support issues with Microsoft. They don't have English speaking support or anyone who knows what Azure is. So they can't even transfer to the right department. They literally are not offering Azure support at all right now.

@scottalanmiller *me looks outside. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!... ?

MS has never been known for good support. They sell products and run away and hide mostly. This seems to be exactly the case with Azure. Zero support offered, even when the screw ups are on their end!
-
I've worked a few times with their O365 support staff... they really seem to be on the ball. It is suprising that they are having these problems with Azure... I guess that's what they get for trying to use Linux in their Windows environment, lol.

We have their O365 staff on the phone, we can reach THEM.
-
@scottalanmiller All of the Azure staff are probably huddled in a dark corner somewhere wailling and gnashing teeth.... Or they're all taking turns beating the crap out of the guy that broke the internet.

Still down, no progress.

TL;DR.... http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1196172-storage-for-hyper-v-synology-nas
"I can't find a drive that exactly matches what I bought long ago, and I'm confused about drives having to match so rather than solve a super simple issue with replacing a failed drive, I am going to re-architect my entire infrastructure in an insane way to not change anything having to do with the original issue."

There is no link to his other thread where he's looking for a drive.
Assuming he's on drives that no longer manufactures - what's wrong with him just picking the next lowest size that's the same architecture? This is the right play in this case, right?
-
He's using some rare Seagate 500GB 2.5" SATA drives. People found him lots of options from other Seagate models that nearly match to bigger ones that are better, etc. He's confused and things that they HAVE to match, even though he clearly knows that they don't. He also tried putting in really big 4K drives that didn't work due to the age of the machine and is using that problem as a basis for a lot of his decisions.
-
hmm... I have 4 servers in my DC all with 2.5" drives - It's not the form factor that's an issue here, right?
He just needs to find drives that are compatible with the RAID controller he has. Seems like a no brainer to me.. but what do I know?

Pretty sure user error is the issue

Yup, that seems to be the only problem.

I went from using Windows 10 at my old job to using Windows 7 at my new job. I can honestly say that I miss the Windows 10 interface.

in my hotel room getting some work done.
