xsf421 posted:This is the active node in a DB cluster no less! If it's clustered with proper HA why would you experience downtime in a proper maintenance procedure? If no downtime is acceptable, the system should tolerate a node reboot. If fault tolerance isn't part of the design, downtime must be acceptable.

Is anybody experiencing issues where Windows machines suddenly aren't pulling IP addresses via DHCP? It's happened to 3-4 computers over the last week and I'm not sure if it's an update that donked up the user's computers or our DHCP servers or what.

We haven't gotten any packet capturing done yet (it only just became a "pattern" enough for me to really look into it) but they're hanging at "Identifying..." so Windows at least seems to be trying to request an address.

ChubbyThePhat posted:Are the machines actively requesting an address, or just pretending DHCP isn't even enabled? That would be the first place I’d look. Are the machines sending out a DHCP request? Is anything responding? Keep following that request through the network until you find where it dies.

Y'all, I had to disable avatars so I can continue posting at work and not worry about somebody seeing the disgusting poo poo you put on my screen. I am SHOCKED at how many of you I can remember by name alone. It's nearly everybody in these threads. Maybe posting in sc/sh for 4 years is too much.

Instead of disabling avatars, I use Decreased Productivity. It ghosts all images/videos so you can mouseover to see them, but leaves them as greyed-out versions by default. You can still see the outline of an avatar, but it's pretty much invisible to someone behind you or walking by.

I started with the classic Apple ][e. The monitor even had colors! Mostly used for Oregon Trail and Number/Word Munchers, to be honest. And to print out cool banners on the dot-matrix printer.

TRS-80 in middle school, and then moved up to the Tandy 1000 in high school. They were old then; I mean we also had one each of 286 and 386, and then my junior year we got some 486s.

We had apple ]['s at school, but our first home computer was a hand-me-down Tandy from my uncle. The monitor had a whopping four colors and the whole setup was older than I was.

I started out with a Kaypro PC (8088, woo!) at home and Apple ]['s at school. The first computer I bought for myself was a Dell with a Pentium 3. I actually used the 21" Trinitron I got with it as my primary monitor for nearly a decade. The only reason I stopped was that it, being a Trinitron, weighed as much as a neutron star and was a pain in the rear end to move.

TRS 80 Model 3, then Atari 8/16 bit till the early 90s. Nostalgia for the good old days dies fast when you remember what 300 baud modems were like.

the first computer that was ever *MY* computer was a TI 99/4A. the first computer I ever played with was at my grandfathers house, and I dunno what it was just that it had paddles for games and you had to load programs from a tape deck.

nexxai posted:We've had about 10 different machines here have that issue. Ok we tried this to no avail, but we also then isolated the issue to the switch (in this office, at least. There are a couple of people who had the issue in AZ and I can't test wires there.) We shut/no shut the port, no all of the settings, nothing. Finally we go back and test the patch cable, three wires are crossed over. This cable is over a year old, we made it ourselves, and tested at the time of "manufacture." It's also worked fine for a month. How in the gently caress. I'm going to call Mulder and Scully.

One thing I learned years ago is when you hit a dead end with troubleshooting an issue, start at the bottom of the osi model and work up. I can't count the number of times weird issues have been a loose or bad cable or a locked up switch.

Yeah, we probably should have checked the cable earlier but it's been in use for weeks without issue. Also if it was just broken I would understand but I don't get how three wires in a cable suddenly rearrange themselves.

If your switch's eth port supports mdi-x, maybe it went haywire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-dependent_interface
