Here's a round-out for the projects I've worked on the last week or so – I'll probably have to blog about a few of these
1) Solarwinds Orion NPM 9.1
- Updated to v9.1 Service Pack 4
- Rebuilt our list of "core" devices to monitor – firewalls, routing switches, primary connectivity interface to each of our campuses
- Prepped and whiteboarded the next few things to add – some core servers
2) Terminal Server 2008
- Deployed from template – Server 2008 Enterprise x64
- Added Terminal Server role
- Added Terminal Server gateway role (plus IIS goodies)
- Licensed same
- Installed SSL cert on same (from internal CA)
- Installed a bunch of useful "core" apps primarily for our Mac-heads who lost IE but need ActiveX-based web tools to do business
- Tested TS (base)
- Tested TS Gateway (flawless)
3) Cisco 6509 Install
- We were given (donated / free) a Cisco 6509 a while back. Just this past week I finalized the baseline install, and now need to get it ready for deploy.
- Installed 2x 64meg ATA Cards for IOS boot
- Installed 12.2 train IOS
- tested 2x Sup2u+MSFC2, 2x 48-port gigabit non-poe, 1x 48-port gigabit poe, 1x 8-port GBIC, 3x 48-port 10/100 poe blades – all flawless
- Prep for HSRP configuration with Cisco 4507 – the 6509 stays at Central Datacenter, the 4507 goes to our DR Datacenter – both connected via Gigabit MetroE (turn up scheduled for late March)
4) DR Storage
- More details soon – 108TB SATA/SAS iSCSI storage for replicating our XSAN data + EMC Core ESX VI3.5 data
That's enough… more odds and ends along the way of course…
