[CELS Sysadmins] GPFS Training Dec. 15-18
by David Ressman 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hello all, We're bringing in IBM for 4 days to burn off a few consulting dollars by teaching us all about GPFS. It'll be a decent mix of relatively basic stuff (but at a low level) and complicated troubleshooting. I remember e-mailing about this quite a while ago, and several MCS/CI people were interested. Who is still interested in going? _______________________________________________ This is the CELS Sysadmins mailing list.

[CELS Sysadmins] usb/firewire enclosure?
by David Ressman 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hi all, I have a 500GB laptop (i.e. 2.5" SATA) drive that I'd like to make into an external time machine drive for my laptop, so I'm looking for an external enclosure I can stick the drive into. I'd prefer Firewire 800, but USB 2.0 is fine. I see a few enclosures on newegg, but it's hard to see if any of them are any good. Have any of you used any you particularly like or dislike?

The big white room where all the machines go, formerly known as the SSF, aka the Core, aska the Computorium, is room number 2209.
