NTG Lab Physical Setup
-
Okay. This is really for @Mike-Ralston for working on cabling up the new NTG labs. Wanted to do it here as there is nothing proprietary in the labs. Visibility will make it more valuable for everyone.
-
First thing that we need is the DRAC interfaces on the Dell servers to be cables up and configured with IP addresses.
-
We need a Windows box on that network that can talk to the Drobo B800i so that we can configure it.
-
Once the DRAC, Drobo and Windows box are set up we are ready to rock. Everything will be remotely manageable after that.
-
Can the windows box be on 8.1 Pro? And what about the Linux Mint machine that WAS the Remote Lab access?

8.1 is fine. Any box that can run it will do. Will need LMI on it.
-
This will be interesting to watch.
-
Hmm, okay.
-
Getting a Windows 8.1 pro key, will have it tomorrow hopefully.

Should only take a few minutes. You just have to look it up in the key listing.
-
Nope, going to be getting a hard copy.
-
@Mike-Ralston can't get ISO burning to work?
-
We need another liscence or something, the decision wasn't up to me.

Really? Did you call Microsoft? If we just bought a new copy, they need to make it work.
-
Yes I did but... They have to figure it out, grrr. I should have some information today.
