Before I start to much, I do already have a Garmin G3 GPS, and to compare does two is not a proper way and they have two different use cases. So for a week ago did I finally received my new GPS Mobitee with a PIQ Device. And as a tech geek didn't it take to many minutes before I installed and tried on my own garden and test the PIQ Driving Range function. But when I installed all clubs, then couldn't I really choose what clubs I have, as an example couldn't I register my 52 ° and 56 ° wedges. In by case do I called LW and SW. And my putter doesn't have any space on the top of the club, so I can't install that in the app yet, but that is not PIQ fault.           After a few shots did I really see some fun numbers and probably not the solution to a perfect swing but at least guide lines how my swing looks like. But after a week did I finally got time to go at least 9 holes to test my new toy and what should I say. I really like...

Very few time but it's happened that you need to move a filesystem from one Disk system to another Disk system in IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS). And here is a little how to how to move a filesystem from one disk to another. Basic overview ·         Create the new disks in Linux ·         Create a NSD on the new disks ·         Add the new NSD to the file system ·         Remove the old NSDs and let Spectrum Scale to migrate the data automatic. ·         Delete the NSDs ·         Delete the Disks in Linux So let's start with Scanning the SCSI bus for new Disks on all NSD Servers [root@server01~] echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan    Replace the X with the correct SCSI Host adapter. Create a NSD Stanza file...

For a wild now have I choose not to publish anything on this blog because of work. But because it comes up more and more stuff in the world that I think it is good to publish that is not work related, was I now thinking to start publish both work and private blogs. All my work blogs will be dublicated at Cristie.se  so you will probably find my blog there as well. Welcome back and I hope to get my next blog during the weekend about Golf equipments. Thanks Christian

I will only say Happy New Year and thanks for all visitor on my blog. Thanks Christian

Now will I leave my Storage / Backup approach for a single blog, and be an end-user and show what I missing in our CRM System. Even if I evaluate other CRM Systems I’ll still missing functions that give me information and not the other way around where I give the CRM System information and use it as a documentation system.  I have look at both large systems such SAP, OpenSource as SugerCRM and web based such Microsoft CRM. I think the best CRM I found that was nearest my ideas is Salesbox.com. I really hope does guys do a great success. But in today’s blog will I explain what I want to see in our CRM System and as we are using Microsoft CRM do I really hope Microsoft read my blog and value my feedback. Every event I listen to Microsoft do they say “We are listening to our customers”. Show me that you are listening to me. I’m a customer. But today when I insert data to our CRM System I only get a sort of “To Do List” that I should work with. But that is only informat...

Many of us are using a cloud storage solution such Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and so on. But are does solutions good enough for your business? Are your management unsecure if it is secure enough or want to keep better control because of legal reason or any reason. There is many solutions out there that can fit for your, and if you build the solution on an Object Storage base, you will then see even more possibility to secure your data both from a backup and restore perspective and also to use the better technology in the right place. During this week have I got time to play with Aspera and Spectrum Scale together and see how it works. And to summarizing my conclusion with only one sentence.  “Wow, LOL, it’s so much fun and great combinations I can do”. To just start with is to be able to send data much faster than regular TCP, in our lab do we got a 100Mbps Internet access and we normally get 2 MB/s when we upload to United States and I think because of ...

I was reading a little bit about Dockers and how Dockers works and why it is so popular. The most interesting is stories I found about Dockers, was how it sharing information between the containers and how one container almost could have almost 0 byte of information accept metadata. When you deploy that container it will automatic pull in data from all other containers where the actual data are located. Almost like BitTorrent but internally in the Dockers application. My thoughts did then direct start thinking of how that will impact the storage system. Will it generate a lot of IOPS? How should I scale my storage system if it does? Can I use cheap NL-SAS storage for this? Can I use Network Attach Storage, NAS? Can I use any Scale-Out solution? A lot of questions comes up and as more I read about Dockers, I can’t find any information about this from HP, EMC, IBM, Hitachi or any other storage vendor. No one explains how to solve this. Why? Is this not an issue? ...
