please insert slowly…

Posted on October 19, 2011 by otmanix

reading Datadomain OS release notes made my day:

When performing a DD OS upgrade using a USB key, make sure the USB key is inserted slowly into the Data Domain system’s USB socket. Two criteria can help you to judge how “slowly” to insert the key:
The LED on the USB key starts blinking after you’ve inserted the USB to the very end or, for a USB key with no LED display, make sure it takes more than one second to fully insert the USB key.

I assume this will be the next step:

Please fondle the hardware while doing the upgrade…

radio silence

Posted on October 18, 2011 by otmanix

Hello out there!

You may have noticed that the frequency of new blog articles has decreased a lot. At the moment I need a break from blogosphere. On the one hand I want to spend my free time for doing other things like reading tons of books on my Amazon kindle. At the moment I’m reading “the last ring-bearer“. Tolkien fans with humour will enjoy this journey to middle earth where everything is different, the good guys are the bad ones and vice versa… On the other hand I don’t have a topic to blog about. I haven’t installed/used PS3 Media Server for months so I don’t see any reason in writing articles about that or doing support. Sorry folks, please visit the PMS forum for help.

If there is a new topic worth blogging you will find new articles here.

So have a good time. Bye, Otmanix

Networker user group meeting revisited

Posted on June 3, 2011 by otmanix

What happened last tuesday? EMC invited to second Networker user group meeting in Germany which this time was located at Steigenberger airport hotel in Frankfurt.

EMC sent the Networker product manager as well as developers (see photo), support guys and trainer in order to show the roadmap and answer customer questions.

This event was really worth visiting it. Thanks to EMC for sending people with deep knowledge which were able to answer questions as well as discussing rfe and talking about the roadmap.
