When you delete services from Riverbed Cascade they’ll sit in the list when running reports and so forth - which can be seriously painful over time. There’s a way to clear it out though!
ssh to the profiler as the “mazu” user
The following command will show you all deleted service policies: policycleaner –get-policies
To clean the DB of these policies policycleaner –purge-policies
[Read More]So, it has been twenty four hours since I started using an iPhone as my primary phone. I have used them before to help friends, and have seen many many articles about them in the press, but haven’t actually strayed from the way of the droid.
I set myself the challenge to use an iPhone for a month so that I could genuinely understand the obsession (or justify my dislike) for the IOS platform in general. I have become increasingly unhappy with the android ecosystem, from the poor performance of the original Samsung galaxy s, to the issues on launch from the HTC one X. That doesn’t take into account the constant camera issues with the latter and … Other stuff.
[Read More]Linux udev is great but if you forget about it, it’s a pain. When you replace a motherboard/network card in a machine, you just expect the primary network device to be eth0 again, but with udev it’s not going to do it.
Ubuntu uses a file at this location to store the udev rules for network cards:
example of what’s in there:
Remove all the rules in the file, reboot and it should sort you out… there’s more complex ways of dealing with it, but I like hitting things with hammers. 🙂
[Read More]Unfortunately for us, our wireshark appliance is so inundated with traffic it can’t capture all the packets, but we’ve got enough here to brute force the password pretty quickly…
When you get one of the following errors on boot for a DC series computer (including DC7800, DC7900, DC8100, DC8200
Their suggested fix is the following:
That seemed a bit stupid, replace the motherboard? Surely there’s another way. Rebooting it doesn’t normally fix much, but there’s a few things I read that seem to fix it.
[Read More]My PRIMARY method for adding a vehicle to my “to buy” list is based on whether I can sit upright with good posture and still see out of the windscreen. I don’t care if I have to slide the seat all the way back and down, if I can sit upright and see, it’s on my list. If the only vehicle I could buy on the market cost $50k and was bright pink - I’d have a good look around the second hand market, then buy that pink money pit.
[Read More]I knew I had to chronicle my week of Cisco somehow, and this is probably the best way to do it 🙂
So, someone posted about their ADSL speed on Facebook, then asked me about how they can make things better. Meanwhile I got in a bit of an argument with a guy who runs one of those back yard computer shops because he said wireless would make a ~5mbit ADSL connection slower, and copied and pasted generic garbage from Bigpond’s help pages to back his point up. Ugh.
[Read More]I’m running through our deployment of Riverbed Cascade at the moment and was checking traffic to an external host, noticed that it had gotten a hit from researchscan010.eecs.umich.edu on port 80. I figured it couldn’t hurt to see if it was responding (having research in the name) and it did!
Cute 🙂
I got authorized on the weekend, having some test bouts against Niall and Liadan, the crown prince and princess (and my good friends). It was an honour to fight them, and get clubbed like a baby harp seal. 🙂
Now I just have to learn to let the armour take the hit instead of my flesh 🙂
