  • Simplify Advanced Shell Scripting With Ruby | AIX | IBM Systems Magazine | System p, System p5, Power System | Ruby, SSH, shell scripting, Bull Freeware, sysadmin, – IBM Systems Magazine – Ruby is just for experienced programmers. right? False! Originating in the mid-1990s, Ruby is a fantastic language, made popular recently by the Web application framework—Ruby on Rails. It’s a massively flexible and easy language to learn. You can find Ruby for AIX in the AIX Toolbox at the Bull Freeware. The script we’ll be creating will do the following:

     

    * Go through a large list of servers.
    * SSH them and determine whether the server is AIX.
    * If so, it will go through all disks, returning their type.
    * It will do all of this completely in parallel in batch at 25 sub-processes at a time.

  • Recovering a lost partition table with a VMFS volume | vInfrastructure Blog – Vi possono essere diversi motivi che portano alla perdita della tabella delle partizioni o alla sua corruzione. Nel caso di datastore VMFS le possibili cause sono: resignature da un altro sistema (ad esempio il backup server, nel caso funzioni in SAN mode), un errore umano (basta eseguire, su dischi condivisi, da vSphere Client un Datastore / Delete da un ESXi non ancora collegato al vCenter Server), o anche a causa di qualche problema lato storage (mi è capitato proprio questo caso di recente su uno storage entry level)[...]

    (Mi è capitato, ho seguito la kb di vmware e ne sono uscito. Comunque sto sudando ancora adesso…)

  • MaxClients, MaxKeepAliveRequests e KeepAliveTimeout: ottimizzazione di Apache HTTP Server | Panix websiting – Oggi sappiamo quanto sia importante la velocità di caricamento della pagina sia in termini di usabilità ed user experience, sia in termini SEO, in quanto i motori di ricerca hanno inserito la velocità di caricamento delle pagine nei loro algoritmi di ranking.

    Di recente ho avuto modo di lavorare sull'ottimizzazione di un server web, ed è interessante notare come sia possibile ottenere ottimi risultati intervenendo su tre semplici parametri di configurazione del web server Apache:

    MaxClients
    MaxKeepAliveRequests
    KeepAliveTimeout
    parametri la cui importanza è spesso sottovalutata e che non sempre garantiscono le migliori prestazioni alle loro impostazioni di default.
