Specifically...at the moment...the rooms are too hot. I was wondering if anyone knows of anything that one can use to monitor the temperature and humidity of a room, or more specifically the datacomm cabinet. (Some 'black box' that uses SNMP?) The only STANDALONE equipment that can monitor temperature and humidity (that I know of) is APC's Environmental Monitoring unit (AP9312TH). The only NON-stand alone temperature monitoring that I'm currently aware of, is APC's PowerChute software that monitors the UPS temperature. But it does NOT monitor the AMBIENT temperature, nor humidity. And it's the ambient temperature in the cabinet I'm wanting to monitor.

RE: installing NT
Hi! We are GMT+2 so I am only now reading your conversation! You don't need any fdisk. a blank disk is best place to start. Boot from CD (or 3 stiffies) and it will self detect that nothing is set up. It will then ask you to define partitions and when you play along, it will give you the option to use the whole disk as the partition BUT (I think this has changed but my server CD build 1381 I think) will allow a maximum of 2GB as the first partition else you get that message you mentioned. You can increase this partition later using Partition Magic or the like - there might be other suggestions but I set up our drives as c=2 or 1.5(OS), f=±50%of remainder for APPS and R:=the rest for Data unless the installation requires different. Then remember to do the sup pack (6a) before trying to do fancy NIC's and Video drivers.

RE: Geo-Cluster and Double Take
Hi Ken, We are using DoubleTake with SQL7 and seems to work OK (SinceJan 2000) Have not had any disasters as yet but do a regular simulation to see if all is still well (despite strict version control). Best way to casually check is to look at the replicated Sql files's dates and times and they are always spot on to the system clock meaning that they are updating the replica even before the the source writes to disk.(Those files stay at their old dates of course) GeoCluster is an attempt to make MSCS less of a farce but I might be wrong, but I think Sunbelt stopped supporting it due too much problems at one time. Don't think anything can help Exchange and FTP should be no issue. ;-) Erich -Original Message-From: mail.kenmcphail.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 9:19 PMTo: NT System Admin IssuesSubject: Geo-Cluster and Double Take Anyone using or have comments about Geo-cluster and double take.

RE: Defrag: is it necessary for NTFS?
but when the drives get full, the whole systems bogs down and then to defrag can take forever and no one of the defrag tools do a good job when you have reached this point. So my humble opinion is to do it and do it frequently using Diskkeeper FragGaurd on all the time while there is lots of space to operate in.

Regular defragmentation allows the drive and the OS to make better use of caching for file reads, among other things. OK, thank you. This would be true for very old types of HDDs/controllers/linear_geometry and FS. Then NTFS wouldn't be a journalling FS in the modern sense, prolly a top level layer. In any event all I need to know: does it need defragmentation really or just to boost economy? I really doubt. __ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
