PresSTORE has a Synchronize module, that can be used to copy data from one location to another. This is done by the use of synchronization plans, or sync plans for short.

Setting up CHAP on LeftHand w/ CLI
LeftHand Storage uses the cliq command line for configuring their devices. cliq isn’t necessarily interactive and so we end up needing to specify the username, password and IP of the device with each command (although you can setup a key as well if you’re going to be doing automated tasks).

Resetting a WordPress Password
Sometimes you can bite yourself a little when you experiment around with things. I installed a security plug-in and the next thing you know I couldn’t log into my own website. Ouch. Not a huge deal as it actually led to experimentation with the MySQL tables for WordPress, which oddly enough, I’ve typically just left [...]

Goodbye OpenSolaris/OpenStorage, Hello OpenFiler/OpenDedup
I’ve read a number of reports over the past couple of days that indicate the demise of Project Wonderland and Open Solaris.

Days of our Oracle: Sun
McNealy no longer has an executives page on Oracle.com. He also sent To be honest, this is not a note this founder wants to write. Sun, in my mind, should have been the great and surviving consolidator. But I love the market economy and capitalism more than I love my company. In other words, for [...]

Using the cut Command
A number of commands available for finding positions that you want in a line and extracting only a certain amount of text can be pretty cumbersome in terms of learning curve. This isn’t to say that once you get the hang of them that they’re terribly complicated but it can take a little while to [...]
