HP DL380 G2, Ubuntu and loud fans
Installing Ubuntu on my DL380 G2 was pretty straight-forward but I did have a problem with the fans running at full speed. That high pitched squeal could be heard from our bedroom upstairs at the other end of the house. I had some real trouble finding a solution for this. It was clear that I needed the HPASM management tools but HP’s sight only shows RedHat and Suse installs. I finally came across this: http://jaxbeachtech.com/node/80
There are links there to some drivers that I think HP considers “beta”. You have to sign up to download them which is pretty silly. Oh well, it worked after I also had to manually download and install this lib from the Debian site.
All’s quiet now. Yes! Now on to installing ZoneMinder.
Cisco AnyConnect Essentials
I recently discovered this new Cisco AnyConnect Essentials license being touted for the 8.2 code for ASAs. It took me a little while to parse through the cryptic description on Cisco’s site but it seems that you can now get client based SSL for a couple hundres $$’s depending on the ASA model. That’s up to the platform supported max!
If you want the web portal “clientless” SSL VPN you have to pay the previous crazy pricing for the “Premium” license. For most people this won’t matter and what it means is essentially a cheap SSL client solution now. Woohoo!
This guy seemed to confirm my thoughts.
Dude stole my theme too! 🙂
