so honestly the last thing i want to do is be here
in the office on a saturday agreed i mean Jake and nah Jake and Anthony
they're stoked oh yeah they're super thrilled yeah they love it but me
i wish i didn't have to be in here on a saturday but the problem is we have a
whack ton of stuff to do to fix our server room and our network
and the only time you can really do this sort of stuff
is when people aren't using it which means you have to come in on the weekend
so we need to change a bunch of our
we've gotta we've got a lot to do oh man oh i even
found out something else we get to do you guys telus came in for the site survey and we
get to redo all of this networking so
that they can get access to this to slide it out oh
you're joking right no no i'm not that was bad design it's the comb over
the best idea with glasswire you can instantly see
your current and past network activity detect malware and block badly behaving
apps on your pc or Android device use offer code Linus to get 25 off glasswire
at the link below i think step number one is to do what is
quite literally one of the scariest things that i do around here oh turn the
servers off turn the servers off oh this is going well already
oh oh boy so this is our new router it handles 10
gig it'll be running pf sense which means that we'll have much lower level
access to uh handling all of our networking tasks so uh if something goes
wrong we don't have to be like well okay is it a firmware issue we can go in and
be like yeah it's a configuration issue we can just edit this file and off we go
the reason we need it though is we're getting faster internet so it's five gig
to the broader internet but it's 10 gig to anything at the vancouver internet
exchange oh so that's like basically anything that matters so aws google so
our google backup is going to be super fast now oh yeah okay bring that down get this thing
fired up oh it's not even that heavy i carried this
thing up it's awkward and it's digging into my knee it's not even that awkward
okay there hold on i just had to lift it up a little bit now it's digging into my thigh muscle oh tasty i have been trying
to figure out for far longer than
would not be embarrassing a good way to hold this stupid
cabinet door open while i'm sliding servers in and out of it optane i mean
i'm sure if we wedged an obtain module in there it'd be perfectly fine so the
problem is that it kind of doesn't open all the
way easily so when you're trying to slide stuff out it like gets caught here
and here so here's my idea i'm gonna open it up
as much as i can then i'm gonna drill a hole in the side
of this keyboard tray
it's going the wrong way dang it
then i'm going to take the allen key that i
always have to have here anyway so that i can pull servers out and i'm going to jam it
right in there yes oh crap well now this can't lift up
and that's also in the way here's the thing johnny who originally
set up all of our vlans and all of our routing and all of that stuff has sort
of retired from the it consultancy business
so we're gonna be trying to piece together everything that he did on our
ubiquity gear and then reassemble it on our pf sense
box from supermicro here in theory this is just going to be
a simple one to one instant swap rooney it's not going to be
wow thanks Jake what a downer you still can't find it no it's like i looked
everywhere over there in the workshop too
i looked i looked through the workshop did you call alex
man the hangouts ring is like it feels pretentious hey sorry to bug
you um these the like blaster nozzle
from the compressor is missing oh he's calling where would we find that
oh i think so yes the air fittings tray
is completely empty there was two things in there i took them already oh okay no
there were two things in here that would not help us somebody put it in a dumb
spot so this is the router right here what it
took me literally less than 10 seconds to find it it was sitting okay it was
sitting on the chair that you refused to pick the things up off of last weekend i
took the doofus train going anywhere
going to the server room what server do you want first Jake
i literally don't care i'm gonna label
things better than i go put this out oh is it rainy oh actually 101 would be
good but it's kind of far away it's already dusty is all heck in there your
mom's already dusted a little heck in there you know what how does it feel
it smells like nothing
are you sure it smells oh it's it's uh it's you oh
i haven't showered in three months that's quite a thick boy did you drop
this thing uh no that happened in shipping is that what you tell everybody
whenever you drop something like yeah that happened in shipping got it you betcha
okay that's uncomfortable why did we leave that there come on go up oh you
want it on top yeah oh my god it's up so high
the server's minty bud doesn't even need this
come on this my friends is the real reason we
switched to solid-state storage so you can drop it and it doesn't break
there's another thing that we're doing today and there's another reason we're taking all the servers out people are
careless and accidentally sign hardware out particularly to albion server
because it's the top of the alphabet in our inventory system
like you i think we'll be able to figure out a lot of it by just looking at it
like just look at albion server that was checked out to it it's like this doesn't
have a z270 board in it yeah and an 8700k
we're going to need to turn this headphones in look at it we're going to need to album server really wanted those
logitech gpro headsets pretty closely oh you might have been right there's
actually some headphones checked out it's albion server i don't think they're wireless but
tuned in ear pro we got a gtx 1080 is there a 1080 in there yeah i don't think
so so um and a monitor this thing even has its own monitor hey oh yeah
every single damn time i forget how the lid comes off of this stupid server
like there's one screw back here and i could have sworn that was the whole
skadoodle the gosh darn skadoodle there bud hey wow this is a you think it just
like what if i break it is that a problem
i mean wow you are loud i'm just gonna you know
what i'm just gonna let you bask in there how long did it take me to find the nozzle
i i say that you finding the nozzle was kind of a fluke
do you want to just go clean servers or are you gonna help me no i'm gonna help
you because after they're cleaned they need they all need to be audited so i
finally got an ip address mail to access the pf sense box this cable that we had
for the test card is garabaggio
got another cable it's fine yay we're started
yeah we've got the xeon d 2.3 gigahertz 16 threads eight cores we've got 32 gigs
32 gigs of RAM it's i think i read somewhere that the bandwidth mattered or
something and i think those were the lowest capacity ecc dimms we had it
really i don't know dude i say we just let it keep the RAM
fine i like whams so we're only what an
hour and a half in i actually don't know if we're gonna have all of this done by monday i am
finished auditing one server and Anthony is copying config files
oh come on do i even care should i put
the the drive covers over the top does it matter
i just don't know if it matters Jake do these matter they're probably good for
like vibration or something oh they see they that's exactly what
they're for yeah oh god
oh we just oh we blew each other oh no that's
fortunate at least one of these bays has an SSD in it but i don't see any so far
no no no no no oh no i need
i don't even i don't even know the best way to do this
so signed out to this server are at least one
two seven ssds that are not in it
also i really hope it didn't matter that i
changed the order of these probably not hopefully oh i really hope not how many
combinations of 24 items are there
seems like kind of a lot it's probably fine
wait what am i doing why am i putting them back in i have to scan them
oh okay oh and they're jammed
uh Anthony can i borrow your vga cable and uh peripherals and stuff yeah
dang it Anthony who screws in vga it's proper procedure to screw in vga yeah
but like it's just a test bench man
i love that servers don't sound like they're booting up they sound like
they're taking off yeah it sounded like you turned on a vacuum cleaner
so this is bad this has been taking far too long to boot there was also that
weird error with the lsi controller at the beginning or avago or
whoever owns that now so all i can really do right now is like replug it
and hope for the best here this is really
not a good scene
please poop
oh oh that's good wait yes oh oh
yes he's that is that oh that's all the drive so good
holy crap i don't know how that happened
or how it got fixed which is the very worst kind of fixed
let's go ahead and shut this bad boy back down
and go throw it in the pile of audited and all good
yeah winning this is taking a lot longer than we thought hey
well look how easy that was to get off this one's a little dirtier
why is this one so dirty
yeah that's gross 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18. ah
how's that teamwork all right i heard it makes the dream work
yeah really yeah that's what i heard dreamworks that's what i heard through the trademark we can't say that i don't
think we can say that so we still have as you may or may not have
noticed a pci express 16 hex slot you want to
put another one in there 40 gig or what are they 100 gig those stupid
are they 40 or 100 technically 100 that seems like a little upright i don't
think our switch does 100 though did it work with the Ethernet devices could you
connect to an Ethernet device over the infiniband as well oh yeah yeah sure
fine let's do it we actually have like six of those 40 gigabit ports on the uh
on the switch though yeah on the down low what ah
i don't know how this ended up in the baggie for it but it's not the right
size what really did it come with a low profile bracket i don't know well can we
just zip tie life oh people are gonna hate us
i dropped a bomb over here i probably wouldn't come home oh okay
i think this is the one that can technically do 40 gigabit but also can't
oh do you think those line up oh they probably do they're both malinox
probably yeah so we're just going to take the stock bracket and then we're
just going to cut out the parts we don't need and zip tie the card to the other
parts that we do still need it's a good plan
we should throw that at dennis and tell him it's a bug how's this going Anthony
i think this is about ready to go seriously basically i just need to
change the interface over so that it uses a vlan okay but uh once i change
that over to the office lan we should just be able to drop it in and it should
basically just work should or will uh well do you set up all the dhcp servers
yes so this is another change we're making we're putting the dhcp server back on
our router we're taking it off that uh vm that was running on one of the
Windows servers which we just typically already did that was uh did we turn that
off already oh i did that a long time ago when our internet broker the internet was broken for like a week
turns out our router's date was set to 2016. that was a good year though
this is clover server and this was built long enough ago that
eight terabyte drives were like pretty dece you say that like eight terabyte
drives aren't pretty decent still you're gonna wish
you never even thought of dust could you get this out of the way here
oh whoa whoa there's a lot of hard drives on there this whole bottom shelf
is full of hard drives why did we use this rack well because it's the lower
one
like that yeah you like that
no don't spin the fan lioness that's just a little it's fine
we should just do whole server room water cooler
pk actually has the proper stuff to do it
okay looking good all right why don't you roll the server for a change okay
but if i drop all the hard drives it's not my fault
did you fart again i think you're lactose intolerant oh
yeah i am oh holy crap it still smells like fart i
put the compressor in the middle so now we can walk wherever we want all right
we're heading to the uh move your foot are you only here one
thing at a time Jake is just speaking
now you don't hear nothing so for the uninitiated this is our water cooled
uh video export machine i won't really call it a server even though it's in a
2u rack mountable case because it's very
consumer hardware inside the main issue with this one is that it's at the very
bottom of the rack
oh yeah the orange RAM i forgot about that these are my old drives from like
my gaming rig you're referring they were refurbed when you refurb force 120s that
i bought like seven or eight years ago
well that's yeah that's a lot better than i expected given that oh you know
what i forgot this case is filtered probably need to
clean up not inside
so all that's left now is we're just going to blow out petabyte
projects in the server room we'll have that fan on and we're just going to blow
the dust out into the warehouse and good luck everybody else rip Anthony whoa
watch out there bud whoa bud we're getting attacked watch your toes there
bud are you ready for the full chooch
we got a x540 t2 yep e5 2620v4 that
sounds about right two x 400 128 gig
ssds xl16 does that say triple redundant
it does ooh baby a triple and then delta one should have 60 drives oh i don't
want to count Jake do you want to grab your screwdriver and then let's get this
edge router pro out of here pf sense actually has a really cool feature
what's it called carp failover or something like that something like that so we're just rolling out one for now
but in the future we can actually have them both connected and running in the
event that one does experience some kind of malfunction we can just uh
have it fail over automatically like i think at most you drop like a handful of
packets it's no big deal you say that like you don't like dropping packets
right Linus what i don't i don't even know what you're talking about you don't like dropping packets i'm just trying to
get this work done what if we have to drop packets to do it well we're
dropping a whole lot of packets right now wow this is very poorly installed
i know i [ __ ] hate it so i just take it out then
no because it's hardwired in at the back why is it
just i love security companies but the point is
we're gonna move it we're not gonna move it yet but soon all right time to go get
big bertha big bertha that's what your mom calls it
hey lioness yep i got some bad news what
i dropped it what no shut up you didn't no you didn't
wow so this is our new main switch
shut up so it's got 48 10 gig rj45 ports
and then this is delicious it's got six
more of these 40 gig qsfp plus ports or
whatever what's on the bottom that's our edge router at the bottom that's our edge
router that goes let me take some photos of everything just so for whatever
reason we have somewhat recollection
how about we just pull out everything we don't need to let everything turn this router off
okay so there's our old router and here this is our first 10 gig switch
i remember how excited i was about this thing when i first got it you ever
cleaned it oh look at those dust bunnies yeah i clean it once at least
so this is done this is done they're done
um Anthony how what are our what's our whoa that's
my screwdriver what are our chances looking like that by your butt well
given everything i know about networking yes this is not going to work it'll
never work what why not the first time shut up given everything i know all the
experience i've ever had with networking gear fine it's not going to work let me know when
you want to try it or if you want to just throw it right in and i'll set the
interfaces and shut it down all right thanks Anthony
i don't want to take up the entire length of the rack if we don't have to
if we can ear mounted i'd strongly prefer to do that it doesn't have ear
mounds well if we can find another way
oh god you just dropped the switch too i'm
sorry but it's really hard not to laugh
and now he's pretending like it doesn't hurt it hurts
a lot yeah i think you're just a whiny baby
yeah that pays my paycheck i can't even i can't even see what i'm
doing just you can't just unplug everything yes i
can oh oh damn it what the [ __ ]
who put this there you did it no i didn't Anthony
what your stupid amplify thing just hit me in
the face i don't know what i'm doing are you am i
able to pull this anymore out you should just get a new rack do you
want to come in for the additional weekend that it would take to swap racks
okay let's just pull this out we should just pay somebody we got the london look in our server
right now why did you plug it in it's on look at
that it's alive we need to switch those fans around hey
which way are they going they're blowing out this way oh crap i remember that now
no we can't flip those fans around i thought that was the whole point
yeah just gentle gentle gentle
we don't have time for jammed my hand in the thing
okay so Jake you've got all the
all the all the wires now the orange wand is still here okay that's fine we
can leave that i think i've already pulled it out what
well around the other side around the outside round the outside
oh you look fine yeah i feel fine
everything's fine wow we should really not run that on the inside of the rail wait did we just
unplug all the cameras wait a minute what the hell the camera yeah we unplugged all the
cameras of course we did yeah we can put the router here but i
want to move that stupid nvr somewhere else okay so this is just an Ethernet cable
we can replace this with wait where the hell was that plugged
into uh on the other side other side far far side far side
it's gonna sag and look stupid don't put the screws in properly i'm going to put
it on the top of the ups for now but there's a fan there
yeah i'm not going to put it on the top of the rack for now fine i'll put it on
the top no i need the top of the rack for organizing things i'm going to put
it back there for now so
uh Anthony figured out why we're not getting an ip Anthony you mean we
figured out well i figured out he figured out we were not
getting an ip what do you mean you figured i figured out why
i said did you set it i told you why i
asked if we needed a static ip well i didn't hear you okay so
let's start plugging in devices here shall we yeah
okay i need more energy from you i'm dying
trying to access that router so i can get the settings off of it so i
can get our internet back up long story short vlans
they don't work when you plug it directly into a computer oh i have a
switch for you well i i have a switch here that i just plugged in oh yeah
that's the switch i was going to give you so Linus yeah
these are numbered the same like i know maybe changing these to a different
color cable or what if we just mark them with a sharpie i'm gonna just oh you
just get one this is actually a really good idea yes
yeah that's right you like that wow you suck you know that
that's actually really irritating i'm actually genuinely a little bit mad
now yeah you mark them yourself
no you can't have it get one
oh damn it i hot glued the lock on this door
no he can't lock it don't even
they're back off i've been watching lots of sword fighting shows
do you see how they go for the shin you go for the shin in the face oh my
gosh you didn't even get me oh see that's the thing is the word
really what are all these kids nobody does that on the potty hey nobody's a strong word
you can't do that on cable type cable ties zip ties i've got a router
yeah zip ties too no you need a router i need it i don't i don't think you
understand they're definitely too close is this better whatever you're doing oh my ankle
is this minimum focus distance good enough i need zip ties okay i would really like
for this to not fall down and smoke me in the head
that would be three for three though all right
yeah we really need him to drop a third thing on his head
oh why is there a monitor stand in here
because it's the stand for that monitor oh my god well where else would i put it
i don't know like long-term storage for this thing that's
going to be long-term storage so you went to ubc for science general sciences
yeah so you were just burning money
it sounds very this sounds very unlike you to just burn
money like that clearly i figured it out at some point yeah you did you
definitely did why didn't you go into business
because i didn't listen to my uncle who hopefully will not watch this video
because i will get the most epic told you so
i just thought i was bleeding but there's some some ass hey Jake do you remember when
you were uh mining in the server room and you were
gonna monitor the power usage with this and you were gonna pay me back yeah yeah
remember how that didn't happen hey david move uh
uh
epic power cord that's a nice sheet thick
looks like twelve it's a thick boy like that Linus guy
what is all this yeah here
just i don't know people just bring in a power cord or whatever never take it out
i know i did that a bunch give a ton of thought to wait weren't you never supposed to unplug that thing jeez
this the the just sheer amount of extra wiring in
here is ludicrous
i think that we're ready to go you think i'm reasonably sure we're ready to go
this isn't even powered on yet do you have the air screws or the ear screws here you don't need
them it's fine okay it was a trap Linus what are all
these screwdrivers what screw drivers
what are you talking about there's like four screwdrivers just sitting in the
bottom here what like under the duve yeah under the
what the kid can do work
i mean he works real hard at it for like putting tape on the ground i really hope
it just kind of lights up and works that would be super cool it's gonna be really
unfortunate if it doesn't yeah i actually don't know what we will
do we will learn command line switch configuration
what's beeping oh the ups is having a
hissy fit oh turn unit off no wait what what is
going on no no this is kind of moment of truth it's in it's on
wait here let me unplug this and plug it back in again what no no no no just like
let's just find out if it works all right okay well i already did that so i
hope that didn't break anything wait i'm plugged into 15 upstairs i think is that
plugged in uh i don't know you tell me you're the one who fed me
all the cables from the front supposedly ah there's a 15 right there plugged in
cool all right i'm gonna go upstairs and see if we have internet
that was too much impact from my uh testicles
so here it is the moment of truth

so you said that the switch had to support vlans right yeah well do they
have to be configured should have been just drop in unless you configure
are you using new switches i'm using the dell
so why don't i plug you guys into
the netgear switch and we see if that works
it should well let's see if it does
