1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,520
so the server room behind me has gotten a lot of upgrades since the last time I

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,240
showed it off it got a gigantic ups that

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:14,480
conditions power and access a battery backup and more recently it got an

4
00:00:11,639 --> 00:00:22,359
upgrade to our solid state editing Nas going from normal SATA ssds to NVMe ssds

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:26,359
but what hasn't been upgraded is the

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:29,240
organization this place is a

7
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:34,160
disaster and we need to make some space for pet B project a clustered storage

8
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:41,559
server that we're working on with Seagate and 45 dries so we've teamed up

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:45,039
with cableorganizer.com ubiquity

10
00:00:41,559 --> 00:00:50,120
networks bonded logic Trend net and

11
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:52,840
protocase to give this place a complete

12
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:57,920
makeover so come along for the ride I mean look at this this is awful

13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:16,240
okay so the plan is as follows clean up of the room clean up of

14
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:20,600
the servers cable management of the room

15
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,880
some reconfiguration and network switch

16
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:27,159
movement upgrading our Wi-Fi here to our

17
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,200
new ubiquity gear making room for the

18
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:32,360
petabyte storage cluster by consolidating some of the roles of some

19
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:37,280
of our servers um adding acoustic dampening to

20
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:41,840
the room so that it won't be so loud out here in the studio and adding dust

21
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:47,479
filtration to the room so we won't end up with the same situation we were in

22
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:48,640
before with everything being clogged up

23
00:01:47,479 --> 00:01:53,439
with dust uh you might you guys might

24
00:01:50,640 --> 00:02:01,479
remember Johnny from previous episodes of lus tech tip such as installing a UPS

25
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,880
I lost the paper like planogram thing

26
00:02:01,479 --> 00:02:09,080
for our patch panel um so you're on figuring out what

27
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:14,480
everything is going to right y exactly okay cool

28
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:20,160
um so oh wow are you rolling roll roll roll

29
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:25,160
are you rolling okay so that is a perfect example of what can happen when

30
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,840
you cable manage your server room like this I just accidentally stepped on one

31
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:34,319
of our power squids and I knocked out

32
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,400
oh no did I knock out new wanic

33
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:42,040
server oh my goodness okay um well at any rate sorry

34
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:46,680
Johnny I was just going to say so all the like bonds that we set up in the

35
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:51,959
switches I don't think a single one of the storage servers other than new wanic

36
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:57,480
which I just put in still has any of that stuff still plugged in this is one

37
00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:00,040
of the inest stations for footage and

38
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:06,159
we're going to be moving this actually to um to a tower out here instead cuz

39
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:12,519
what we discovered was as much as it's nice to have like your GTX 1070 6950x

40
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:18,080
extreme Edition systems like behind locking key we discovered that there are

41
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:20,760
just issues with usb3 signaling that

42
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,959
prevent all these high-speed peripherals from working properly with long cables

43
00:03:22,799 --> 00:03:31,760
that go into the rooms do the aors need to be on the

44
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:31,760
internet not anymore not anymore Bo

45
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:41,439
link State change to down well while we wait for uh the Vault

46
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:49,239
to sync file systems and all that we can move pretty much everything that's not

47
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:51,439
bolted down out of here all right okay

48
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:55,840
you know it's it's amazing how my server room could end up in this condition

49
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:03,079
right uh oh balls uh this is my current

50
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:06,480
solution for a pdu or power distribution

51
00:04:03,079 --> 00:04:10,920
unit so I have these um like Dollar

52
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:14,159
Store Power Bars um we have to shut this

53
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:18,639
thing down uh hey Dennis are you still

54
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:21,479
copying files on the in just one

55
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:24,680
yeah uh yeah sorry I have to shut it down we uh we need to tear apart the

56
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:30,039
room there okay so I had all matching drives in it Cate 6 terb ones but we

57
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,560
completely ran out of capacity nowhere to put anything and I had to expand it

58
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:35,560
somehow so

59
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:43,160
I oh to those of you asking what happened to the 10 TB drives that were

60
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,199
in the desk oh suddenly there are 6 tab

61
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:51,440
drives yeah these are not officially supported

62
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:56,560
by unraid yet so I can't boot this system unless I pop these drives wait

63
00:04:54,280 --> 00:05:03,759
for it to boot up and then hot swap them back in pretty much everything is off

64
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:07,120
now yeah it's so quiet now what I've

65
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:10,919
never done this before

66
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,720
uh the lifeblood of my company I'm just

67
00:05:10,919 --> 00:05:21,400
like pulling it apart no big deal right no big deal okay

68
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,919
the like janky lifeblood of my

69
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:30,120
company it's like we're media production company literally nothing can happen

70
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:33,560
without this room operating at 100% or

71
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:38,639
at least the like 60% that it

72
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,919
does oh okay okay this feels so wrong

73
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:44,960
right now the power bar is connected to the

74
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,720
power squid the power Squid's connected to the

75
00:05:48,919 --> 00:05:57,000
other power squid actually no this power Squid goes

76
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,639
straight into uh the back of the UPS

77
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:06,639
okay so that's not that's not that bad two layers of uh ow oh ow that

78
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,440
hurt no it's fine I'm fine just hit

79
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:16,120
myself in the face I got to tell you I have actually

80
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:18,520
lied to the staff about outages before

81
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:24,400
yeah where they've been like oh what happened and I I was like oh yeah it was

82
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,360
like h a crash but like I stepped on a

83
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:31,880
power cord yeah oh my goodness I just pulled this

84
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,880
power supply out was that not

85
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,960
locked there we go

86
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:42,759
jeez that's on one of the new servers too what's my excuse for that the way

87
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:47,039
these are cable managed is like horrible stuck in there yeah it makes it very

88
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,880
difficult to get at anything I have a plan for these so once

89
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:58,080
everything's out of here we're going to like drill a hole on the top of the uh

90
00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:00,440
in the top of the cabinet what is this

91
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:06,720
oh man yeah there's a lot of unnecessary cables going out through the wall here

92
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:11,879
maybe this is so funny look at this here's like my pathetic attempt at cable

93
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:13,639
managing back when there were only five

94
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:17,840
going there and then I just like all these are not cable manage cuz

95
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:25,560
they went in after the fact woo okay wow that makes a big

96
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,560
difference

97
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,479
power

98
00:07:33,479 --> 00:07:41,000
cables you know what's funny too is we just bought a bunch more power squids

99
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:47,639
and Power Bars cuz we were out of them and I'm returning like seven to the

100
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:52,199
population I think this is about as torn down as it gets until it's time to start

101
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:59,960
pulling out servers beautiful yeah really not my favorite rails yeah got it

102
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,800
oh my goodness it's so dusty ew so while

103
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:06,479
I'm dusting out all the server rooms server rooms server rooms Johnny's

104
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:13,240
working on is getting all of the switches taken out of the rack because

105
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:18,840
every single one of them needs to move

106
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,840
for us to do our new cable management

107
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,800
schema ah this is our oldest

108
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:30,280
switch I've never actually blown it out

109
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:35,839
before this one's kind of a funny config the uh guy from datac

110
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:39,839
cat recommended like a modern core i7 and like all this good stuff and I'm

111
00:08:37,719 --> 00:08:45,920
like could I just put some old Hardware that I have lying around he's like yeah

112
00:08:41,959 --> 00:08:49,040
I guess so so got like a p80 motherboard

113
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,160
with like an 860 or an 875k or something

114
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:55,560
like that and we do get like random restarts from time to

115
00:08:53,160 --> 00:09:02,240
time so that's another reason to move this over to a virtual machine

116
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:07,600
oh Smokin there we go okay go ahead so

117
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:14,160
these are both fully solid state new servers yeah you got it

118
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:17,040
yep okay yep that's you know just the

119
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,880
entire archived history of everything LMG has ever

120
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,320
made I got to be careful with these ssds

121
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,920
hey P I'll show you something that hasn't happened since we moved in

122
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:48,079
here oh the door still won't close damn

123
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:55,640
it yeah the door closed on the server

124
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:59,440
cabinet we've partnered with Intel and telesign to talk about two Factor

125
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:05,000
Authentication it's a pretty important topic and if you

126
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:09,279
care about online security you should definitely have it activated wherever

127
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:13,200
possible if you don't know what two-factor authentication is it's an

128
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,680
additional layer of security that you can add to your account beyond your

129
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,519
password in fact we have a full video about it that you can check out here

130
00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:26,320
enabling it minimizes the chances of having someone gain access to your

131
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:29,040
account even if they key log your

132
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:34,200
password for example tons of websites have the feature but it's up to you to

133
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:40,600
enable it so participate in Intel's turn on 2fa campaign today all you have to do

134
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:45,200
is turn on two Factor authentication for your primary email address and one other

135
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:50,800
account after you've done that head to Twitter and use # turn on toofa for a

136
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:56,440
chance to win free pizza how can you go wrong tell aign will be giving away 40

137
00:10:53,560 --> 00:11:02,680
free pizzas every week and Intel will also be giving away a Lenovo Yoga 910 as

138
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,680
the grand

139
00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:06,079
prize

140
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:19,120
awesome um we put this by the door what

141
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,120
could go wrong
