WEBVTT 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 00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:09.240 showed it off it got a gigantic ups that 00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:14.480 conditions power and access a battery backup and more recently it got an 00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:22.359 upgrade to our solid state editing Nas going from normal SATA ssds to NVMe ssds 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:26.359 but what hasn't been upgraded is the 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:29.240 organization this place is a 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:34.160 disaster and we need to make some space for pet B project a clustered storage 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:41.559 server that we're working on with Seagate and 45 dries so we've teamed up 00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:45.039 with cableorganizer.com ubiquity 00:00:41.559 --> 00:00:50.120 networks bonded logic Trend net and 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:52.840 protocase to give this place a complete 00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:57.920 makeover so come along for the ride I mean look at this this is awful 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:16.240 okay so the plan is as follows clean up of the room clean up of 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:20.600 the servers cable management of the room 00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:23.880 some reconfiguration and network switch 00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:27.159 movement upgrading our Wi-Fi here to our 00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:29.200 new ubiquity gear making room for the 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.360 petabyte storage cluster by consolidating some of the roles of some 00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:37.280 of our servers um adding acoustic dampening to 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 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 00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:48.640 before with everything being clogged up 00:01:47.479 --> 00:01:53.439 with dust uh you might you guys might 00:01:50.640 --> 00:02:01.479 remember Johnny from previous episodes of lus tech tip such as installing a UPS 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.880 I lost the paper like planogram thing 00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:09.080 for our patch panel um so you're on figuring out what 00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:14.480 everything is going to right y exactly okay cool 00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:20.160 um so oh wow are you rolling roll roll roll 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:25.160 are you rolling okay so that is a perfect example of what can happen when 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:30.840 you cable manage your server room like this I just accidentally stepped on one 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:34.319 of our power squids and I knocked out 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.400 oh no did I knock out new wanic 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:42.040 server oh my goodness okay um well at any rate sorry 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 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:51.959 switches I don't think a single one of the storage servers other than new wanic 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 00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.040 of the inest stations for footage and 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 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 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:18.080 extreme Edition systems like behind locking key we discovered that there are 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:20.760 just issues with usb3 signaling that 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.959 prevent all these high-speed peripherals from working properly with long cables 00:03:22.799 --> 00:03:31.760 that go into the rooms do the aors need to be on the 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.760 internet not anymore not anymore Bo 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:41.439 link State change to down well while we wait for uh the Vault 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:49.239 to sync file systems and all that we can move pretty much everything that's not 00:03:44.799 --> 00:03:51.439 bolted down out of here all right okay 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 00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:03.079 right uh oh balls uh this is my current 00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:06.480 solution for a pdu or power distribution 00:04:03.079 --> 00:04:10.920 unit so I have these um like Dollar 00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:14.159 Store Power Bars um we have to shut this 00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:18.639 thing down uh hey Dennis are you still 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:21.479 copying files on the in just one 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 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 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:35.560 completely ran out of capacity nowhere to put anything and I had to expand it 00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:35.560 somehow so 00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:43.160 I oh to those of you asking what happened to the 10 TB drives that were 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:45.199 in the desk oh suddenly there are 6 tab 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:51.440 drives yeah these are not officially supported 00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:56.560 by unraid yet so I can't boot this system unless I pop these drives wait 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 00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:07.120 now yeah it's so quiet now what I've 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:10.919 never done this before 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:12.720 uh the lifeblood of my company I'm just 00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:21.400 like pulling it apart no big deal right no big deal okay 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.919 the like janky lifeblood of my 00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:30.120 company it's like we're media production company literally nothing can happen 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:33.560 without this room operating at 100% or 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:38.639 at least the like 60% that it 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:39.919 does oh okay okay this feels so wrong 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:44.960 right now the power bar is connected to the 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:50.720 power squid the power Squid's connected to the 00:05:48.919 --> 00:05:57.000 other power squid actually no this power Squid goes 00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:59.639 straight into uh the back of the UPS 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 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:08.440 hurt no it's fine I'm fine just hit 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:16.120 myself in the face I got to tell you I have actually 00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:18.520 lied to the staff about outages before 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 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.360 like h a crash but like I stepped on a 00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:31.880 power cord yeah oh my goodness I just pulled this 00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:31.880 power supply out was that not 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:37.960 locked there we go 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 00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:47.039 these are cable managed is like horrible stuck in there yeah it makes it very 00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:51.880 difficult to get at anything I have a plan for these so once 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 00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.440 in the top of the cabinet what is this 00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:06.720 oh man yeah there's a lot of unnecessary cables going out through the wall here 00:07:03.840 --> 00:07:11.879 maybe this is so funny look at this here's like my pathetic attempt at cable 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.639 managing back when there were only five 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:17.840 going there and then I just like all these are not cable manage cuz 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:25.560 they went in after the fact woo okay wow that makes a big 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.560 difference 00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:33.479 power 00:07:33.479 --> 00:07:41.000 cables you know what's funny too is we just bought a bunch more power squids 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 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 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:59.960 pulling out servers beautiful yeah really not my favorite rails yeah got it 00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:01.800 oh my goodness it's so dusty ew so while 00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:06.479 I'm dusting out all the server rooms server rooms server rooms Johnny's 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:13.240 working on is getting all of the switches taken out of the rack because 00:08:09.080 --> 00:08:18.840 every single one of them needs to move 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.840 for us to do our new cable management 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:27.800 schema ah this is our oldest 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:30.280 switch I've never actually blown it out 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:35.839 before this one's kind of a funny config the uh guy from datac 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.839 cat recommended like a modern core i7 and like all this good stuff and I'm 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 00:08:41.959 --> 00:08:49.040 I guess so so got like a p80 motherboard 00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:51.160 with like an 860 or an 875k or something 00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:55.560 like that and we do get like random restarts from time to 00:08:53.160 --> 00:09:02.240 time so that's another reason to move this over to a virtual machine 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:07.600 oh Smokin there we go okay go ahead so 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:14.160 these are both fully solid state new servers yeah you got it 00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:17.040 yep okay yep that's you know just the 00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:19.880 entire archived history of everything LMG has ever 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:29.320 made I got to be careful with these ssds 00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:41.920 hey P I'll show you something that hasn't happened since we moved in 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:48.079 here oh the door still won't close damn 00:09:48.920 --> 00:09:55.640 it yeah the door closed on the server 00:09:52.760 --> 00:09:59.440 cabinet we've partnered with Intel and telesign to talk about two Factor 00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:05.000 Authentication it's a pretty important topic and if you 00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:09.279 care about online security you should definitely have it activated wherever 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:13.200 possible if you don't know what two-factor authentication is it's an 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.680 additional layer of security that you can add to your account beyond your 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:21.519 password in fact we have a full video about it that you can check out here 00:10:18.959 --> 00:10:26.320 enabling it minimizes the chances of having someone gain access to your 00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:29.040 account even if they key log your 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:34.200 password for example tons of websites have the feature but it's up to you to 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 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:45.200 is turn on two Factor authentication for your primary email address and one other 00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:50.800 account after you've done that head to Twitter and use # turn on toofa for a 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 00:10:53.560 --> 00:11:02.680 free pizzas every week and Intel will also be giving away a Lenovo Yoga 910 as 00:10:59.800 --> 00:11:02.680 the grand 00:11:03.079 --> 00:11:06.079 prize 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:19.120 awesome um we put this by the door what 00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:19.120 could go wrong
