How long does it take you, to recover an arbitrary server, or duplicate an arbitrary running configuration to a new system? Especially in the latter case without a full-backup, which would contain a wrong IP Address, Hostname and other things and would therefore eventually break some things - and are storage-exhaustive.
Get into FAI - Fully Automatic Installation.
FAI http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/) is a framework for completely automated installations - via LAN, CD or USB stick, as well as configuration management for running systems. The concept "Plan your installation, and FAi installs your plan" supports, but also requires building a well planned and documented infrastructure. Configuration properties can be defined into the smallest possible Detail, and then be arbitrarily combined - a great advantage in environments with many different system types, which at the same time share one or multiple common bases and settings. FAI makes it possible to install and change many different systems at the same time.
In addition to all these things, with the grml-live software, FAI can even be used to build live cd's/usb sticks. This talk will give an overview of the functionality and possibilities of FAI, including a comparison with the also renowned software for similar, but not completely the same tasks, Puppet - which can even be integrated into FAI.

Configuration management: automating and rationalizing server setup with CFEn...Jonathan Clarke
With the advent of virtualization and cloud computing, modern IT management relies more and more on the concept of "create, set up, use and throw away" servers. In this context, the benefits of automating and rationalizing the "set up phase" are obvious. This is where configuration management tools come in to play.
This presentation kicks off with a discussion of some key points of configuration management and their benefits and drawbacks, building on real world examples (well, pseudo examples, mostly too silly to have ever really happened... or maybe not?)
The main contender is then introduced: CFEngine 3. Released in 2009, this is a brand new version of the open source configuration management solution, built on 17+ years of experience from previous versions of the software. We'll introduce the technology's key points, comparing approaches with similar devops-type tools, such as Puppet and Chef (where possible).
last cover the basics of setting up a minimal environment to start automating your configuration with CFEngine 3. We'll cover simple but illustrative examples, and show real-time demos of the technology in action.
This Blueprint is designed to help with customers who are utilising OST technology with Backup Exec’s deduplication Option to improve back end storage capabilities within a complex backup environment.
Relentless Information Growth
The data deduplication technology within Backup Exec 2014 breaks down streams of backup data into “blocks.” Each data block is identified as either unique or non-unique, and a tracking database is used to ensure that only a single copy of a data block is saved to storage by that Backup Exec server. For subsequent backups, the tracking database identifies which blocks have been protected and only stores the blocks that are new or unique. For example, if five different client systems are sending backup data to a Backup Exec server and a data block is found in backup streams from all five of those client systems, only a single copy of the data block is actually stored by the Backup Exec server. This process of reducing redundant data blocks that are saved to backup storage leads to significant reduction in storage space needed for backups.
Data has increased the necessity in making greater investments in IT infrastructure, with the increase in the duplication of data and Data protection processes, such as backup, has compound data growth creating multiple copies of primary data made for operational and disaster recovery. This has also made the Backup Infrastructure far more complex. Now that disk-based systems inherently offer faster restores, disk systems can also make backup environments more complex and difficult to manage. This creates a problem for many backup solutions to manage advanced storage device capabilities such as data deduplication, replication, and ability to write directly to tape.
Power of OpenStorage Technology (OST)
Symantec Backup Exec software and the OpenStorage technology (OST) have been designed to provide centrally managed, edge-to-core data protection in order to span multiple sites and provide disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) functionality and automate Data Movement. The OpenStorage API introduced in Backup Exec 2010 provides automated movement of data between sites and storage tiers and acts as a single Point of Management and Catalog for Backup Data, regardless of where it resides (remote office or corporate data center) or of what type of media it is stored on (disk or tape), or its age (recent backup or long term archive), providing better Control of Advanced Storage Devices.
The OpenStorage initiative allows customers to better utilize advanced, disk-based storage solutions from qualified partners. It gives the ability to ensure tighter integration between the backup software and storage, greater efficiency and performance using an easy-to-deploy, purpose-built appliance that does not have the limitation of tape emulation devices: increasing Performance and Optimization, achieving faster backups to deduplication appliances via a third-party OST plug-in enabled by Backup Exec.

Accelerating Virtual Machine Access with the Storage Performance Development ...Michelle Holley
Abstract: Although new non-volatile media inherently offers very low latency, remote access
using protocols such as NVMe-oF and presenting the data to VMs via virtualized interfaces such as virtio
adds considerable software overhead. One way to reduce the overhead is to use the Storage
Performance Development Kit (SPDK), an open-source software project that provides building blocks for
scalable and efficient storage applications with breakthrough performance. Comparing the software
paths for virtualizing block storage I/O illustrates the advantages of the SPDK-based approach. Empirical
data shows that using SPDK can improve CPU efficiency by up to 10 x and reduce latency up to 50% over
existing methods. Future enhancements for SPDK will make its advantages even greater.
Speaker Bio: Anu Rao is Product line manager for storage software in Data center Group. She helps
customer ease into and adopt open source Storage software like Storage Performance Development Kit
(SPDK) and Intelligent Software Acceleration-Library (ISA-L).

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. FAQ #00030 Date Published: 10/13/2006
Enabling Performance Monitoring on WebSphere
1) To monitor with the viewer, performance monitoring needs to be enabled in
WebSphere. Having it enabled does consume system resources. However, for standard
monitoring, IBM indicates that no more than 5% of resources would be consumed.
Navigate to your application server, runtime tab, and click the link to Performance
Monitoring Services shown below.

4. FAQ #00030 Date Published: 10/13/2006
Logging in and Using the Tivoli Performance Viewer
The performance viewer runs on Windows or UNIX. As noted early, the executable is
found in the WebSphere home/AppServer/bin directory. If running on UNIX, you execute
the shell tperfviewer.sh. If running on Windows, you execute tperfviewer.bat.
1) Logging Monitor Activity - logging is enabled via the drop down menu (see screen shot
below). When logging is enabled, it creates a unique *.xml file in the WebSphere
home/AppServer/logs directory. You can customize which counters it logs, but typically
the default of standard suffices.

5. FAQ #00030 Date Published: 10/13/2006
2) One feature of the viewer is the Performance Advisor. It provides advice that should
be taken in the proper context. For example, it suggests the initial heap size be no more
than 256mb. In reality, this depends on your application and expected heap usage and
shouldn’t be taken in absolute terms. See screen shot below.

A. Tuning your WebSphere environment (Heap size, thread pool, etc.) is a bit of
an art. Much depends on user habits, hardware limitations, and software versions.
What follows are general guidelines. They are starting points that may not be optimal for
your environment. As always, test before implementing any configuration in a production
environment.
In this document it is assumed we are working with 200 – 300 typical Documentum users
per JVM, and that this JVM is adequately supported with today’s typical CPU and
memory configurations. If you have different user targets or different user habits, adjust
your starting point accordingly.
Maximum Heap Size – 1GB
Generally, we’ve found little value going over 1GB of heap size. Typically the application
is slower as managing a large heap impacts performance. 1GB is a good starting point
with our assumed user count.
Minimum Heap Size – 512MB
This setting is more flexible. But, by starting out at a higher number, WebSphere doesn’t
have to allocate more memory as often once you are up and running.
You may also find that performance is better when the min and max heap sizes are
identical. However, be careful if you have extended periods of light user activity. During
those periods, garbage collection (GC) could be more expensive given a heap that is
much larger than needed.
How many JVMs
Adding more users may require more JVMs. If you find your heap is over 80% utilized at
peak usage and 1GB or larger, you should consider adding another JVM to compensate
as opposed to increasing your heap size.
MaxPerm and MaxNew – ¼ of max heap size
MaxPerm region (default 64MB) holds class data and long-lived resources and is often
undersized. Also, MaxNew region is for short-lived objects. In some version of the JDK it
helps to also set this to no more than ¼ of max heap size. See references at bottom for
more details.

Initial Thread Pool Settings
Proper thread pool settings vary widely by the user base’s habits and the operating
environment. Use this rough formula to arrive at a starting thread pool per JVM: (Nbr of
active users doing content transfer * 2) + (Nbr of other active users)
Given our assumptions the formula might look as follows: (200 * 2) + 50 = 450 threads.
As a result, you might want to set your initial Min and Max thread count as follows:
Minimum: 200
Maximum: 500
Note: WebSphere threads are tied closer to the number of users as compared to other
application servers, i.e., BEA WebLogic. This results in relatively large thread pools on
WebSphere.
Monitoring Thread Pool Usage
Monitor thread pool usage in Tivoli. In particular, you should monitor Percent Maxed
statistic which tells you the average percent of time ALL threads are in use. If this ever
rises above 10%, consider adding more threads to cover periods of peak system use.
