Yeah, and the issue is that he's really not enough for all the things they need around there. They needed to hire a full-time network administrator a year ago. 30 people whose jobs all basically are done on high end PCs and servers handling petabytes of data need a real professional in there.
LMAO @ the labels on the laptop trolley at the start "IN CASE OF FIRE [...] TAKE A PICTURE OF SAID FIRE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA" "IF YOU SEE A NOTE 7, FIND SHELTER AND ALERT THE PROPER AUTHORITIES"
The relationship in this video speaks as to why I think this channel has done so well. Linus seems to be a cool approachable leader with a decent amount of management skill.
You guys seriously need to get some proper filtration for that server room. That is unless you enjoy doing this sort of clean up work every 6 months. Might I suggest an HVAC air handler with dual AprilAir merv 13 filters minimum. This way you can filter the air going into the room while creating a positive pressure environment in the room itself. That will fix the dust problem quite nicely for well under a grand.
plus the extra power you need, plus the serverhardware wont live long enough to die on dust related sickness. seriously for one rack, not even full, it doesnt make that much sense. but you create other problems, and have to maintanance. its obivious they dont do maintanance on a shedule. so your airfilters wont do much pressure if not cleaned regularly.... than the heat issue as we have no climated room there .. yea not really worth it for 4 or 5 servers that wont live longer than 3 years thanks to all the free hardware they recieve
@@skaltura Could that be done for a home server room for say under a $200? I live in a cold climate so there will be cold air outside 10 months of the year.
Linus as a server tester I respect you, many issues comes and goes in testing but I've always wondered how this affect our {my} end customers. I hope my co-workers find your vids so it can explain better what I've been trying to do. Have a nice day to you all.
yeah, the problem is the bosses always put the most important network parts in the smallest spaces. like it's not the most important thing for your company to have a good working network even if you have a company that runs on it. now for a metal factory, I can see where it's not as important. But darn it most offices and tech comp's its killing both the brains and the heart if you have network problems.
I'm a Network/System Engineer too but this was way more unorganized then it should have been. No planning what so ever. Why not make a management interface on the old and new routers so they can be accessed via VLAN 1 and not need to have a switch configured on other vlans to access it... etc... like no common sense going on in this video. Was funny to watch I guess...
Network engineer here. A major network upgrade like this in a production environment would usually take weeks of planning, with every single step being planned out and documented, and going through risk assessment with a full backout plan. Preferably being done in a test environment first if possible. Working it out as you go along is a recipe for failure. Especially if your contractors up and leave and you have to figure out what they did.
I think the problem is that they are running a massive operation 24/7. It is easy to say but harder to do. They basically have one of everything so they'd either have to build out a whole new system and then switch it over or try and do it all at once and hope it works. I'm sure he plans on it at some point but in the mean time has 400 videos to get out every week.
@@kperkins1982 Building a new network setup and switching over is the only right way to do it. The servers can still get the sneakernet migration once the new network has been tested and running, even if it's just on a bench.

You're joking but they really need someone.. How to program these maintenance windows. And based on what Linus said about "Shutting down" while people wasn't working I bet that Pfsense box is pretty behind on updates too.. Which is kinda critical since Pfsense got a couple of CVE on 2018..
This is such a nice video to watch compeared to the normal scripted stuff. Also who ever edited, use them more often cause they understand modern times better.
The "DIC" part was by far, the best thing, I have ever seen, in a TH-cam video, or any video ever. Give this editor A GOD DAMN RAISE!!! Also "We blew each other!" "Oh no... that's... unfortunate"
I know what happened but I know networking to some degree.. he really needs to hire someone with a network+, ccent, ccna.... and someone with experience :p also some cable combs and a neater networking closet woulda helped them save time for sure. but this is definitely funny to watch them stumble.
Almost every server rack has a removable door. Dollars to donuts he could have pulled up two rods and just pulled the door off instead of drilling a frigging hole!
The tiny server room is hilarious. I designed bigger server rooms for 5 user shops. They complained at design time but got multiple thank-yous when it came time to upgrade.
You need to trunk/tag the VLANs on both the pfSense port connected to the switch, and the corresponding switch port on the Dell. I've never interacted with a Dell switch, but I'd expect it to be notated as tagged or untagged ports. Client ports should be untagged on the client VLAN, and ports that go between VLAN-aware devices should generally be tagged with the required VLAN IDs. Also, for testing purposes, you can configure a Windows NIC to tag a certain VLAN in the properties so it can communicate properly. You don't want to have to do that as a general practice, but during setup it might help.

Green hoodie guy is that guy who always tries to impress the boss while doing the least amount of work possible always standing around trying to look busy when hes not.
That is why you don't comb over cables in front of equipment. You always go to the side of the rack or completely above the rack to the side. So that in the event you have to pull something out you aren't unplugging network cables.
"Combover" networking design. That's a new one on me. I also have a recommendation for doing work during a maintenance window, when you have limited time to get things done: always pre-plan everything you're doing and have the tools and equipment pre-staged during regular business hours, so that when the maintenance window starts, you know you have all the tools and equipment you need.
Well Anthony, VLANs do work fine even when directly plugged into a computer. There are two ways: a) If your computer does not support VLAN (because of the NIC driver) you tell the Switch/Router/whatever that all untagged packets being received on the port the computer is plugged in are treated as "VLAN X". b) You set the correct VLAN in the NIC driver on your computer.
Exactly what I wanted to point out ... Realtek has drivers that support assigning VLAN. Intel does as well but they broke with Windows 10 so I went back to assigning VLANs to switch ports and haven't tried vlan tagging on more recent Intel Windows 10 drivers. The ASUS consumer 10GB card drivers also support assigning VLAN.
Considering the fact that there was a noticeable amount of dust being blown out of some of those servers, switching from an air-based cooling system to a water-based system sounds like a very good idea.
That's the difference about enterprise networking. They don't trust anything, so it takes an act of god to make a change and if it's approved, another month of your life to implement and another piece of your soul as you have just added another bandaid to the legacy DC instead of fixing a fundamental problem which will eventually cost a fortune in soft costs with thousands of wasted man-hours, and what you once thought was your dream job is now the thing you hate most in your life. Queue "Debbie Downer" theme song...
Guess it's sort of fun seeing them handle enterprise hardware maintenance like a bunch of rambling teenagers, with comparably 'untidy' rooms as well. And notice the very pro looking "server room" sign, copy paper attached with no less than 4 pieces of tape. Another failure just around the corner!
"Maybe we should mark the cables with sharpie." Oh finally, some professional networking sense. *Proceeds to wipe sharpie across cables in a blood-spatter pattern.
13:45 The DKRZ (Deutsches Klima Rechenzentrum/German Climate Computingcenter) has a huge water cooled server room. It's really fucking impressive, I've worked there replacing the thermal paste because they started overheating. The cable management was also very German very clean, it was beautiful to look at.
I've been there fairly recently! The water cooling is pretty cool, but who thought it was a smart idea to put the actual server room on the top floor of the building? I asked one of the guys and apparently the staff there don't know either, but they do know that the roof had to be disassembled and rebuilt higher up because the architects hadn't initially considered the fake floor that every server room has. Also, there's a lot of wasted space because some zones of the floor have different load ratings than others, meaning they can't place cabinets in some spaces and can only put the cages with harddrives at specific points on the floor.
Love these "behind the scenes"/"unscripted" videos, not because the scripted videos are boring, but because they are much more like the ambitious projects you used to do.

You should hire a Network Engineer. :slips resume under door:
You're joking but they really need someone.. How to program these maintenance windows. And based on what Linus said about "Shutting down" while people wasn't working I bet that Pfsense box is pretty behind on updates too.. Which is kinda critical since Pfsense got a couple of CVE on 2018..
you're suicidal
More of a Infra Engineer, which needs to know his manure about HW/Networking/SysAdmin and even DevOps
Doesn't Anthony have experience in that field?
@@Fonic_Artes he is probably not specialist in everything. probably just networking
This is such a nice video to watch compeared to the normal scripted stuff. Also who ever edited, use them more often cause they understand modern times better.

Well this is Infrastructure Engineering, you can't get more tech than building tearing down and rebuilding a network server infrastructure.
No idea what happened in this vid but it was hilarious
Agreed, I really enjoyed this and I hope more are to come!
I know what happened but I know networking to some degree.. he really needs to hire someone with a network+, ccent, ccna.... and someone with experience :p also some cable combs and a neater networking closet woulda helped them save time for sure. but this is definitely funny to watch them stumble.
What happened is a Three Stooges episode, but 45 Moore's Law cycles later.
Almost every server rack has a removable door. Dollars to donuts he could have pulled up two rods and just pulled the door off instead of drilling a frigging hole!
it Linus ghetto works.. what to expect lol
that part frustrated me a lot, just remove the damn door it takes 2 seconds!
He went to General science mate
Eh he probably doesnt want to break it......get it cause he drilled a hole in it
@@colunizator What does that mean? Sorry, I just don't know the term.
The tiny server room is hilarious. I designed bigger server rooms for 5 user shops. They complained at design time but got multiple thank-yous when it came time to upgrade.

You need to trunk/tag the VLANs on both the pfSense port connected to the switch, and the corresponding switch port on the Dell. I've never interacted with a Dell switch, but I'd expect it to be notated as tagged or untagged ports. Client ports should be untagged on the client VLAN, and ports that go between VLAN-aware devices should generally be tagged with the required VLAN IDs. Also, for testing purposes, you can configure a Windows NIC to tag a certain VLAN in the properties so it can communicate properly. You don't want to have to do that as a general practice, but during setup it might help.
Btw macOS support VLAN natively. Might try that too. (If I recall correctly, Windows VLAN tagging in properties is depend on NIC's driver)
Dell is probably a rebranded hp switch. They do rebranded Aruba for wireless controllers so more than likely hp.
Of all the hardware I've run into Cisco is the one who doesn't follow the standard tag/un-tagged VLANs. They have the market share to not care.
@@khullarmudit They might built they own (or maybe by Force10). Dell bought Force10(Network equipment) quite a while.

@@smallfoxx I think at this point they'd have to move to Cat6A cabling throughout the building - because some of the loops are going to be longer than 55m - before they think about putting a patch panel in.
@@CataclysmZA If that is a future concern, then put in a Cat6A panel to reuse in the future. The point is, get rid of that mess and stop moving your cable runs.

That is why you don't comb over cables in front of equipment. You always go to the side of the rack or completely above the rack to the side. So that in the event you have to pull something out you aren't unplugging network cables.
Intel optane: accelerate your slow old mechanical hard drive! Also, it can hold doors!
But mainly door holding.
"Combover" networking design. That's a new one on me.
I also have a recommendation for doing work during a maintenance window, when you have limited time to get things done: always pre-plan everything you're doing and have the tools and equipment pre-staged during regular business hours, so that when the maintenance window starts, you know you have all the tools and equipment you need.
Yes. This is important.
Well Anthony, VLANs do work fine even when directly plugged into a computer. There are two ways: a) If your computer does not support VLAN (because of the NIC driver) you tell the Switch/Router/whatever that all untagged packets being received on the port the computer is plugged in are treated as "VLAN X". b) You set the correct VLAN in the NIC driver on your computer.
Exactly what I wanted to point out ... Realtek has drivers that support assigning VLAN. Intel does as well but they broke with Windows 10 so I went back to assigning VLANs to switch ports and haven't tried vlan tagging on more recent Intel Windows 10 drivers. The ASUS consumer 10GB card drivers also support assigning VLAN.
This looks like a different language lol.... have no idea what y’all are talking about.
@@a351must2 Newer Intel drivers fixed the bug with VLANs.
Considering the fact that there was a noticeable amount of dust being blown out of some of those servers, switching from an air-based cooling system to a water-based system sounds like a very good idea.
This needs to be a TV show.

“We should just do whole server room water cooling.”
YASS!! I’d love to see that video! 😃
People I wouldn't trust with enterprise hardware or networking: Everyone in this video.
That's the difference about enterprise networking. They don't trust anything, so it takes an act of god to make a change and if it's approved, another month of your life to implement and another piece of your soul as you have just added another bandaid to the legacy DC instead of fixing a fundamental problem which will eventually cost a fortune in soft costs with thousands of wasted man-hours, and what you once thought was your dream job is now the thing you hate most in your life. Queue "Debbie Downer" theme song...
Guess it's sort of fun seeing them handle enterprise hardware maintenance like a bunch of rambling teenagers, with comparably 'untidy' rooms as well. And notice the very pro looking "server room" sign, copy paper attached with no less than 4 pieces of tape. Another failure just around the corner!
Davith de Vries if you call that enterprise hardware. Lol not.
Wouldn't mind being a freelancer for them... Sys admin with a 6 year Cisco background... I can shape the place up.
Well, this is just the next step from a working reboot.
Didn't the camera man have to come in on a Saturday as well? Everyone forgets about the man behind the camera.
"Maybe we should mark the cables with sharpie."

The DKRZ (Deutsches Klima Rechenzentrum/German Climate Computingcenter) has a huge water cooled server room.
It's really fucking impressive, I've worked there replacing the thermal paste because they started overheating. The cable management was also very German very clean, it was beautiful to look at.
nice
How much time did it take to replace all the thermal paste? How many kilos of that went in there?
OVH had whole data centers water-cooled for a while now
Hört sich krass an
I've been there fairly recently! The water cooling is pretty cool, but who thought it was a smart idea to put the actual server room on the top floor of the building? I asked one of the guys and apparently the staff there don't know either, but they do know that the roof had to be disassembled and rebuilt higher up because the architects hadn't initially considered the fake floor that every server room has. Also, there's a lot of wasted space because some zones of the floor have different load ratings than others, meaning they can't place cabinets in some spaces and can only put the cages with harddrives at specific points on the floor.
I used to think about how cool it would be to work for Linus until I watched this
(Sarcasm)
Trey Keys sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and apparently far to difficult for you.

so what you're saying is you would still want to work for him?
