I'm in search for a nice web front end to a medium sized active directory. The main use case is to automate tasks that can't be done with copy from templates (things like assigning proper UNIX attributes for IDMU, creating contacts for email forwards, etc.) and to be able to create certain simple interfaces - ie stuff that one could give HR to work with or certain special uses where user data is kept in AD and needs to be modified frequently by less privileged people for their custom apps that use AD as a credentials data base. Any recommendations?
I'd like to know the exact math of how to calculate usable capacity on a NetApp filer's aggregates. Out of experience I've been using a magic factor of 0.65-0,7 times the net RG capacity of all the aggregate's RGs.
Just as a simple example: 3 shelfs, each with 24 1TB spindles with 3 spares form an aggregate with RG-size 15, ie 3 RGs, one plex, total 45 TB capacity. The usable capacity from the RGs is ((15-2)*3) = 39TB. There are no volumes on this aggregate and the aggregate snap reserve is 5%.
The system reports a usable capacity of 27TB on that aggregate which is pretty much 39TB times the magical factor. Can anyone provide some insight?
I've heard that IBM expects from their sellers/partners to update machines before shipping to customers to the most recent firmware (uEFI/AMM/IMM/RSA etc.) releases. Can anyone comment on that one?
In my central syslog I can see a some instances ofo the following error from LSI's RDAC multi-pathing driver for Linux.

I get it from nearly all of my machines in the SAN during the day, but not all of them at once - usually one of them in 5 hours. All FC switches and all FC HBAs show no errors from today and all paths to any LUN are up when i check them. Performance (IOPS and sequential access) is also very fine. Anyone seen this?
What's the most obvious way of achieving the following: The site has an working AD infrastructure and certain parts of the infrastructure are tightly coupled GNU/Linux machines where people from the AD OU ou=linux-users,dc=example,dc=com should be able to log onto the Linux part of the infrastructure using their AD credentials but without using the DC in the Linux machine's PAM stack, ie there should be some kind of synchronization plus augmentation with the POSIX attributes (uid,gid,homedir,password) from AD to slapd. The slapd on the linux machines is OpenLDAP, the schema of the AD is from Windows 2003 without the POSIX attributes.
Is there a sane method to set uEFI settings (for machines with no OS) from a remote machine? I've just spent hours for changing the boot order of a handful of machines. The extended boot up times for uEFI machines are horrible!
I just inserted a 10GbE 16 port line card into a Cisco Catalyst 6509 series switch and nothing happens(™). The chassis recognizes the new line card but doesn't boot it up. show power and show modules follow:

I've got a Sun Storage 7000 that I'd like to backup/restore via the built-in NDMP service, since we've got an secondary SAN attached which is available via two 10GbE links to the primary storage I'd like to deploy it as a VTL solution. The secondary storage could easily be expanded with a SCSI HBA connected to a (small) 28 slot library providing two LTO4 drives. It seems that currently no FOSS backup app is able to be used as a NDMP VTL (with copy to physical tape) solution. Any low cost solutions?
I've got a brand new DS5100 SAN connected to multiple hosts (HS22 Blade in BladeCenter H) via two independent fabrics. Switch (Brocade 20p for BladeCenter) is zoned properly, ie every host in the BladeCenter sees the LUNs via both fabrics. RHEL detects the qla2xxx driver for the builtin QLogic QMI2572 4G FC CIO for BladeCenter and I can ``see'' the LUNs beeing presented as output from dmesg:

The problem now is that they aren't recognized as beeing SCSI disks, rather generic SCSI devices (/dev/sg{1-4}). An output from ``sg_map -i -sd -x'' displays:
/dev/sg1 4 0 0 0 0 IBM 1818 FAStT 0730
/dev/sg2 4 0 1 0 0 IBM 1818 FAStT 0730
/dev/sg3 5 0 0 0 0 IBM 1818 FAStT 0730
/dev/sg4 5 0 1 0 0 IBM 1818 FAStT 0730
My basic understanding is that even though this is a multi-pathed setup I don't have to have it enabled or actually use MPIO. I've tried a quick workaround via device mapper multi-pathing but wasn't getting any output from multipathd. ``sg_map'' shows that these devices are disks (-sd flag) but the LUNs are not beeing attached as /dev/sd*. Do I have to manually create the proper device nodes? Do i have to use IBM's RDAC or SDD driver to see them?
