EATON IPM Appliance: Update IP address

The EATON Intelligent Power Manager is a software package that help monitor and manager UPS connected to your server infrustracture and can be installed in different ways. For virtual environments, the easiest way is to deploy the pre-configured Virtual Appliance for VMware ESXi.



However what I discovered is there is no easy way to reconfigure the IP addresses just from the management console. As the appliance is based on Centos Linux, you can use basic Linux commands to change the IP address.

For this, you will need either direct console access or SSH.
As you will be changing the IP address and a disconnection will be required, I advise connecting via the direct console.

  1. Log on to the Virtual Appliance as root
    (Default username is 'root'; default password is eaton)
  2. Use vi to modify the ifcfg-eth0 file

    #vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

    Update with the following lines:
    DEVICE=eth0
    BOOTPROTO=static
    ONBOOT=yes
    TYPE=Ethernet
    IPV6INIT=no
    IPADDR=x.x.x.x
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0

    Then, save and close (:wq)
  3. Use vi to modify the sysconfig/network file

    #vi /etc/sysconfig/network

    Update with the following lines:
    NETWORKING=yes
    NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
    HOSTNAME=localhost
    DOMAINNAME=localdom
    GATEWAY=x.x.x.x

    Then, save and close (:wq)
  4. Restart the network service to have settings take affect

    #service network restart

    When purchasing a new major appliance, you might consider also buying the home appliance repair service warranty that goes with it. Not every appliance is guaranteed to come from the factory ready to work for you for the next several years. Some have major problems, and with a service warranty that covers everything, you can avoid the headaches that come with them. appliance repair in lake forest, ca

Office 365 ScanPST to fix corrupted Outlook files

Image
In Office 365, which uses the Click-to-Run technology, Office program files are now in a new location.


When you experience issues with Outlook, often you would use the ScanPST.exe tool to repair PST and OST files with Outlook.

This tool can now be found in the following location:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\ScanPST.exe
This should apply for both 32-bit and 64-bit installations of Office 365.

Update:

 Microsoft has published a Knowledge Base article list the locations of the ScanPST utility depending on your installation of Office 365. Whether you're using 32 or 64 bit versions.

Repair Windows 7 after removing a Linux partition (Dual Boot)

Image
I have seen the appear alot in the forums of people are running a dual boot scenario on their computers, dual-booting Windows with Linux, and no longer want the Linux system. Simply removing the paritions causes Windows to longer boot. In this article I explain how you can fix this problem.

In this article, I will show you how to repair Windows 7 after removing Ubuntu 11.10. Although, this will work regardless of the distribution of Linux you are using.




When you remove the Linux partition(s) you essentially remove the boot loader and screw up the master boot record. This need to be repaired for Windows to work again.

Deleting Office 365 Tenant

Image
For a long time now, I have been using trials to test new technologies at home that I can use for my work like every good tech does. With the introduction of Office 365, more and more I need to be able to test the clouds services for different scenarios. However, I like to completely remove any services that I am finished with an no longer need as a end-of-the-day clean up task.
So how do you do this with Office 365?
By default, once the trial subscription expires the tenant will remain active allowing you a chance to purchase a new subscription and assign to your tenant. In this case I know I will never need the tenant again.
So this is what I have found to decommission a Office 365 trial tenant using Azure Active Directory.
WARNING!
Please triple check that you are doing this on the correct tenant. This deletion is unrecoverable. You do this at your own risk.
Prerequisites Before you can start this process you need to make sure:
All subscriptions are deprovisioned
