UPS not detected by HP Power Manager in Server 2008 R2

October 20th, 2011 No comments

I had an issue today where I couldn’t detect a HP R3000 UPS connected to a HP server serial port.

We tested it with 2 UPS’s, 2 different serial cables but still no joy. The HP Power manager software just kept saying it couldn’t detect a UPS and a red cross appeared.

In the end we discovered that the ILO was to blame.

To fix it, we connected to the ILO website and chose the administration tab.

Under the menu to the left, select settings and Access and then the options tab.

At the dropdown list for “serial command Line Interface Status” chose disabled and apply.

The ILO card needs to be restarted for changes to take effect. In order to restart it just go into network settings and change from DHCP to manual and back again and click apply.

Increasing the Rules Quota limit in Exchange Server 2010

September 21st, 2011 No comments

In the previous versions of Exchange Server we cannot play with the mailbox rules limit that is only 32kb (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886616). Using Exchange Server 2010 we can do that through Exchange Management Shell. Let’s see how to do that..

The cmdlet utilized to set up the mailbox is called set-mailbox:

Set-Mailbox -RulesQuota:

Let’s change the user Anne to 256KB limit using set-mailbox.

Set-Mailbox annec -RulesQuota:256KB
