Cisco 6807 VSS ISSU Upgrade

on October 28th, 2016 by Hades

The Request:

I have a client with multiple 6807 VSS pairs that required an IOS upgrade. All of the pairs have a single SUP2-T in each chassis and were in the 15 code train.

Although the ISSU process is very straight forward I wanted to put this quick process up as I had to search through multiple documents to gather all the pieces I needed to knock it out.

The Solution:

Since these switches were in the proper code train to utilize ISSU I decided that was the best route to go. It also helps that everything was already dual-homed. This process is for VSS pairs with only one SUP per chassis! If you have another configuration you can reference the Cisco document provided at the bottom of the post.

Experimental OpenCL driver for Ubuntu 16.04

on July 17th, 2016 by Hades

On Ubuntu 16.04, fglrx support was dropped and currently the opensource driver AMDGPU is still in an early stage and only supports very limited devices. I attempted to make the OpenCL part of fglrx working and made a modified fglrx package providing OpenCL support on Ubuntu 16.04. There is still no X support, so if you want to use X you have to use another GPU with X11 driver. The modified driver can co-exist with radeon, so you can just grab a low-end AMD card for display only. The followings are the changes I made:

 

  1. Applied patches to the driver source to make it compatible with kernel 4.4.
  2. Modified the driver so that it can co-exist with radeon. I added an new parameter “blocked_devs” to fglrx. You can specify the device IDs (separated by comma) that fglrx will skip and thus these devices can then be used by the radeon driver.
  3. The modified fglrx should be loaded before radeon, otherwise radeon will take all AMD GPU devices and conflict with fglrx. I made necessary changes to the postinst script and modprobe.d configurations to make this automatic for you.
  4. fixed an openCL crash bug by adding the /etc/ati folder to the package.

Клавиша Delete в Mac OS X

on June 14th, 2016 by Hades

На маленькой клавиатуре Apple нет клавиши Delete, работающей как  в Windows, то есть удаляющей символы после курсора. Частично ее функцию выполняет клавиша Backspace, но она удаляет символы только перед курсором. Просто и удобно, но почему-то новоиспеченным маководам это не нравится…. и они задаются вопросом где кнопка delete на mac?  И не найдя ее  очень расстраиваются. Я не понимаю зачем удалять символы после курсора, ведь разумнее их удалять перед ним. :) Однако кнопка  Delete есть !!!

How to use OpenCL on Ubuntu 16.04

on May 24th, 2016 by Hades

There have been many issues reported when installing Ubuntu 16.04 and the latest beta (which is also the future release).

I’ve installed it myself to see what’s going on.

Here we go:

  • Make sure to install Ubuntu 16.04 server as minimal as possible. No X11, no drivers, etc.

There’s ultimately just one package you need:

  • ocl-icd-libopencl1

Additionally, if you compile from GitHub source (otherwise you can skip this):

  • opencl-headers

Manually Testing SSL/TLS Weaknesses

on May 18th, 2016 by Hades

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols aim to provide client and server systems with a means of establishing an encrypted communication channel. Though best known for putting the “S” in HTTPS,  their use is not limited to web-based systems; they are also commonly used as a wrapper for other unencrypted services such as FTP.

While SSL has historically been the dominant protocol for securing the Internet, a rash of attacks in recent years has prompted a migration to its successor, TLS. This alone is not enough to guarantee a secure connection, however. TLS has also been found to have weaknesses and careful configuration is needed to avoid exposing communications to compromise from a network-based attacker. SSL/TLS flaws are widespread; SSL Pulse estimates that over three-quarters of the SSL/TLS deployments currently in use by the top one million websites are inadequately configured.

How to Find Your Mac’s Exact CPU Model

on April 12th, 2016 by Hades

When buying a new Mac, Apple gives you just enough information about the system’s hardware to make a good comparative choice between the different models, but the company keeps the exact hardware details hidden in order to avoid customer confusion. For example, when shopping for a new MacBook Air, Apple tells you that the base CPU is a “2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache”, but doesn’t reveal the specific model.
