Server names - what do you call yours?

[john]

For your new fruit, how about passionfruit?

[openhgs]

Ok

ours are called Bart, Marge, Homer etc

Which is what our Linux servers are called - The LTSP servers are Lisa, Bart, Maggie, Homer, Marge, MrBurns, Selma, and Patty. Maud, Ned and Rod (with Tod to come) are a clustered file server. Otto does the backups, Apu is my development box, Skinner is the print server and ComicBookGuy is the intranet server. There are plenty more names available if we get more servers.

For M$, the CMIS server is SV1 (server 1) and there isn't a server 2. The eportal box is rather imaginatively named eportal.

Homers the name of my media server

Our naming structure for severs has been after LOTR since 2000.

We have everything here from Sauron through to Aragorn

[dave.81]

Sure this is a common one but currently we have Earth, Sun, Moon, Mars, Saturn, Titan and Mimas.

I wont go into my thought process's but they are all named for a reason relating to the place, i was bored that day

Sort of:

os-type-lastdigitofthe ip
so
xp-wks-100
23-svr-1

For servers then you then have CNAMEs for the services
sims > 23-svr-1

[Messa]

DC0 DC1 etc for Domain Controllers, FS1 etc for File Servers, WS1 for webserver etc etc

[vikpaw]

It's all a little confusing for me at the moment using:

admin-two
admin-four
admin-five
admin-six
admin-eight

it's like security by obfuscation, very effective !

at another place we just went for purpose e.g. W = webserver, D = Database, F = file etc. so FSvr1, DSvr2 . . .

[BatchFile]

Currently changing the previously dull CpsFileSrv1 etc. to Harry Potter theme as they are replaced.

Argus the ISA server, Flitwick the terminal server, Hermione the backup server. Severus the SIMS server coming this summer.

Saving Albus and Harry for when I replace the DCs

Wireless APs are named after Hogwarts ghosts: Myrtle, BloodyBarron, Nick etc.

Our two Art Dept file servers are Mona and Lisa Our mail server used to be Pat (after Postman Pat) but now we've upgraded to Exchange it's boring dan-ex-001.

[Extro]
