Have you used any software for tracking data center assets? This computer powered by this UPS which is covered by this service contract? Some background: I asked a similar question on the FreeBSD ISP mailing list. Check that out.

These are my notes on attempting to setup OneCMBD. Some of these items would be added directly to their wiki, if I they give me access.

Same error occurs in the README. bin/onecmdb.sh contains #!/bin/bash. Why bash? Why not /bin/sh? ELF binary type “0” not known – you need to load linux compatibility: kldload linux. This needs

Are any of you running OneCMDB? If not, are you running some other Configuration Management Database?

Today I arrived home from a 12 day business trip. While I was away my home network lost connectivity. When I arrived home, I started to investigate. dhclient was running. No IP address. Running it found no DHCP servers. The MoCA light was flashing red on the ONT. I called Verizon. We rebooted the OTN (or so I was told we were rebooting it). Then we rebooted my Verizon router, which was odd.

Taken from the original with completed items removed. I have several items I would like to complete in the short term. Writing them down may help me commit to doing them.
