Got DataDomain? Got DD OS 6.0? Your #VALID data may be getting deleted and you don’t even know it!
UPGRADE TO DD OS 6.0.1.10 IMMEDIATELY!! (Or DD Virtual 3 Update 1)
Segments ingested while the unit is in a cleanup cycle may be deleted, as the unit incorrectly marks them as invalid. You would not know you lost these segments until you attempted to restore!

Intel recently screwed us all with the Atom C2000 processors taking a massive crash and burn on end users, leading to all sorts of embedded devices turning into giant paperweights. This week, Intel blessed us with an exploit in the wild hitting their Advanced Management Technology (AMT).
AMT is their ability to remotely configure and control desktop and server systems via web service calls. Firewall off where ever possible ports 16992 and 16993, though if someone get’s inside, it’s a free for all. A Pseudo-Patch has been created. Apply it today!

GitLab certainly had a #SucksToBeYou week. Earlier this week, an admin at GitLab had the same thing happen. Too tired, rm -rf in the wrong location, but unfortunately they had poor backup practices.
Props to them for being upfront.
IF they had Netapp gear, or Cloud Ontap, they could have used SnapRestore or Single-File SnapRestore to pull back the deleted files from snapshots within seconds.

This primarily hits systems with OneFS 7.2.1.
Reboot those nodes ahead of time or patch if possible! Otherwise, it’ll #SucksToBeYou!

Some days everything goes wrong. It’s not always your fault.
Often, vendors know about problems, and may post about them, or send a communique to vendors or their top superglobomega-corp customers. You are too busy to see them, or not privileged to that information.
This category hopes to be a beacon, a guiding light to what you should know. Learn about issues before you have a day that you feel it sucks to be you.
I’ll primarily focus on Datacenter issues which affect one of my typical customers, typical products we see in virtualization, compute (hyper-converged/converged), storage systems and security.
