server naming

Hi all how do you name your servers at work? some use characters from books (lord of the rings for example) what do you use? bryce --- Publitor, making Pubmed easy. http://www.sohocode.com/publitor
at my last job, we named them after terminal illnesses (anthrax, ebola, hunta, etc). we figured that if we named the servers after the nastier viri, computer-based viri would not come sniffing around. my workgroup at home is "SkyNET". ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

Funny, Star Trek ships for me too.... My Laptop is now Voyager (seemed appropriate)

My poor little NT4 server is called Rincewind... Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

We once named our servers planet names (with the dev server being named Sun as everything revolves around it :rolleyes: ). Then each department was a continent, with each pc in that department taking a name from that continent :)

That had to have taken a while to set up. :~

I've had a couple of naming conventions - currently it's based around the XBox game Halo. My desktop is "cortana" and my server is "guiltyspark" :-D. -- Ian Darling
The first Itanium2 server you get, name it Master Chief. :-D

I thought it was pretty good for the following reasons: 1) Blowing up stuff 2) 2 really hot chicks 3) More blowing up stuff 4) The computer stuff actually looked believable. SkyNET booting up looked like a Linux server going through it's bootup proceedure. :rolleyes:

The geeky way: AAABCCCC#### Where: AAA = FIL = file server PXY = proxy server WEB = web server MAL = mail server DBS = database server DTP = desktop MBL - laptop B = T = Test machine P = Production system CCCC = W2KP = Windows 2k Pro W2KS = Windows 2k Server WXPP = Windows XP Pro #### = The number of the machine in that class as it was placed into service. Padded with 0's For example, my deaktop at work is MBLPW2KP0432 MBL = Laptop P = Production system W2KP = Windows 2k Pro 0432 = I was the 432 system put online in that class Geeky I know, but it seems to work and it keep sthings consistent I have asked before about what happens when one machine is used for mutliple tasks and I was told that does not happen. Now that I think of it, I have not seen that happen so far.

I hope your backup server wasn't "Uranus"... One day in the computer room.... "Hey Joe!" "Yeah?" "Get the tape out of Uranus!" :eek: :eek:

I'm a geek, but everytime I repave my laptop I use a different Star Trek ship name...right now I'm on Valiant (a Defiant class vessel, named so after the USS Defiant). The IT guys were baffled one day when the found Defiant in Network Neighborhood. :-D

> Star Trek ship name I used that scheme for a while, but I kept forgetting which machine corresponded to which ship name, so that turned out to be useless. So I settled for the CPU speed, which I have no problem associating with the machine (obviously). My machines are now NCC700, NCC733, NCC2200, and NCC266 (my old laptop). Of course this is really only useful for a small LAN (home in this particular case). Then I suppose if I ever get more than one machine running at the same speed, I could go for NCC2200-A, B, C... :-)

Aren't you the guy who's psycho Linux fanatic...I mean user...dorm-mate has been trying to convince you that Windows is insecure by hacking you? The one John Simmons told to f*** off? Jeez, no wonder.

Yep thats the one. But he wasn't actually a roomate, he lived in the room directly across the hall. He used to have a DNS entry with his friends domain name (which must have expired now) but he quickly put a stop to that when he realized that several of my friends and I set up port forwarding on all of our firewalls to him. :cool: Matt Newman

Usually we rely on either behavorial characteristics (Evil Web 2) or beverage enhanced stupidity (SQL-o-matic). cheers, Chris Maunder
I thought Evil 2 died a while back, from the thread it mentioned something about holy water and a priest :~ But if there is Evil Webserver 2 is there an Evil Webserver 1? If so why is it never mention when you speek of evil webservers? :P Matt Newman

Dude, don't make fun of that! Our webserver is called 'uranus', and yep you guessed it, it also has a tape drive! Check uranus.riks.nl to check it out...

We had a swamp theme going for awhile: SWAMP - development server for students LIZARD - production office apps REPTILE - file server DRAGON - 1st GIS server COBRA - 2nd GIS file server a bunch of GATOR boxes for Appletalk -> TCPIP. ROOKIE SARGE FELON - 3 police servers HYDRANT - fire station MUSTANG - town planning (where that came from I don't know) We knew exactly what was on each server.:-D Then a new management team came in, renamed them all and we don't have a clue what's on each.:mad: ie. Dev2 is NT, Dev3 is Unix.:confused: Apps1, Apps2 are Unix, Apps3 is NT.:confused: Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)

Our QA department use actor names for single CPU machines and actresses for dual processors. Don't ask me why :rolleyes: Regards Thomas
