New file server

[VictorLazlo]

I need a name for this new file server.

All the other servers have mundane names like MAIL2, DC1, WWW1, etc.
I'd like to start using names that are a little more interesting.

What naming schemes do the admins in this forum use for their servers?

 

[Feldenak]

United States Navy ships.

Edit: Oops, didn't mean to be that specific.

 

[Fiveohhh]

We only have one server here, so I just named it the company name with "svr" on the end.

I used to use muscle cars and Superman character names. Now, I use WWII ship names (US, Russia, and Germany).

 

[Ogg]

we name all of servers after Star Wars characters..............

We recently added Boba-Fett to the mix that inclues C3P0, r2d2, vader, jabba, obiwan, etc....!!




Our main office uses names of birds for every comp in the domain!!:Q

80's tv shows. We had knightrider, airwolf, etc. X-Men characters, homestarrunner.com names, anything really. Get creative. Currently ours are named after Alias the tv show characters.

I wish i had a cluster of servers. If I did I would name them after popular TV shows that I used to love to watch on day time TV as a kid...

A-Team
Airwolf
MacGyver
HeMan

Or perhaps, TV characters from A-Team:
BABarakus
FaceMan
and so on...

 

[mcvickj]

I know someone who uses the character names from Lord of the Rings. I use the names of planets and moons.

That's the one I was looking for: Adult Swim characters! Futurama maybe.

Thanks man.

We have many:

airportcode-role-region-childobject-domain.com etc.

They get kind of cryptic after a while.

Looks in MNP....

Hmmm... 3402 objects.

Cheers!

 

[cKGunslinger]

I use characters from Homer's "The Iliad" for my machines, typically.

 

[DeviousTrap]
