Whats your server naming convention?

[KC5AV]

One place I worked named them after the Seven Dwarves. Another place named them after the characters from M*A*S*H. Here, we just have a server. For my network at home, I named the server after my cat.

Star Wars --

Anakin, Yoda, R2D2, C3PO, etc....

Most of the windows servers here are named after counties in California. The Mac servers are named after greek gods.

The only episode of sesame street he's ever seen featured the letter J I think.

in my lab they name it after birds. Peacock, puffin, buzzard, etc. When I come on board I added two machines, gentoo and penguin.

At home, I name them after girl names that I like. Jenny, Athena, buffy ...

I usually use an appropriate term for my servers. For instance, my firewall is called mother -- because it watches over my network and doesn't like it when bad people try to harm her children. My workstation is called hemoglobin, because it's my life's blood. When I wiped my bsd workstation, I named it kerri b4 I gave it away cuz I loved it to death, but isn't near me anymore. My RIP server is called payoff cuz it spits out paper that is of monetary value. There's more, but it's a long list.

Disney Princesses: Belle and Jasmine so far, Ariel is next

Functional names. They don't always coincide with the "Public" DNS names.

Examples. Portal1, Print1, Apache1, NMAP1, NMAP2, POP1, (2-node Cluster)Data1, Data2 - Cluster object=Datastore

 

[damiano]

used to be in my old comp

south park caracters for corporate servers (kenny, chef, cartmann)
fish names for app servers: orca, dolphin, barracuda
cat names for web servers: tiger, lion, jaguar etc...

pretty cool no?

now we have more organized names in new company as we managed so many clients

type:
two first letters of company+MS (for mail server)
two first letters of company+FS (for file server)
two first letters of company+SS (for SQL server)

for instance FFMS
and FFFS
and FFSS

this is one of our clients..
all of them are structured the same way
so it's easier to administer

1st Home Servers = Seame Street Characters.

2nd Home Servers = StarCraft Characters.

Work Servers = System Type/Use/location mixed into a single type: 2KNotesB216 etc. 2k being WIN2k, Notes being a Domino Server, and B216 being office/building.

that a great thread for social hacking
just need to trace wher some of you guys come from...
and we don't need to scan your networks to know what is what
oh well
just a thought

 

[spidey07]

first four chacters - site location
next four - function
next two pool

HKNG-CTRX-01

Hong Kong Citrix server 1

With hundreds of servers you HAVE to have some organization.
