Playbooks will use the -e flag to provide "extra" variables to make the playbooks reusable for different nodes and storage resources. In this series of playbooks the variables will be stored with the nodes in the inventory groups. There are many different ways to write inventory files (classic. We’re now ready to create an inventory and start writing playbooks to manage storage resources. $ ansible-galaxy collection install hpe.nimble Next, use ansible-galaxy to install the HPE Nimble Storage Content Collection for Ansible. Let’s begin with installing Ansible and the required HPE Nimble Storage SDK for Python using pip. Privileges are needed on managed hosts where we want to attach storage. No special privileges are needed on the Ansible host. Note: All examples listed below are available in this GitHub repo (change directory to ansible/introduction). In this first installment, we’ll cover basic volume provisioning, snapshotting, cloning, inspecting, mutations and ultimately decommissioning volumes. Expect a series of blog posts over the coming months to cover more use cases. Since the collection contains more than a whopping twenty two modules, one blog post won’t be able to cover the entire suite. These requirements are also listed with the modules' documentation. NimbleOS 5.0 or newer is required on the array. We’ll also assume that iSCSI, multipathing and SAN connectivity is established between the SAN hosts and the HPE Nimble Storage array. Since an Ansible collection is a fairly new construct in the Ansible universe, version 2.9 is required, along with Python 3.6 or newer for the HPE Nimble Storage SDK for Python (which the Ansible modules rely on). There’s one HPE Nimble Storage array (nva) in the environment. In the following examples there is one node acting as the Ansible management host (node21) and there are two nodes (node22 and node23) acting as iSCSI SAN hosts. The modules have not yet been merged into the official Collection Index and documentation is provided from the GitHub repo as a temporary solution. All modules are documented per Ansible community standards.

8/30/2023 0 Comments Was feeling about half past deadSome members of the group have said that they contributed to it but were not credited thus causing tension in The Band. There are three different vocalists on the song with Helm taking lead on the first three verses, Danko takes the fourth and Richard Manuel who harmonises. Robertson and then proceeds to list the band members – Jaime Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Gareth Hudson & Levon Helm. There is also a dispute over the writing credit. In turn, the opening line was another inspiration to the Scottish rock band, Nazareth, led by Dan McCafferty, who took their name from that line. Two big cap guns, he wore, plus a toupee!” Ronnie would always check with Crazy Chester to make sure there wasn’t any trouble around town and Chester would reassure him that everything was peaceable and not to worry because he was on the case. He was like Hopalong Cassidy, and he was a friend of the Hawks, the backing band of Ronnie Hawkins. ‘Crazy Chester’ was a guy we all knew from Fayetteville who came into town on Saturdays wearing a full set of cap guns on his hips and kinda walked around town to help keep the peace if you follow me. ‘Young Anna Lee’ was Anna Lee Williams from Turkey Scratch. Fanny died in April 1989 at the age of 101 and the book store eventually closed in 2007.Īs for the rest of the song’s characters, well they are all based on real people as Levon Helm explained in his autobiography This Wheel’s on Fire: Levon Helm and The Story of The Band: “‘Luke’ was Jimmy Ray Paulman. Robertson spent hours there and gained much inspiration for this song. She was still running it in the late sixties when Roberson visited to study Bergman’s and Bunuel’s film scripts of which she had plenty. Frances ‘Fanny’ Steloff was the lady who founded and ran the Gotham Book Mart shop in New York in 1920. So, what about the lead character, Fanny? Well she is real. There’s another film influence in the second verse we hear, ‘When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin’ side by side’, “that was borrowed from Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 film The Seventh Seal and the famous chess game against the Grim Reaper.” The guy in my song starts by asking the first person he sees in Nazareth about a place to stay the night, a biblical concept.” It was those burdens that are ‘the weight’. As I mentioned earlier, Robertson was a fan of Bunuel whose 1959 film Nazarín was also the inspiration as it “unlocked many thoughts in my head, I just knew I wanted characters to unload their burdens on the song’s main character in each verse. One evening when he was working on the song, he looked inside his guitar and saw that it was made in Nazareth in Pennsylvania, where Martin Guitars have had their production line since 1933, not the one in Israel which is what the Bible refers to. It has a number of Biblical references, e.g., the opening line reveals, ‘I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling ’bout half past dead’ which, as Robertson explained to Seth Rogovoy, was inspired by his 1951 Martin D-28 acoustic guitar. The Weight is one of many songs where the title is not mentioned and thus leaves an air of mystery as to exactly what the weight is. That abode influenced the title of the Band’s debut album Music from Big Pink, the album that included three Dylan-penned songs and this week’s suggestion. They briefly returned to club work until in 1967 when Dylan then invited them back to join him for his appearance in Woodstock and they agreed and temporarily rented a pink house which they affectionately named Big Pink. During that tour, Dylan was injured in a motorbike accident and the tour was halted and the band had no work. That tour was billed as Bob Dylan and the Band. Helm, out of loyalty to the rest of the members, told Dylan that he hired all or nothing and so Dylan agreed to hire all of them. Robertson and Helm had a meeting with Dylan and he was impressed and wanted to hire the two of them but. In 1965, Bob Dylan was looking for a backing band for his first ‘electric’ tour and it was the blues singer John Hammond Jr who recommended The Band. The group’s lead singer and drummer Levon Helm decided the name The Band worked well and so it stuck. In 1964 some members left and began backing various singers especially around the Woodstock area. The nucleus of the band began in 1957 when they were called The Hawks. Who were these people? Well, the group’s guitarist and occasional vocalist, Robbie Robertson said it was based on some films he’d recently watched by the Spanish film maker Luis Buñuel, so there might be a clue. This week’s choice is by Bob Dylan’s former backing group and is full of characters like Luke, Jack, Anna Lee, Miss Moses, Carmen, Chester and, needless to say, Fanny. 8/30/2023 0 Comments Halo games in order story wiseNot a bunch has changed at the core, but it's much better looking with expanded vistas and texture details across many of the locales. Terminals have been added with some more back story and lore filling, along with achievements for doing basically every easter egg. Gameplay feels great and exactly like it did back in the day although the new Xbox One controller makes everything feel much more alive with the rumble along with scheme options. Cortana also looks a tad weird in the new version game textures compared to the original except in the cutscenes where she looks the best she ever has. You can switch between the graphics instantly and the original holds up very nicely as well as the newer graphics. Everything gameplay wise feels the exact same though the quality of the new textures definitely makes a huge difference. Those cutscenes are so lifelike to the point I'd say they should be standard for games and even movies from which I have never seen that quality before. Additionally cutscenes have been completely redone by Blur which should be given a budget to make us a feature length film already, because damn. Getting the full anniversary treatment the entire graphics have been overhauled to make it look like a fresh title of today while preserving the game we fell in love with so long ago. It's so hard for me to believe that it has been ten years already and I'm shocked. This is the big one or well the focus of this pack since Halo 2 has finally hit it's ten year anniversary. On Site we originally gave Halo: CE Anniversary a 9/10. An epic story with mystery and some of the best FPS gameplay of all time. The Master Chief along with Cortana take the battle to the surface where they discover the history of this strange place while running into a deadly secret held deep below its surface. To recap on the story, the Pillar of Autumn is being chased from Reach with them running into a ring world called Halo. All the charm of the original is still there at core, though the new controller makes the gameplay feel much better with areas definitely using the rumble to the full advantage. The improved movement systems are also back which I mean the added lights to paths in order to make movement through the world more guided. I can't say it looks insanely upgraded, but these additions to make it perform much better. Switching between the graphics of new and old is instant now compared to being delayed in the past. Combat Evolved looks even better with the higher resolution and frames while keeping that iconic look. There were also achievements for the first time and some Kinect add-ins that didn't make it into this package as they were very awkward/delayed. We were luckily given a tenth anniversary edition back a few years ago which revamped the graphics along with adding terminals and skulls to the gameplay. The mysterious title that started it all back in the good old year of 2001 when I was but a young lad then playing at a friend's house. Should also mention that the games have all moved towards a cross-game control scheme that keeps it relatively simple with only minor changes between the games. So for this purpose it will be broken down by game to go over changes of editions and then the usual columns below towards that final score at the bottom which you could skip right to I suppose. This will also be the most in-depth review I have ever done as I've never encountered so many titles on one particular collection and of course since it's Halo, a true love of mine. I was a tad disappointed I wasn't able to check that all out early, though I'll cover it once it has all released. Finally you get access to the future Halo 5: Guardians Beta happening in December 2014 and Halo: Nightfall which is an episodic movie shown over time on the Halo Channel. On top of that you also get access to the entire library of multiplayer maps that count to well over a hundred with some Anniversary maps from Halo 2 that have been shined up as well. With this collection you will be getting the four primary Halo games that star the Master Chief and they're all shining quite better than they ever have before. If not I'm going to go over it as I have to anyways. I'm sure at this point you're more than well aware of The Master Chief Collection and what exactly it contains.

Speed and accuracy in the other standard OCR tests was much better. However, results can be improved by avoiding retracing and broken characters, and by not creating open loops in letters that should be closed. In our tests, the accuracy rate was only around 85 percent. Readiris Pro 10 is an excellent application, but its recognition of hand-written material is disappointing - especially considering the company’s bold claims. There’s also a new interval scanning mode that lets you define the right timespan between two scans so you can comfortably place a new page on your scanner this is great for scanning books or other bulky material on a flatbed scanner.

When it comes to inputting and recognising a document, you can select how you want the result to appear in your new document: continuous running text retaining words and paragraphs (font type, size and typestyle are maintained across the recognition, plus tabs and alignment) or a facsimile of the original document, with text blocks, tables, graphics, bulleted and number lists recreated in the same place. And four types of PDF output are now available: image over text, text over image, text or image only. Other key improvements include support for Microsoft's new WordML format, allowing you to generate richer editing and formatting documents compared to regular RTF. Hand-printing recognition is limited to numerals, uppercase and separated letters (AZ) and some punctuation symbols (comma, dot and hyphen). The software can now recognise hand-printed text - a unique feature based on the company’s ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) engine.
