It was too long ago to remember what the specific name was that triggered the reaction, but I believe one cluster was named after characters from the X-Men comics, and another used Tolkien characters. There were others as well that I can't remember, but none were particularly controversial or objectionable, so far as I know.
- theBobMcCormick 17y agoYup. It's amazing how uptight some suits can get about cartoon names and other whimsical machine names. At my work I had some lab servers named after Pixar characters. I got seriously chewed out by one C-level exec about the inappropriateness of the hostname "elastigirl". :-( Even if you want "safe" sanitized names though, I can't understand why people create these elaborate multi-part naming conventions for servers. Seriously, if the hostname is harder to remember and type than the IP address, YOUR NAMING CONVENTION IS BROKEN!
