Alas dear Tertius! I knew him well
June 5, 2008 |
This week we’ll begin looking at the rebuild of the old data server into the new data server. Over the last few months we’ve migrated services to other boxes and in fact shut Tertius down earlier this week in hopes that no-one would notice, meaning we hadn’t missed anything. So far we’re OK. While I won’t be there since I’m at home with the kids, Fearless Leader has offered to bring the machine up on Ubuntu 8.04 and see if we can avoid using the hardware raid in favour of software raid with LVM.
Other notes:
- We should be on static IP by the weekend. Friday is The Day, with Kellie offering to come in and do the ceremonial typing of the IP. Go RouterGirl!
- We will soon be known not only as brunswickstreet.org and bsbc.nb.ca, but also as bsbc.ca .
- I believe that I will soon have directory services operational using secure LDAP. This will mean that we can centrally mange authentication.
- I believe our machine to support CD and DVD duplication services will be in by the weekend across the border in Maine. I’ll pick it up and we can oogle it next Thursday. Given the horsepower it’ll have we’ll look at it as our in-house media server as well.
