- Clean up 202
- Figure out what's worth keeping
- Figure out what doesn't belong here
- Make and install power supply mount for taro
- Consolodate backups to get a drive for gourd
- Label hard disks
- Repair local network connection on Gourd.
- Repair LDAP on Gourd (probably caused by net connection).
- Replace failed drive in Gourd - 250gb sata
- Documentation for networking - we have no idea which config files are actually doing anything on some machines.
- Take a look at spamassassin - Improve Performance of this if possible.
- Test unknown equipment:
- Power supplies
- UPS
- Fans
- Network cables
- Figure out why parity, gourd, jalapeno, and pauli haven't been reporting to rhn.
- Look into monitorring that is already installed: RAIDs etc.
- Look into Red Hat Enterprise Level 5, the latest version. Update Tomato to RHEL5 and check all services einstein currently provides. Then switch einstein <-> tomato, and then upgrade what was originally einstein. Look into making an einstein, tomato failsafe setup.
- "blackbody" is Currently offline, due to issues getting GRUB to boot anything. If the issue isn't understood/fixed soon, it would probably be more convenient to use a Windows CD to fix the MBR, so that Windows can boot and be backed up, then just put Fedora on the whole thing.
- Get on NPG mailing list
Completed Tasks
- Get ahold of a multimeter so we can test supplies and cables. Got a tiny portable one.
- Order new power supply for Taro Ordered from Newegg 5/24/2007
- Weed out unneccesary cables, we don't need a full box of ata33 and another of ata66. Consolodated to one box
- Installed new power supply for Taro.
- Get printer (Myriad) working.
- Set up skype.
- Fix sound on improv so we can use skype and music. sound was set to alsa, setting to OSS fixed it. should have worked either way though.
- Check out 250gb sata drive found in old maxtor box. Clicks/buzzes when powered up.
- Look into upgrades/patches for all our systems. Scheduled critical updates to be applied to all machines but einstein. If they don't break the other machines, like they didn't break the first few, I'll apply them to einstein too.
- Started download of fedora 7 for the black computer. 520KB/s downstream? Wow.
- Get Pauli computers up. I think they're up. They're plugged in and networked.
- Find out what the black computer's name is! We called it blackbody.
