Kaiparowits (Jan 13 2009)

Typical weekly outage (for database cleanup/backup). During so Jeff and I did some more server closet reconfiguration - we consolidated all the Overload Storage stuff (servers gowron and worf, and their combined 16 TB of raw storage) into one rack, along with our router (that connects us to our private ISP separate from campus). This gave us enough room to (finally) add another UPS to the fold - which is good as older ones have been complaining/dying. Our UPS situation is far from optimal, but we're working with what we got. We also (finally) got server clarke into the closet, which will act as a much-needed build/compute server, among other things.

Steady progress is being made on both NTPCkr and radar blanking fronts - in fact I should working on the latter. Tomorrow I may tackle the RAID re-configuration project on our secondary science server, which may vastly reduce i/o and therefore increase NTPCkr throughput.

The ap-validate indicates "Not Running" on the server status page. Does this mean that AP are not being validated?

It was at this status before the shutdown also.

Glad you managed to get a lot done today and hopefully from your point things are progressing well.
