As of last night (as promised) 95% of the network is back. Almost everything fits in the 42U Compaq rack on wheels that I donated. It’s over in the back corner behind the pallet racks over by the dirty room now.
Internet is UP
FaStor is UP
Schizo is UP
Hubuntu is UP
MonStor is DOWN
I still have to distribute load among the UPSes better. It might be nice ™ to replace our UPS conglomeration with a single big mofo, but we can deal with that later. The servers are on a dedicated circuit, which should be good enough for now.
MonStor however lived up to its name. I couldn’t remember how I got it to boot off a USB stick previously (some weird bios settings?) I got angry and ordered a MSA20 to use as a 16 bay disk shelf. spent about $100 total between the MSA20 and cabling.
Yeah, hubuntu was offline when we left last night. Jon tried to ping it, and I was checking for webcam uploads. Then I think something shiny caught my attention and I wandered away. We can pummel it a bit further after the meeting.
I have an IP KVM with a dead power supply, probably quite repairable. I’ll try to dig it up, and maybe some SIP pods. I’d need a count on USB vs PS/2 sips.
OOOOOHHHH please oh please! I was going to twitch and buy one on ebay (like I just did with the MSA20… Sigh.)
Almost all of our servers are PS2. All the ones in the rack (5) are. The 3 that Ian is working on I’m not 100% sure about. They’re newer, might be more USBish.
