Hi,
Just a quick update on our latest hardware order:
We are soon getting a new
database server, a new place for the /home dir and, in effect, a second login
server (willow; stable projects will be moved to a virtual box). And on top of
that, we get the playground box for the openstreetmap folks.
What is the current location of /home? Hemlock? What is going to
happen to that server?
Also to which server will stable be moved?
Bryan
Yes, home is currently on hemlock. Hemlock, vandale and zedler will be idle when
the new systems have been integrated fully. We have not yet decided on what to
do with them. Some may be decommissioned (so save power and make room for new
servers), lent to OSM, dedicated to some special/stable tools, or we may keep
them as alternative login servers. Willow will then also be free for use as a
second login server. We will look into tools for workload management / grid
computing tools to make the most of having multiple login servers.
Stable will move to a virtual box/zone on the new server that will also host the
/home directory. It's currently causing next to no load, so virtualizing it
seems the right thing.
