Hi all
I'm happy to let you know that new hardware has been ordered by Wikimedia
Deutschland and will arrive probably in about two weeks. We will get two new
systems:
* A more powerful web server, to replace hemlock: Sun Fire X4150, 2x Quad-Core
Xeon, 8GB RAM, 2x73GB SAS HDD. The current web server only has two cores.
* Another database server, to be used for S1 (english wikipedia), so S1 and S3
no longer have to share a server: Sun Fire X4250, 2x Quad-Core Xeon, 32GB RAM,
16x146GB SAS RAID.
This should improve performance and give us some head space for growth. Once the
new servers arrive, S3 will be re-imported too, so we will have live data again.
Any ideas for names? To stay with the nightshade theme, how about Jurubeba and
Erubia? Or perhaps we go the "witches' weed" way, with Datura and Mandrake?
Henbane is taken, i think. Amanita sounds nice, too :)
A third server has been ordered, which will also be installed in Amsterdam, but
will not be part of the toolserver cluster. It's a storage server (X4540, 24TB
RAID) that will keep a live backup of all media files.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
Anyone who has OSM tools running on cassini should now start moving them
to the normal Toolserver and accessing the database and renderd on
sql-mapnik (ptolemy). We will be repurposing cassini once all tools
have moved.

Hi,
We are about to enable fast servers for s3/s4/s6 (on hyacinth) and s2/s5
(on yarrow). These work the same as the fast servers for s1; just
connect to sql-sX-fast, or XXwiki-p.fastdb.toolserver.org to use them.
This will also provide redundant access to the wiki databases (but not
user databases) when the primary database is offline.

Hi,
In a few hours we will upgrade MySQL on the database servers. This will
require about 15 minutes downtime while the server restarts.

Hi,
We have renewed the SSL certificate used for *.toolserver.org (JIRA,
Subversion, etc). The new certificate fingerprint is:
SHA-1: 21:45:F5:7A:78:50:A2:7B:7F:D8:04:FF:77:1D:86:35:A4:1D:FB:99
SHA-256: 43:3A:64:50:43:CD:5C:CA:93:A0:2C:37:A3:5A:3C:8E:E8:A5:E6:66:52:8F:3B:5A:63:2C:54:6A:F9:14:66:8F
https://fingerprints.toolserver.org has been updated with the new key.

Hi,
Java on the Solaris systems will shortly be upgraded from 1.6.0_18
(6u18) to 1.6.0_10 (6u19). This should have no impact on users.
We have now decommissioned Confluence (confluence.toolserver.org), as
the content there has now been migrated to the Toolserver wiki
(wiki.toolserver.org).

Hi,
We will shortly be removing Perl 5.8 (/opt/ts/perl/5.8) from the Solaris
login servers, willow and wolfsbane. Since Perl 5.10 has always been
available as the default version, there should be nothing actually using
5.8.
Perl 5.10.1 is available in /opt/ts/perl/5.10, and is the default
/usr/bin/perl.

Hi,
It seems that after the move of these cluster to cassia, the restore of
hyacinth's user databases from backup did not work for everyone, leaving
some user databases empty. We will be re-running the import for empty
databases; however, if your database contains any tables, we will not
re-import it (to avoid overwriting new data).
