Is the commons database going to still be shared between s1 and s3? That may be a good use for one of those leftover servers...
X!

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.
