To keep everyone up to speed, this is a summary of the colo work
over the last few days:
* pliny and larousse are back, as well as two 4RU boxes (P3s) for testing
(sorry, i broke test1 and test2, so they need to be fixed when
jwales is at the colo, as does larousse on which the OS reinstall
wasn't finished).
* 5 new servers were installed yesterday and are running memtest, results
on monday (?)
* coronelli crashes on boot and is offline; moreri is offline for
unknown reasons.
(did someone put new RAM in coronelli? was it taken out afterwards? why
has it suddenly stopped working? find out in next week's episode..)
* after discussion with the colo people, we will have a gigE "soon"
(next week?).
this needs an SFP module for the switch which has/has not been ordered
(delete as appropriate). the existing "second uplink" was actually configured
on their end as a trunked port. no-one told us this. this would explain why it
didn't work. back to 100mbit for now. we can change our two /27s into a /26
but this has to be coordinated with both the colo and bomis or things will stop
working. this will give up the second /27's router IP as a usable address.
* many machines are now on the SCS, and most have console redirection;
* we have switch port assignment lists, but aaron will be recabling everything
next week anyway so they're useless.
