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.
