I thought as a sort of semester wrap-up, I’d post the current status of my projects and my plans/to-do list.

Current Status:

• The production blades seem to be up and running stably with the bugs worked out.
• Animal disk I/O is still running slowly.
• Righteous seems to still be stable.
• The wiki seems to have everything worked out except for some last few policy decisions.

Future Plans/To-do list:

• Increase size of the cluster image
• Troubleshoot Animal’s disk I/O issues
• Roll out the ldap image
• Start work on a Google Android project
• Refine documentation (e.g. AoE Setup Process, add ip/mac/distro to vm template)
• Clean up scripts on Righteous and Animal (specifically with regards to Error Checking + Validation)

I thought I’d make some notes of some things I’ve changed/done over the past day or so before I forget to write them down somewhere.

• Removing the network udev rule on several virtual machines (cluster, time, xen) experiencing networking issues
• Updating the sudoers file on the primary machines (righteous, animal, hydrogen, helium, lithium) (no changes to people, just to options, such as enabling logging)
• Updating the banner text on hydrogen, helium, and lithium ( smslant font, http://network-science.de/ascii/)
• Updated the wiki creation how-to
• Recreated comm as a fresh (64 bit) image
• Created an image for ldap
• Created an image for zimbra
