Daily Grind (Jan 23 2008)

No news on the recently donated router (see yesterday's post). Basically we're in a holding pattern waiting to get the OS updated on the thing (currently running CatOS - needs to run IOS) and then configuration should be straightforward. There are some growing pains on having server bane be the single point of workunit download. I just tweaked the apache config to lessen the load. It's funny how seemingly unimportant differences in CPU/memory type/amount/speed from one server to the next require radically different settings in httpd.conf or else the whole thing grinds to a halt. Anyway, expect some download pains as knobs get turned and we slowly recover from running low on ready-to-send work.

Due to the recent long weekend we had the weekly outage today instead of yesterday. All went well with that, and my recently mentioned fixes to speed things up worked well. During all that I finally finished the last parts of the disk usage shell game so our workunit storage (on the Snap Appliance) is up to its maximum size of 2.5TB, of which we're currently occupying 50% - that will last us a while. As well, we are pretty much ready to start OS upgrades on the science database servers next week.
