Down and Up (Sep 09 2008)

Tuesday means down time. Same drill that happens every week: projects go down for a few hours, mysql databases are washed, dried, and neatly folded, and then we're back on line sometime in the afternoon (Pacific Time). Some people don't like the scheduling of these outages, but as it happens NERSC (where we archive all our raw data off site) has their weekly maintenance outage at the exact same time. Something about Tuesday morning that makes it particularly good for maintenance downtime: it's not Monday, when we're catching up on weekend issues, but it's still early enough in the week to recover from potential problems should any arise.

We tackled several other projects during the outage, as we always try to do. We upgraded the OS on sidious (mysql replica db server), which was long overdue. There's lots of configuration involved, but with extra care the software RAID partitions containing the database survived the ordeal. We also tested some 750GB drives in one storage server - we're still trying to figure out what we have and what we can use given our current storage needs (for workunits, results, or less interesting but equally important things kept on the NAS box which will soon disappear). I also finished getting a new desktop installed - replacing the old clunker which had been our "mass mail" server (for reminder e-mails and such). I'll wait before the current smoke has cleared before telling people to "please come back."

There are always other work items too confusing to mention here. In fact I avoid a lot of happenings/details in these glib tech news posts as it will only raise more questions which I don't have the time to answer. Sometimes I'm cagey with my responses for political reasons - occasionally we have commercial vendors/anonymous donators/grant administrators involved in our decision making processes, occasionally I don't want to perpetuate the false impression I call the shots around here (I just work here - and post a lot because I happen to suffer from hypergraphia). I understand this vagueness is to the detriment of those who have a generally good understanding of the big picture and are keen to guess what our motivations and needs are, but without key bits of information people sometimes end up being a tad off base. Nevertheless it is amazing to me how much people glean from the scant amount of public relations material we barely manage to squeak out.
