8:15 - Ass crack of dawn.� Happy Monday.� Matt T. IM about PFF prod stand up.� Told him I've moved anhinga and blackbird over to sparta.� I need time to do the app installs in Prod.� I need time to adjust the disk mount (made a note about this a few days ago) from /opt to /apps.� No biggie.� Getting the documentum app installed will be a little tricker since I've only done it twice.� I do have notes though, should make it a little easier.� Will need assistance from Pooh Bear to make sure I can talk with the database on minotaur.
8:30 Becky called. - genseed portal gold.� add portal admin accts to gold image?� it'll make deployments easier in the long run.� Force them to use sudo or add them to was group?� It's a pain to sudo, but if they start it as the WAS processes as regular users things get fucko.� Agree to make them sudo.
9:10 - Jerry finally returned my calls regarding BTI.� She reiterated that the doc I sent on Friday seemed to be fine.� She asked Ashy if he needed anything else, to let her know.� She'll pass whatever she gets on to me and I can respond accordingly, but isn't expecting anything.
-- Skipper probably won't be hired on full time.� Looks like they picked up a St. Bernard instead.� Wonder how long Skipper will be with us now?� Don't know.� He scheduled a meeting for the 23rd on Asset Management installation.
-- Slick wants me onsite Tues for our ESX meeting.� I guess I can do that.� I asked if I could show up around 10, he says meating is 11-1, over lunch, so as long as I'm in for food and meeting, that's all good.� I figure I'll leave home around 9ish and get to Skittsdale around 9:45-10amish.�
9:15 Mac is out for the day.� He's been fucking around with the prdvrt systems all weekend.� He says : "volumes are still copying but I can copy only one at a time.� Something in this system sends aborts to the mirroring process.� Please let me know if anyone has thoughts about what.� The VxVM mirroring technique for copying data has been stable on earlier versions of Solaris, ealier and less power full systems, switches and arrays."� It's Solaris 7 Mac.� What do you expect besides fucko behavior?
9:30� - Mr. T.� added a 6gb disk at SCSI 2 on delphi (LM .2).� Could you destroy the existing /u01 (2gb slice of SCSI1) and create a new one using the 6gb disk?
Sure.� But I have to save this and reboot my laptop first.� fucko monitor situation.� Check with Oliver on ticket for LT exchange!
10:09 Rebooted laptop.� Right monitor is still clipping and tripping.� Not as bad as it was though.� I really need to check on the status of that replacement ticket.
logged into delphi and umounted /u01.� fdisk on /dev/sdc, lay down a new primary partition, write the table and partprobe it.� mkfs.ext3 then edit fstab to auto mount on boot.� mounting it up to /u01, no problem.� Send Pooh & Mr. T. note to let them know its done.
--� Russ says VPN will be down from 1-6AM on the 28th.� No biggie.� Saturday Morning.

-- Went outside for a few minutes.� Been inside most of the weekend.� it's 100 degrees outside and the heat feels great.� I think I was chilled to the bone.
10:22 - Stewie Griffin needs to run emcgrabs against SAN attached servers.� His list looks to be comprehensive.� He's got all the portal Sun DB boxes on here.� I hope he's doing them after hours.� Sent OK to proceed.
� -- He also wants to research Mac's issue from the weekend.� Sounds like a good idea but I'll let him work that out with Mac & Curious.
-- I need to get some food, it's almost 11.� Today I have to work on getting the tickets opened for the SAN add to pine and get to the bottom of their NAS-Head.� Why the hell do they want a nas head?� I still haven't figured that out.
�11:30 Becky - outbound email working on 183?� Probably not.
Get into genseed 183, sendmail not running, can't telnet to 25.� Check packages, sendmail & sendmail-cf are installed, just not configured.� Copy mc from pan and edit to alter mailer signature.� m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf, m4 sendmail.mc > submit.cf.� restart sendmail and chkconfig on while I'm at it.� Telnet localhost 25 to test mail manually, dies on domain.� Have to edit /etc/mail/access to add the hosts.� again.� didn't I just do this 2 days ago?� lol.

12:34 - email from Pooh Bear.� Need to upgrade bash on delphi to 2.05?� Thinks we have v2.04 installed.� Apparently having issues running the Oracle installer?� Pooh says:
cause: GNU bash version 2.04 fails to recognize the runInstaller as a executable
Uh.� I don't think so Tim.
[root@delphi ~]# bash -version GNU bash, version 3.00.15(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Sending reply with this.� Whatever his problem is, he's going to have to take it up with Oracle.� We're running a compatible version of bash.
-- Jebus.� I'm half asleep.� I want to go take a hot shower to try to wake up but I know the second I get up from my desk, something will go apeshit.� I got a BTI meeting at 1:30, need to call santanna for that.� I can probably skip it, but Ashy will be there and he'll probably have something to say about the data I sent out last week.� I should attend.� Meetg runs till 2:30.� Sneaking in a quick shower so I can wake up.
1:07 -- HOT shower break!� 1:25 - that was awesome.�
1:30 -Called Santanna - no answer from Jerry.� Guess they don't need me on this call.� woot.
1:50 - Call from Jerry.� We may bag it, almost nobody showed up.� She offered to call Mr. T. and straighten out the issues with Ashy, but I asked her to just let it ride.� (Ashy was pissed at me over my response to his questions regarding CPUs on the ESX boxes.)
3:15 heading out to see Sofya.� Stewie Griffin says our named.log on our primary nameserver is eating up about 50% of /var.� I set up logrotate.conf to rotate that every 100M and to only keep 200M total.� Asked Gpa. Simpson to verify and asked Stewie to make those changes on all the NS machines as he sees fit.
