08:30 - Dev Portal is down again.� I found the disk issues showing up again and these things boot off SAN.� It's a little weird that this would show up on this machine just prior to the cutover.� Slick reminded me that Texoma was the original target for our cutover test and then we switched at the last minute to mage.� That narrowed it down to the prep work for the DMX cutover.� The two servers that have had prepwork done are having issues, nothing else is.� We're trying to get Margie on the phone now.

09:15 - Still looking for Margie.� After we take care of this I'm going to migrate the Dev Pres stripe over to LDAP authentication against apollo.

-- I added a 2nd monitor (19") to my personal desktop this weekend.� Now my work area looks like a spaceship cockpit with 4 monitors and 2 keyboards.� I rule.

-- By the way, I want to note that on 7/3 the Developers were told to point their CVS repositories to the CVS VIP or risk the loss of CVS access when I decomm Frodo.� I also need to note that Kratos needs a disk space increase on the CVS slice or we're going to have a real problem when everyone moves over there.� My fucking hands are tied with all this ESX remediation though, I can't do anything to expand that disk until we allocate it for them all.� What a fucking nightmare.

- Do Clarity

�1:00 - We had Margie pull that LUN she added to texoma and rebooted.� FS was corrupt so we had to manually fsck.� A couple of fucked up inodes on the /var partition were attached to lost+found, but since its var, that's nothing critical.� We bounced the server & it appears to be back to normal.

- Most of the time eaten here was trying to locate Margie.

- Started the LDAP rollout on PAN.� Files updated, rebooting the server now to see how things go.� Hoppy & Hoops in ST group chat.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr.
