-- This is a recap note for yesterday and is post-dated
--� Morning started slow with a BTI meeting, but my afternoon schedule was quadruple booked.� I had :
- my '1-1 meeting' ; EMC Lunch; EMC Presentation ; PAM/LDAP Meeting ; Communications ; DMX Migration Test ; Blackbird ; and IWS R3 Perftest
all scheduled from 1pm - 5pm.� I knew there wasn't any way I was going to do all that from home so I packed up and left for the office at about 10:30 and arrived onsite at 11:35.�
-- Highlight notes:
- Communications issue with Fick.� He keeps getting prompted for authentication on Pan and Athena.� After looking at the problem I decided to do two things:
- Abandon the Redmond Washington authentication system completely.� It's old, it's outdated, and it's needed to be decommissioned for a while now.� From now on we're going to use Athens Georgia or Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, with a preference for Georgia.
- Re-arrange the nsswitch search order for authentication to: winbind ldap files
� After the changes were made and the perfunctory 10 minute propagation period, all was well.� Sent this info to Dustin in ST.
-- IWS Perf test showed Thyme LM 215 tank again.� I don't know what they expect, it's lab mangler and they're beating the piss out of it.� Wonky code made it start swapping even with 3gb of ram and I have to do charts and diagrams today if I can find time.
-- ROOT PASSWORD in Dev has been changed.�
-- DMX Migration test was a fucking nightmare.� Slick and I stayed until 7PM straightening it out.
� -� Hook up SAN to okoboji and change the HBA firmware, but on boot we get unable to load an aicXXXX driver and a kernel panic.� Slick has screenshots from Raritan.� We're going to talk with Thug, KennyB, and Otter to get clarification on the HBA documentation we have.� Then we're going to try the cut over again (the copy may have gotten fucko), and if all else fails, we're calling for Vendor support.
-- Kibbles N' Bits needs an admin ID.
-- Squirrelface doesn't know how to change user pw's on apollo.�
-- Grandpa Simpson totally fucked his workstation VM install by copying RHEL3 binaries to a RHEL5 system.� He's going to have to rebuild.
-- There is an issue with mail on Killian & Guiness in LM
To be continued.
