Becky is out sick today

Cartman is working from home.

First order of business today was to setup the satellite acct with sudo access throughout nonprod.

- Talked with Slick about the time issue and let him know apollo was 15sec off.

- WICK - Note from Ramstein that nfs mounts to fry were down.� Pulled up the wick docs (because apparently the ops team can't handle this simple task) and found out that it gets nfs mounts from eros, dionysus, poseidon, and atlas.�

- Stapho says basil & clover aren't allowing monitor to do anything.� no remote commands.� Logged into each machine and su to monitor.� Everything seems normal.

- Check logs and note that BOTH servers are logging as thyme (their clone master)

� Did Slick or I reboot these after changing their ID?� Neither of us remember.� Need to reboot them now to make sure.� They've been up 19 days (aug 5).

� Can't bounce, they're PROD already.� Jumpin' jesus on a pogo-stick.

- So I fixed the problem with WICK and sent a note about it.� Of course Pissy Wick Boy had to ask a bunch of pissy technical questions that he won't understand the answer to anyway, but he likes asking them.� Maybe he thinks it makes him seem smarter or something.

- Tequila doesn't have an admin ID to get into virtual center in madison or new york.� fecking feck.� I can't show him how to upgrade the kernels then.� I'm starting to have my doubts about that boy.

- We have to come up with a solution for LDAP and NFS /home shares SOONish.

- Sent Arnold the Pig some info from crow & petrel

- Skipper needs me to give Triscuit some sort of "evidence" that I shut off root access.� Requested clarification.� WTF kind of "evidence" do they want?

- Cheesedog's change got nixed for tonight so I'm not bouncing clover or basil.

    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.
