Noon: I can start updating again.  Someday I'll write about why I had to stop for so long.

- Dirty Girl & I will be moving into a new house this week.  Two move events, Friday-Sun, and then Monday the movers come to get the big/heavy stuff

*********

8AM - Must finish SuperSearch systems Edison & Tesla by Friday 8/28.

9AM - WAS Upgrade meating with Peter & the rest of the upgrade team.  They need both NWIE VM images set up by Friday also.

Since 10am this morning I've been working on ITP project, ME2:

- ITP ME2 servers are moved to Columbus

- Cuervo and I are re-ip'ing them and trying to get them to start up normally in the new network space.  Stuffer was being a total pain in the arse for a while but I think I have him on-board with the action items.

- must edit /etc/ldap.conf & /etc/openldap.conf to add line:

nns_initgroups_ignoreusers root,ldap,named,avahi,haldaemon,dbus,satellite

- edit /etc/modules.conf & remove reference to pcnet32

- edit /etc/fstab and remove 3 lines added by vmware

- After demter & hestia are done, the rest of the boxes should come up without issue

- Forgot to change /etc/resolv.conf.  Hestia can't resolve anyone so she's not letting us in.  but that shouldn't happen with the nss line.  hmm.

- chkconfig off rhnsd & osad?

*********

4:40PM - every one of these servers are fucked.  none of them can get on the network to talk with their LDAP host, so none of them will let anyone log in.  What a fucking nightmare.  I have to break into every one of these machines and fix the configurations.

All of them get host name changes

IP addresses changed

Resolvers/Search

LDAP hosts

VMWare Tools

Loghosts

NTP host

Mail Relays

Backup Clients

This has to happen or it won't come online.  If it won't come online, you can't log in.  :)

*********

9:10PM

- Mr. T said that the firewall rules were just finished and the network is shut off on these servers until the IPs are changed etc.  No wonder we couldn't even ping gateway.  It would have been nice to be informed of that bit of trivia.

- fuckers -

- We're going to call it a day and sleep a bit if we can.

- AM - must talk to Cole and get my access level bumped up so I can initiate tool installs without hand holding.

 - Have to get nets turned on and test accesses.

 - Get Cuervo the info that he needs to carry this on without me, or with Stuffer. 

- Dirty Girl & I are going to meet Nikita to give her the $$ and get the $K.

 - I'll meet Grandpa Simpson and trade my Mercedes for his Suburban for the weekend.  Dirty Girl takes Scooby to work, I bring Suburban back here and finish Oracle server build for WAS Project, and get UID's created on Edison & Tesla for Country Boy, Becky, and Kipper.

*******

Calling it a night, logging out of work.  Going to start tearing down the other computers and prepping them for the move.

    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. Hoppy - I.T. Security LDAP Squirrelface - I.T. Security Accts Woodchuck - I.T. Security Accts Russian Bride - Application Tester Trisha - Testing AVP Tequila - UNIX Admin OPS Chops - UNIX Admin OPS Mac - UNIX Engineer (Contractor, works with Tequila & Chops) Margie - SAN specialist (ch)InkPen - Backup Specialist Chimpy - OPS Mgr Duke - UNIX Lead even though he knows nothing about UNIX
