[CELS Sysadmins] Beer suggestions
by Craig Stacey 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

I'm partial to either Bavarian Lodge, who are tapping a firkin of a wonderful smoked German lager tonight, or Rock Bottom who last night tapped a Barleywine from Tim Marshall (former Rockbottom brewmaster, current brewer for opening-soon-Naperville-brewery Solemn Oath). -- Craig _______________________________________________ This is the CELS Sysadmins mailing list.

Webcam on top of MCS racks
by Dan Olson 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Adam Scovel asked me why there was a webcam pointed at where he was working in the datacenter, pointing to one on top of the mcs racks. I told him I didn't know why that was there, thinking he (ALCF) should know why there is a camera pointed at their gear. Do we know why that camera is in the datacenter? Can we put a note by it stating its purpose? ---- Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics & Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory 630-252-0055

Requests for large VMs.
by Craig Stacey 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

So far today, two MCS researchers have requested sizable VM instances from the CI. Krishna asked for 8 cores, 16GB memory, 500GB disk capacity for a hardware simulator out of LBNL. Boyana asked for 8 cores, 8GB memory, 250GB disk capacity for a web server she wants to run. Two of those would consume a single VM server of ours at the CI. Has anyone got any ideas on how we might handle this? Is Breadboard or Magellan in any way useful for these? Do we have something suitable we can stand up on our VM servers? -- Craig
