[CELS Sysadmins] userbase db

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, We're going to be retiring aha.mcs.anl.gov soon, and in the process we'll be splitting it's mysql databases between a "core" and "development" server to better protect systems services from server crashes. What this means is that userbase will be moving to a different hostname when we make this change. Now is the time to starting thinking about all the places where you read from userbase and how you can change the configs to point to the new location (coredb.mcs.anl.gov) I would like to go ahead with this next week, if possible. If you have any issues, please let me know. Otherwise, I will send out an outage announcement on Monday.

Re: cis221-a216 PROBLEM!
by Schmitz Corby 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Can someone take a look at the switch in the back of A216 (in the closet) and see if it has power and its cable is still plugged in? It has dropped off of the network and MCS-221sw shows its interface is down. Thanks. -corby On Jun 29, 2009, at 4:54 PM, Nagios on Watcher wrote: > ***** Nagios on watcher ***** > > Notification Type: PROBLEM > Host State: DOWN > Host: cis221-a216 > State: DOWN > Address: 10.140.132.14 > Info: CRITICAL - 10.140.132.14: rta nan, lost 100% > > Date/Time: Mon Jun 29 16:54:38 CDT 2009 > URL: https://watcher.mcs.anl.gov/mcs/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=cis2…

[CELS Sysadmins] Thanks! (Also, did you bring a black plate?)
by Craig Stacey 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Thanks to all who came to the party. It was big, loud, bacon was exploded, food was grilled, fireballs flared up, poker was played, people rocked out to Rock Band, the home brew (H1N1, the Tripel Formerly Known As Swine Flu) was fully consumed (five gallons!). A good night! In gathering up the carnage, I came across an octagonal black plate that belongs to someone, though I don't know who. I have it in my office with me today, let me know or come claim it if it's yours. Thanks, again! We'll do this again some time. == Craig _______________________________________________ This is the CELS Sysadmins mailing list.
