Fwd: [Datacenter] Safety violations in the B240-CORE data center
by Craig Stacey 22 May '12

22 May '12

I've heard back channel reports that this is someone in my group doing it. I've asked for further clarification. I certainly hope it isn't one of us, and honestly I doubt it is. If you know who's been doing this, please let me know -- I'd like to figure out why. -- Craig Begin forwarded message: > From: "Gobeyn, Rene L." <rgobeyn(a)anl.gov> > Subject: [Datacenter] Safety violations in the B240-CORE data center > Date: May 22, 2012 1:31:31 PM CDT > To: "datacenter(a)mcs.anl.gov" <datacenter(a)mcs.anl.gov> > > This is an announce-only list.

The caution tape is there as a visual reminder that the area beyond it is a designated work area; and as such, special precautions may be necessary beyond that point.

Which of these is the useful test server for RT and which one can go away? I'd like to free up some capacity on that hypervisor to give to the Userbase master. -- Ken Raffenetti Systems Administration Associate MCS Division - Argonne National Laboratory

Any interest in this? (Trivia: Univa was the company founded by the globus people.
