Can someone kick variant on vserver7? If there is memory available on vserver7 - add some. We need to split it up into multiple VMs... Monday. ---- Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics & Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory 630-252-0055

Tomorrow, I need to have Cindy at the hospital at 8:30 am to talk to the Oncology Dept about treatment appts. Then she has a 10:00 appt at the Endocrinologist to get her diabetes under control. I hope to be in the office in the afternoon. T.

We should rebuild this closer using a proper name, and configure the GPFS settings to support a login environment, and test if possible. Eventually, everything will transition to having the mira lions being a part of this cluster, but I'd like to get the foundation for all of that setup before we need to do 45 things at once.

MCS Server Jack
by Hunter Matthews 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

All, I've disabled and put safety tape on the server jack - two of the pins holding the server arms were mangled beyond recognition. I've taken the other two pins with me to get matching replacements. Obviously, please don't attempt to use the jack until its properly re-assembled. -- Hunter Matthews Unix Administrator Office: Bldg 240 Room 2139 Argonne National Labs, MCS Key: F0F88438 / FFB5 34C0 B350 99A4 BB02 9779 A5DB 8B09 F0F8 8438 Never take candy from strangers.
