[CELS Sysadmins] End of year holiday beer thing
by Stacey, Craig 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Either Tuesday or Wednesday the week we get off for the break (Dec 22 or 23) I want to bug out early (like 3ish) and buy everyone a round or two somewhere. If it’s on the Wednesday, I’ll suggest Miskatonic Brewing since it’s (A) good, and (B) close. http://miskatonicbrewing.com/ Anyway, let me know if you have a preference, otherwise I’ll default to the 23rd. Oh, and we should do that white elephant gift exchange thing – that’s always fun. -- Craig

[CELS Sysadmins] FW: PLEASE READ B240 Electrical Maintenance 11/16
by Stacey, Craig 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

I just got word this has not been postponed. (I don’t know why they can’t make up their minds on this — I was in the meeting yesterday where we were told “There’s no way this will be ready to go on Monday”.) Expect another note from Fred. As noted, we shouldn’t notice anything. But if we do, that’s why. -- Craig From: <240-datacenter-wg-bounces(a)lists.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of "Bathje, Frederick M." <fbathje(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, November 12, 2015 at 4:52 PM To: "'240-datacenter-ops(a)anl.gov<mailto:'240-datacenter-ops(a)anl.gov>'" <240-datacenter-ops(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>>, "240-datacenter-wg(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>" <240-datacenter-wg(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: "Vargas, Rene" <rvargas(a)kennedywilson.com<mailto:[email protected]>>, "pbaldwin(a)kennedywilson.com<mailto:[email protected]>" <pbaldwin(a)kennedywilson.com<mailto:[email protected]>>, "Weiner, Michael S." <mike.weiner(a)ableserve.com<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: RE: PLEASE READ B240 Electrical Maintenance 11/16 This work has been postponed and will not take place on 11/16.

During this work they will switch between the 2 main electrical feeds. They do not expect any power interruptions during the testing. However, if an interruption were to occur, power to the entire building and data center could be interrupted. Thanks, Fred

[CELS Sysadmins] Physical moves are done
by Stacey, Craig 13 Nov '15

All that’s left is plugging things back in. Ken, if you can help us get things plugged back in, you should be able to have the systems up fairly soon. CELS sysadmins, the recabling isn’t more than a two person job, so the combination of Ken, John, and I can handle that. However, there’s still some cleanup to happen in there like door panels for racks need transport to the back of the room, and the PADS racks need moving as well (though not critical to happen today, they’re ready to roll), so any and all help is welcome. -- Craig

Re: [CELS Sysadmins] TRACC, Radix/Breadboard/PADS/kBT move this week
by Stacey, Craig 12 Nov '15

Okay, here’s the steps that need doing. We’ll do what we can this afternoon and tomorrow, but if you can help with any of this, the chances of success go up. * Roll racks AP49 - AM49 (northernmost three racks) out of the way (decabling, etc) * Move Juniper from AO44 to AR44. * Roll racks AR44 and AN44 over to row 49 and hook them up. Before the next move, we need to relocate bbsto08 to AR49. -- Craig On 11/12/15, 2:33 PM, "Kenneth Raffenetti" <raffenet(a)mcs.anl.gov> wrote: >Okay.
