Call us! R Associates Inc (RAI) provides support and maintenance services and more for Linux Networx (LNXI) and SGI clusters and visualization systems. Senior engineers from Linux Networx and SGI, who are now employed by RAI, can administer and maintain your systems to full production standards, provide hardware and software upgrades to leverage the full value of your investment, as well as plan the orderly transition of your applications to a new RAI cluster.

[CELS Sysadmins] misplaced memory

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 John Roberts and I replaced the motherboard on a Dell desktop in the buildspace a few weeks back and ended up leaving a couple 1GB DD2 sticks of ram on one of the build areas. We planned on using those when a second replacement board arrived. Now that it has, those 2 sticks seem to have walked off. Anyone seen them?

[CELS Sysadmins] St. Patty's Day party, 3/14
by Craig Stacey 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Alas, I know this conflicts with another MCS party, but we'd committed to this date some time back, and there isn't another time we can do it within reason. So we totally understand if you can't make it. That being said: http://stace.com/party (Warning, leprechaun!) The Saturday before St. Patrick's Day, come to our place, drink, and be festive. On St. Patty's day we're all Irish! Guests welcome. Here are the important details: * Saturday, March 14, 7:00 PM * 7317 W 58th Pl, Summit, IL (There are three houses that look alike, ours is the middle one) We'll provide a hearty selection of beers (taps will be Guinness, the premiere of my first homebrew if it's worth drinking, and another yet to be determined), hot and cold hors d'oeuvres and other types of snacks, plus non-alcoholic beverages. There'll be the usual activities (pool, Wii, Rock Band, darts, Australian-rules full-contact Scrabble®). Bring an instrument along if you feel like playing. We've got two guitars (one acoustic, one electric), two bodhrans, a piano, and a violin. We'll have some Guinness shwag to distribute as door prizes, too! RSVP by March 12th. You know how to reach us. Hope to see you there.

[CELS Sysadmins] SSF Underfloor cable trays
by Craig Stacey 12 Feb '09

12 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Fellow sysadmins, I'm working on the SSF cable tray layouts, and my very first pass is at http://mcs.anl.gov/~stace/SSF-Cable-Trays.pdf. The top/western half of the room is not complete, I'm awaiting data on existing BlueGene layouts for that, but for the lower/eastern half of the room we're looking at a traditional hot/cold aisle layout with the trays running along the hot aisles. The hot aisles are 2 tiles wide, with the trays running under one of those tile rows. Any gotchas from the ISSF to share? Opinions welcome and encouraged, but let's try to stay within the bounds of reality. Those of you with fantasies about rolling carts under there please remember the floor will have a power grid. I expect these trays to be much like what's in the non-BlueGene part of ISSF (mesh basket trays), including their depth under the floor. The trust is in a hurry for this. I'd like to have this off to them before I go to bed tonight, since I disappear until next Wednesday tomorrow. == Craig -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkmTFaQACgkQbVNGA3HOzQv8JQCfb9JPUV7gt5JC03S4/Ls+Sy7M FwMAnRvyjugI3biy0t8oaeh2JNlyPoEw =uDoy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ This is the CELS Sysadmins mailing list.
