RainDrop Laboratories Status

Agora seems to have mostly stabilized, and with the weather looking bad for travelling, I’m working getting things moved to the virtual machines instead of moving the actual hardware, as that’s the real end goal. I’m still limited by the memory in the vmhost, but if I can get things built, it will be a big step forward…

I’m starting by getting /home moved to the vmhost machine, where it will become an nfs mount (i.e. it can be shared between machines), and getting incoming mail setup on vmail.rdrop.com.

I suspect a power outage to the rack, as it was maxed out when I installed it. That issue is being worked on, but people are in the process of bringing things back up…

Update: Yup, it was power in the rack and will be addressed tomorrow.  Agora is having hardware issues aggravating things (and probably causing the crashes this weekend), and will be moved into new hardware this weekend.  Hopefully it won’t force me to do so sooner!

Saturday afternoon, Jan 12, 2008, the Raindrop equipment will be moved into a more accessible rack and the memory in the virtual machine server will be upgraded to accomodate more vm’s.  Everything should be back up by late afternoon or early evening.
