Syscom Todo

These are things that syscom should do eventually:

Timeline

Get Mac Minis: Week of May 1

Get Intel Nucs: At least August but tentative

Get Rack Server: May

Get Netapp: Late May but tentative

Server Room Trip: May

General

• Prepare for `sodium-benzoate` decom.
  • Need to find the physical server
  • Give to CSCF for decom
• `/users` backups
• Disaster recovery plan
• Find out status of backup mirror
• Get an IP/KVM for the machine room which doesn't suck?
• Clean up wiki vandalism
• Centralized repo for various configs: NFS, PAM auth with kerb, LDAP and Kerb5, routing/interfaces files
  • Private subnet routing is broken on every machine except corn-syrup, taurine (see 'ethcrazy')

Wiki Updates

• Update the following wiki pages
  • Backups
  • Ceo, also related to "debian.csclub is broken"
  • somehow merge Conserver/Serial Connections/Console Configuration
  • Cscbot
  • DNS
  • Hardware
  • Machine List
  • Mirror including that rsyncd needs to be re-started after reboot. (systemctl start rsync)
  • Music and possibly link to Pulseaudio
  • MySQL mentions a-f replica
  • NFS/Kerberos should probably by merged with an existing page
  • NetApp
  • Netboot (might want to merge with New CSC Machine)
  • OID Assignment and UID/GID Assignment should be merged with LDAP and replaced with a redirect
  • Merge Point Of Sale and Point of Sale System
  • Projects
  • Scratch
  • Add more info to Switches
  • Virtualization
  • Wireless
• Reorganize in general. Separate Machine/System Documentation section into multiple sections.
  • Idea: One part for members/users, one part for office admin stuff, one part for Linux machines admin stuff, one part for CloudStack

When in the Machine Room

• Make sure that the console connections are correct, up-to-date, and working.
• Decom aspartame
• Label bays / server backs
• Take pictures of cables
• Move alpha server to office
• Install new graphics card
