it's a dyslexic IPMI card.

<grin> Hate it when that happens.

monday 22090928 looks okay to me at this point. probably after 6 PM, yes? i think it'll be good to take a trip to the servepath colo in advance of The Move, so's to scout it out and ensure that we actually can get in (security clearance, etc.). The Move will include bring down the host, install the IPMI cable, take the thing to servepath, put the machine in the rack, change the IP address to use those that servepath provides rather than those SFCCP provides.

please let's verify the date asap so i can start getting the servepath access act together (normally only three persons max are permitted access; if more will participate, i'll need to get permission).

thank you, michael. jim 415 823 4590 my cellphone, call anytime

How about the evening of 2009-09-28 for at least that BALUG host move? We can work out timing details between now and then, and what we are/aren't going to do at that time.

Should also allow me(/us) sufficient time for planning, any needed pre-move backups, etc.

Just to clarify, BALUG uses several systems (with different bits of interdependency) ... theoretically we get to a quite redundant infrastructure at some point - but we're definitely not there yet.

Various BALUG systems (in whole, shared, and/or virtual):

DNS: David Sifry

Dreamhost hosted services (BALUG: active and legacy production)

Jim's tower (sf-lug.com - shared with BALUG) (BALUG: active production but no realtime production dependencies)

Silicon Mechanics (donated to SF-LUG, shared (Xen VM) by BALUG) (BALUG: some production but no realtime production dependencies)

Untangle VM - BALUG VM is MIA as of about a month ago (I need to follow-up with Untangle on that) - BALUG: no realtime production dependencies currently

i've finally got a ribbon cable/connector for the PCMI card, so let's move the 1U machine that's hosting the balug web site from the sfccp location to the servepath location. i've been paying for the slot, which is supposed to be used by the systemateka.com machine; i've got to get that machine in. seems to me we should make a trip to the servepath colo and see where's the existing machine and where we'll put the 1U, then at another time (soon after) go to the sfccp colo (at 200 Paul) and take the 1U out, install the PCMI cable, and take it to the servepath colo (don't forget to reconfig the NICs for the servepath IPs rather than the sfccp IPs). at that time i'll reclaim my tower machine that's been at the servepath colo and bring it home, where i'll make it available, via ssh, to the internet. jim 415 823 4590 my cellphone, call anytime
