= System setup =
Currently, what we know are the uses for the three machines we will base our infrastructure on. We also know our Abulafia machine configuration, and Justin Leitgeb's to-be-donated server configuration. What we need to come up with, is the ideal setup for the third machine that we will have to buy. So, the machine configurations and intended uses follow:		 This page collects information on the hardware that we have installed or plan to install as part of HCoop infrastructure.

 * Extra: RAID kit, with battery, etc., 256 MB RAID cache, 2 power supplies

 * Processor: Dual AMD 248
 * RAM: 2 GB RAM
 * Disks: 2 x 73 RAID 1 SCSI
 * Extra: Should be 1U. Goal is to make it processor intensive, and only disk-heavy enough to ensure a high level of uptime. Other considerations such as a preference for AMD and the vendor Penguin Computing that have been expressed on the list and in meetings should be followed here.

 . The model that I like best for this machine of the previous configurations is the Penguin Altus 1400. It is a 1U machine with hardware SCSI RAID listing for $3463 [http://www.hcoop.net/~leitgebj/hcoop_servers/penguin_web_server.ps (postscript)] [http://www.hcoop.net/~leitgebj/hcoop_servers/penguin_web_server.pdf (PDF)][[BR]]
 We could go with SATA, but I would only do this if we can do it with hot-swappable disks in a 1U case. I suppose that SATA could be a better choice even if it isn't hot-swappable once we get a cluster of web servers... maybe we can get SATA now and live with the consequences until we reach this point. Ideas?[[BR]] I think that we should also negotiate with Penguin on the phone over this configuration.
== Switch ==
We are proceeding under the assumption that we'll use ShaunEmpie's donation (see HardwareDonations), a Nortel (Baystack) 380 switch. He says:		 '''Use: secondary DNS on a different subnet, all tasks requiring remote location.'''

VLAN Configuration Proposal: == busted ==
Line 40: Line 24:
{{{
With our new setup, I think it would be best to setup a few different
VLANs for different uses. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the term, a
VLAN is a virtual lan. It allows you to have completely separate networks
on the same switch. This will allow us to setup a private network that
the public and peer1 would have no access to. This could be handy for
database systems, NAS, backup servers, etc which you'd want to keep off
the public network.
Proposed Configuration:
VLAN 1. Management VLAN - not used for normal traffic
VLAN 10. Public VLAN - public/Peer1's network
VLAN 20. Private VLAN - private subnet for inter-server traffic
For a starting point i think having ports 1-12 in VLAN 10 and ports 13-24
in VLAN 20 would be best. The VLAN membership of a port can be changed
easily so these would not be set in stone.
The switch allows for many more VLANs than we'll ever need so if anyone
has a suggestion or need for another VLAN it would be trivial to setup.
Any questions/comments, let me know.
