Hardware

This page collects information on the hardware that we have installed or plan to install as part of HCoop infrastructure.

Peer1

Current pictures of the actual Peer1 cabinet are at http://hcoop.net/~rkd/hcoop/imgs/, taken during http://wiki.hcoop.net/OnSiteVisits/20090821.

deleuze

Use: fileserver, database server, email server, host for all services that don't involve dynamic content provided by non-admins.

mire

Use: dynamic web content, services that involve running arbitrary code from members (including custom daemons, etc.)

kvm

The StarTech Server Remote Control External KVM over IP provides access to systems that may have a degraded network. It allows us to monitor Power-On Self Test (POST), configure BIOS/CMOS, and even reinstall operating system software. It must be connected to another multiple port KVM in order to have access to more than one server.

hopper

Use: Initially, server was set up by Clinton Ebadi. It's purpose is to serve as a secondary KDC/AFS server instead of Krunk, and an email server (all email processing).

(The 1x2 GB RAM module was acquired from Newegg, and the two disks from ServerSupply. Purchases were made in Sep 2008, but ServerSupply took good 3 weeks to deliver).

Tech.coop

outpost

Use: secondary DNS on a different subnet, all tasks requiring remote location.

Awaiting setup

None.

Awaiting purchase

None.

Decommissioned

abulafia: shell server

Intended use: refurbished slightly to serve as a generic shell server and the only machine where usage not strictly related to "Internet hosting" is permitted. Due to failing parts the machine was decomissioned completely and is no longer planned for reuse.

baltar

xanadu

Removed from rack in December 2008 to make space needed for servicing other machines. Server wasn't able to run with current hardware, and the board determined that it would be more effective to purchase a higher-powered server to fill our rack rather than purchase parts needed to bring Xanadu into operation.

krunk

Use: was a secondary KDC and AFS server. Decomissioned after it developed problems in the hardware (as we perceived it) network stack.
