| If we were to remain at Peer1 we would still need new hardware. We could instead purchase a single machine and improve services in place. = Initial = == New Hardware == * 2U Server * PowerEdge 2970 * OpenAFS file server, master KDC, databases initially * 1U Management console * IM4004-5 * Smaller than the kvm (2U) and ipkvm (not racked, but using shared 1U with switch) * Full remote reboot and serial console on '''all''' machines * Deleuze has a BMC with IPMI 1.5 support * Can serve as a frontend to the IBM RSA2 and Mire's SP allowing us to take them off of the public Internet (lowering the chances of a breakin) * Net cost of $150 with only one server, -$150 with two * DRAC cards giving us remote reboot and a few other not so useful features cost $350 ''''Cost'''': ~$1700 == Removed Harwdware == * 1U Krunk * 2U Belkin KVM * 0U Startech IPKVM Scrap krunk (does it have Ultra320 SCSI drives that could be reused in hopper?), and craigslist/ebay KVM and IPKVM. == Reassigned Hardware == * Deleuze * Option One * Secondary KDC and AFS server * Maybe store mail volumes on Deleuze and user volumes on new machine * Option two * Database server (fast disks and decently fast cpus make it ideal for this) == Space Change == * Net 0U change * Free up 2 ports on the switch * Remove krunk * Remove ipkvm * Remove mire SP (attach to console server) * Remove hopper RSA (attach to console server) * Add new machine * Add console server * Console server would have no free switch ports (deleuze, hopper-sp, mire-sp, new machine) = Six Months Later = == New Hardware == * 2U Server * PowerEdge 2970 or similar class machine * User accessible services * 1U managed switch == Removed Hardware == * Mire * Hopper * Netgear switch == Space Change == * 0U * Free up 1 port on the switch * Remove mire * Remove hopper * Add new machine * Free up 1 port on the management console * Add new machine * Remove mire SP * Remove hopper RSA We might want to keep the netgear switch to slave to the console server. A managed switch, however, would also offer vlan support and it looks like a port based management vlan could be used (as long as the vlan ID on the console and switch agreed). |
