Finish up with CBET Trip #3

[ct-martin]

Schedule another trip to the CBET datacenter to try to finish setting up the servers.

[jwflory]

What is the next step to move this forward?

[ct-martin]

@jwflory I'd like to know if Ian does find anything as per #72, and then I need to write Mr. Mezziazini an email to with out times.

[ct-martin]

I have info now, need to email Dr. Skuse to see what his schedule looks like

[ct-martin]

Forgot to update the issue. We have a time this week and three of us will be heading down. @jrtechs will help with server setup and @icflournoy will help with networking

Update

Dr. Skuse was unavailable during the time we were going to visit the CBET machines. We have since rescheduled, and are planning on sending him a secondary reminder a day or two before the meeting.

[Tjzabel]

@ct-martin are you guys going in tomorrow (Thursday) to visit the CBET machines? If so, we should send Dr. Skuse an email as a reminder.

Eboard meeting Notes

We got some stuff running and online from trip 3.

@ct-martin will write a follow up email with Dr. Skuse.

TLDR work on CBET trip # 4

[Tjzabel]

@ct-martin I know you're busy this week, but whenever you have time, just let us know if there's anything remaining from trip # 3 keeping us from closing this issue :+1:

[ct-martin]

@Tjzabel it's just the write-up, but I'm totally buried right now

[Tjzabel]

@ct-martin all good :+1: Just wanted to know where we were at with progress on that.

[ct-martin]

TL;DR (not proper write-up):

• Ian switch was configured and put down there, password needs to be added to the credentials repo
• I ended up having to put my spare router down there, password needs to be added to the credentials repo. It's only 100Mbps, so we're still limited
• Proxmox password needs to be added to credentials repo
• One of the servers had bit-rot, two are online and under idle load
  • Just checked, they haven't crashed yet under idle load
• The other three servers will need to get pulled out and get hardware swapped around
  • One has a bad VGA, but appears to work otherwise
  • One has a stuck drive bay that's not all the way in, but appears to work otherwise
  • One has one bad drive, but the others seem to work
  • I'd like to:
  • ...swap the drives from the bad VGA into the one with the bad drive
  • ...test & store the good drives from the server with a bad drive as spares
  • ...unstick the stuck drive bay Probably some more notes, but I forget right now. Also need to grab the MAC addresses & other specs

[Tjzabel]

@ct-martin are we free to close this issue? I'm not sure what we need to do to close this out.

[ct-martin]

@Tjzabel I need to document passwords, will look at in an hour

[ct-martin]

RITlug GitLab is down, will post when back up

[ct-martin]

Passwords were added to creds (private) repo; closing this issue
