10:15 - I wanted to start working on the RHEL5 gold image today.� VIC in New York didn't give me a 5 option until I moved over to Mage.� Mage has 3.02 on it, Seer only 3.01.� 5 Wasn't an option on 3.01.
- Kipper needs me to look @ gargoyle.
� - A few weeks ago Kipper called saying that he couldn't get processes restarted after a change window on cyclops & gargoyle.� It can't spawn enough processes he says.

Explanation: WebSEAL failed to create an additional thread. This may be due to running out of operating system resources or exceeding process limits. Action: Check memory and thread limits for the process, and available memory. The error number can be looked up in /usr/include/sys/errno.h for more details on the problem.
- I raised the nproc limit in /etc/security/limits.conf a few weeks ago, set the hard limit up from 1000 to 3000.� Today I set the soft limit up from 400 to 1000.� No difference.� PMR is open with IBM.
0 - Got the OK to boot clover and basil last night.� It turned into a complete clusterfuck that was my fault entirely.
� - A few weeks back, Slick deployed these VMs and did the identity change and tool install etc.� He's not a UNIX person, but he knows his way around well enough.� After he finished, he asked me to double-check what he'd done and I completely blew him off because I was working on other things.
- The servers rebooted, but came up complaining about VMWare Tools not matching the running kernel.� I think Slick compiled VMWare tools before shutting down, not after restarting.� So when he did the compile, he was still on the old kernel.
- I booted them both back to their old kernel and got networking up, then loaded in a compiler and tried to find the kernel headers or source code on RHN.� It wasn't available and I have no idea why.� Perhaps the kernel was retracted, I don't know.� At any rate, I finally got the source code from kernel.org and got it through our firewalls and into a system where I could move it around.
- Right in the middle of this, a storm blew through the desert and knocked down my business Internet connection but spared my home connect even though they're both in the same house.� grrrr.
- Booted the systems to the new kernel, compiled the tools, unloaded the source & compilers and turned them back over to Becky to get OV up and running.
Ended up taking 1.5 hours instead of 20 minutes.
tada!
