Very hot schedule today, stand by:

9:10 - turnstone shut down and memory pushed down to 1024mb.� pulled out lm-tools and installed gcc.� Must add VMWare tools and recompile.

- Kipper is going to get the LM-QA-Zodiac image up-to-speed and we'll spin a copy out to physical (wabasha if there is room)

- Check out turnstone with 1gb of ram and see if performance is still out of whack

- Build on towhee will continue today only.� That will get TOmcat up to speed, KIpper and I will get WAS up to speed today.

- Make decision today about which to use, Tomcat or WAS.� We could stick with the LM install of WAS, then do a stand-alone build in a few months.

----

- BTI meeting right now.

- Need to deploy servers.

- Witty Jim is working on the DB builds/installs.� He's dorking with DB2 now.

- Ratface wants 3 seperate servers stood up for this build.� They can be fresh 4 builds or fresh 5.2 builds.� They can be clones of genseed.� He doesn't care.� We just need fresh boxes with WAS 6.1 on them.

-� Will probably house with PFF.

10:30

-- Talked with Mr. T about this clusterfuck and have a few changes:

- BTI will house with PFF, but not only on the same ESX hosts, but on the same VM.� We need to share BTI, PFF, and K&K all on the same VM and same WAS instance.�

- Makes perfect sense to consolidate and use fewer WAS licenses

- Tosses a little more complication into the mix because I have 3 apps contending for the same resources.� (And the QA WAS install is fucko)

::

Slick is pulling the Zodiac image out of LM for deployment on Wabasha.

Once he finishes, he'll boot Zodiac up and let Kipper know.

::

2:15 - Turnstone re-deploy and re-conversion is complete.� Turned it over to Kipper to check out the WAS install with 5GB.

- Spoke with Mr. T. as 1-1 meeting.� Have meeting with AVP IceQueen tomorrow.

-- found out that smmsp user can't be deleted or sendmail won't run.� fixed that.� also fixed it in the RH5 gold image.

    CORALINE's Interests:

    About Me: Little Plastic Castle is an extension of This Child's Life which is not hosted at inboxjournal. This blog will make little sense to anyone other than myself. It's a stream of consciousness log of what I do on a daily basis in my job as a UNIX computer systems engineer. o/~ "They say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine...so the little plastic castle is a surprise every time, and its hard to say if they're happy, but they don't seem much to mind." o/~ I endeavor to respect confidentiality and thus I use nicknames for the people I work with. (Mr. T, Ratface, Jerry, Cartman, Grandpa Simpson, Slick, and so on.) I drop system names in here and abbreviations, but any note that requires something like a FQDN will always be marked private. You can comment if you like, but I'll only respond if I feel like it.

    Interests: Cast of Characters: Just a few of the names I use for people, this is the nickname and what their job responsibility is. Mr. T - My Direct Manager (Engineering) Slick - ESX Specialist Cartman - Network Engineering Lead Grandpa Simpson - Network Engineer Becky - WebSphere Engineer Ratface - Developer/Architect Jerry - Project Manager (BTI) Matt T. - Project Manager (Blackbird) The Martian - Application Developer AVP Ice Queen - Engineering AVP Chez - Assistant to Ice Queen Watts - Engineering/Development Sr. Mgr.
