Weekly log #210 for week ending 02-Apr-1999

Set up a new Sun Ultra-10 workstation as node Water in the Trinet development area. This system will be used by the Timers to test Jiggle. After about one hour of use, the system locked up and would not reboot. Called Sun warranty service about this.
Borrowed node Rust for the Timers to use in next week's Trinet system test.
The replacement monitor for Wwolf arrived. After the swap, the bad monitor was sent back to Compaq warranty service.
Investigated some memory errors that appeared on the Spring system console.

Weekly log #211 for week ending 09-Apr-1999

Spring rebooted on Sunday night and the FDDI interface did not come up properly. Had to manually reset the interface, after which it operated normally.
Rebooted Bigone to clear some NFS problems with the Jukebox.
A service guy from Sun came out to fix Water. He replaced the power supply and main system board, but this did not fix the problem. He came back the next day and replaced the main board, power supply, and memory. Then the system worked.
Installed some Solaris patches for Java.
Added printer definitions for the big HP plotters on the Trinet systems.

Reinstalled Solaris on Chalk, which is the machine in the hallway which runs the Aware display.
Added an Sbus ethernet card in Granite to connect it to the 65 subnet.
Did the Disneyland Earthquake Fair.
Hackers broke into scec2, which is the main scec data center web server. Spoke with Kimo about this incident to ensure that the Trinet systems are not vulnerable to the same sort of attack.

Showed Joe how to use the old 9-track tape drives.
Added the new EDIS address at OES to the quake-alarm majordomo mailing list.
Set up a common directory for Java files on the Trinet development systems.
Dismantled the old Cajon in order to make space for a new rack which will hold the new GigaRAID HA that Andataco is sending for Jet.
Arranged with Phil to do a new Solaris install on the SX RAID that is already attached to Jet. This will be the first step in making Jet and Spring equivalent systems.
Set up Big Brother, which is a system and network security monitoring tool. This will monitor availability of system resources on the Trinet systems.

Installed Solaris 2.6 on Jet on the SX RAID. After the upgrade configuration is ready, this will become the new system disk.
