- DKA200 on Tejon was logging errors. Inspection revealed that the
enclosure fan had burned out, causing the disk to overheat. A quick trip
to Radio Shack supplied a new fan.
- Ojai crashed again. Compaq service analyzed the error log and concluded
that it was a bad memory address in one of the SIMMS.
- Dataram agreed to send a replacement for the bad SIMM in Ojai.
- Got the replacement cold spare disk for the Jet GigaRAID HA.
- Added 1GB new memory to Jet and moved its system root to the new SX RAID.
Also set up the HA RAID disks for mounting.
- Installed the FDDI drivers on the new Jet system disk.
- Updated QDDS on quake with a new version.
- Put Solaris patch 106592-02 on all machines. This is a patch for
rpc.ttdbserverd to prevent a recurrance of the May 7th breakin.
- Installed a new Sendmail on the new Jet system disk and fixed the
permissions so that it would run correctly.
- Got the replacement SIMM for Ojai from Dataram and installed.
- Set up VMS-style terminal windows in Solaris for Raven.
- Hooked up the two new 18GB disks on Iron.
- Assisted ITS with moving the UPS and Catalyst in the Yellow House
basement higher in the rack to prevent flood damage.
- Put Big Brother on Jet, Magma, and Granite.
- The new QDDS on quake was not working properly. This turned out to be
caused by a permission problem that prevented ISAIAH from copying its files
into the QDDS directory.
- Copied over the wu-ftpd directory structure on Dixie for the SCIGN group.
- Charles from Wang Global came out to fix Water. Replacing the system
board and memory did not fix the problem. He will return when he gets a
new power supply.
- Moved /export/home and /export/home2 on Iron to one of the new 18GB disks.
- Worked with Phil to move Jet to the new rack.
- Helped Karen with a problem on Scec, which turned out to be a disk
enclosure with a bad power supply.
- Set up the new ftpd for SCIGN on Dixie.
- Both Bob and Kate had keyboard problems on their Suns. Swapped out one
keyboard and one cable to fix.
- Charles from Wang Global came out and replaced all of the guts of Water.
The system appears to be working properly now.
- Put Secure Shell on magma and granite in order to allow for backups of
these systems over the network.
- The USNSN machine had been broken into and used to stage attacks on other
systems. After talking to Dave Ketchum in Golden, we turned it off.
Created an account for him on Iron so that his stuff can run there.
***
- Ojai experienced repeated crashes due to hardware problems. These turned
out to be a bad SIMM, which was replaced by Dataram under warranty.
- Moved Jet to its new rack and set it up to boot off of the SX RAID.
- Patched all Solaris systems to prevent a recurrance of the May 7th
breakin.
