1.2. Description
We would like to get the GNOME Sysadmins all in one place for a weekend to knock out a number of projects that are better realized via face-to-face development and discussion. This would include migration of services to virtual hosts, improving LDAP redundancy, working on Mango, etc.
1.2.1. Agenda, goals
Assuming we have the new hardware by this point, we would like to accomplish the following:
- Move more things to puppet
-Migrate LDAP and DNS to standalone 1U server.- -- POSTPONED until the server comes in
- Migrate container (NFS) to secondary combobox machine.
Continue RHEL6 and -sssd migration- sssd updated to fixed version from upstream -JeffSchroeder
- Build out and deploy web services to virtual machines.
- wiki
-bugzilla- already in a vm JeffSchroeder
-RT- done by OlavVitters
- main website(s)
- Update documentation on changes made including SOP
-Tune Monitoring Solution (Nagios) to not be quite so sensitive. (noise!)-
