UCC Machines

The UCC runs a variety of different hardware. Not just your old [http://www.microsoft.com/windows Windows] machines, or even the increasingly common GNU/Linux or [http://www.apple.com/macosx/ Mac OS X] machines. The UCC likes to run lots of other operating systems and architectures, which are sometimes uncommon or extinct out there in the Real World.

The list of machines that we're running needs updating in the list below.

Server boot order

From time to time, the servers in the machine room go down and need to be restarted - to do so, there's a particular order that needs to be followed so things bounce back correctly.

  1. [http://www.ucc.asn.au/machines/madako.ucc Madako] - Core routing / firewall - bring up first if networking is required.

  2. SAN
  3. [http://www.ucc.asn.au/machines/pitch-velvet.ucc Martello] - Serves the user network home directories - needs to come up early as other things (eg. Mail) depend on it. Has an LDAP replica which avoids other complaints later.

  4. ["Mermaid"] - Xen hosting - you may need to restart xen/xen-domain["Mermaid"]
  5. ["Mussel"] - Should come up with Mermaid (as it's a VM) - just double check its there["Mussel"]
  6. [http://www.ucc.asn.au/machines/manduba.ucc Manduba] / Musundo - Manduba should already be up as its housed off site - contact [JCF] or [MRD] if its not

  7. [http://www.ucc.asn.au/machines/mooneye.ucc Mooneye] - Mooneye must come up last - it relies on a number of other services (user home directories, routing etc) If you want to mess around with other servers or it's taking a while to bring the other servers up, go into ucc-fw on Madako and comment out the mail relay section - if you do this, mail will be queued at the ITS mail servers (Panchea) and won't bounce back to the sender - don't leave it like this for long though!
