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.

If you want to know about our old machines, see the section [:PastMachines:Past Machines]. To find out how we name our machines, see ["Nomenclature"].

For the curious, here is a [http://www.ucc.asn.au/machines/images/aircon.jpg photo] of our world class cooling system.

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/martello.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
  5. ["Mussel"] - Should come up with Mermaid (as it's a VM) - just double check its there
  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.) Try and minimise the amount of time it's down - due to the UCC network design, it's the only MX for UCC. Most mailservers will requeue emails if they can't contact mooneye, but some will bounce after as little as a day.
