There is also some people +</I>><i> that told us they could maybe give us servers, but we need to tell them +</I>><i> what we need. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> So I think we currently need this : +</I>><i> +</I>><i> - a backup server: this server does not need to be very fast, but we +</I>><i> need to be able to put a lot of disks inside. With redundant power +</I>><i> supply. This is were we would backup data from all other servers. +</I> ++1. + +I think Nanar proposed to get a external raid array ( as we do have for +zarb.org ) so this could help ( check with him, and the price of array +we can place inside ). + +I would also check with Lost Oasis people about space we still have in +the rack, as we are sharing everything with zarb.org for now, and this +could place some constraint in term of size, and I fear that "lots of +disk" could mean "take lots of space". + +Also, we need a estimation of what we need : +- databases +- svn dump +- ldap dump + +Do we backup everything at Marseille datacenter, or everything ? +IE, blogs dbs are already taken care thanks to dams, but for the sake of +simplicity maybe having a single procedure would be better. And this +would be a issue for more remote db like forums, etc. + +><i> - New disks to add in build nodes, to have better IO when running +</I>><i> multiple build on each node. I think each disk would cost around 50 +</I>><i> euros. +</I> +How many ? 1 per server, more ? Raid, non raid ? + +Also, do we have proper support on iurt to achieve that ( ie, each job +with its own disk, or some low level trick to achieve that ) ? + +I would propose to try to not be shy and try 3 builder per server, at +least on jonund, so maybe put more disk there ? + +Also do we still have slots ? + +><i> - ARM build nodes: misc said he can provide a pandaboard. Maybe we need +</I>><i> to add a disk if it doesn't have one.

I will try to +get it and drop it at mageia pub^W secret headquarters :p + +Something that would be nice is some kind of case, but I do not have +anything nor much idea on how to find one. + +Speaking of this, as rtp has pretty good relation with efika ( *khof* +smartbook *khof* ), maybe he could arrange for stuff like that : +<A HREF="http://paulfedora.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/new-arrivals-genesi-efika-mx-smarttop/">http://paulfedora.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/new-arrivals-genesi-efika-mx-smarttop/</A> + +><i> - and if possible, one or two fast servers to provide VMs for packagers +</I>><i> to test builds +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Do you see something else ? Or other details/comments about what we need ? +</I> +For the last item, I would propose we try to get a server from ovh. +Mandrivafr did it and they weren't too constraining about conditions. + +Alternatively, maybe Dedibox can provide us another one ( raphael spoke +about it, having a 2nd rabbit would fit nicely to offer vms to test +packages ). + +We could also arrange this server to have a public http server +( people.$domain ), either in a vm or on the main server. + +-- +Michael Scherer + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003358.html">[Mageia-sysadm] New hardware for mageia servers +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003366.html">[Mageia-sysadm] New hardware for mageia servers +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3360">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3360">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3360">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3360">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-sysadm">More information about the Mageia-sysadm +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
