+<PRE>Hi,
+
+now FOSDEM is over, I have no excuse to avoid sending that mail.
+So here is a quick report from the work we did at Marseille, on the
+datacenter.
+
+So as planned, we arrived on 01/02, with the 2 news servers, the arm
+board, the disk and the rest, and went back on 20/02 evening ( almost at
+the last moment ).
+
+In the 2 days, we managed to :
+- reinstall ecosse and jonund on new drives ( ssd + 2 harddrive in raid
+1 for less downtime ) ( and discover various
+- upgrade alamut ( and fix upgrade issues ) to mageia 1
+- upgrade valstar ( and fix upgrade issues ) to mageia 1
+- mount the arm boards, with SATA hard drive, on a power unit from pc
+( and also setup the network etc )
+- rack sucuk and fiona
+- puppetified everything
+
+we plugged the admin card of sukuk ( as 192.168.0.120 ) on fiona, and
+the one of alamut on jonund ( default ip, forgot to take a note ).
+
+
+Among the fun issues we faced, we have seen that :
+- ecosse sata controller is faulty, we can plug only 2 disks ( and we
+lost several hours on this )
+- typing halt on the first arm board stop the 2nd one, likely some
+issues due to the creative hack used with pc power unit
+- no more free slot on the switch we used, so we had to use the zarb one
+( and there is a broken/misconfigured port on it )
+- there is a red light on valstar, without reason
+- faced various issues with catalyst applications on upgrade, for
+templates search path ( boklm have more information )
+- missing xymon on mageia 1
+
+TODO
+- see if we can manage network from puppet, to ease reinstallation ( and
+not forget default gw, and various dns issues, etc )
+- incorporate sucuk ( packagers ) and fiona ( backup )
+- do something with the 2 arm board ( ie, setup iurt and the rest of the
+BS )
+- make sure we assign reverse ip for the 2 new servers
+- name the 2 arm board
+- upgrade rabbit ( but more about it in another mail )
+- upgrade champagne and krampouezh
+
+and likely some others things that I forgot ( but that I hope others
+didn't ).
