Sysadmin:TestingServices

Things to test after upgrades, reboots, a shutdown, etc.

• All machines:
  • ping (from the same domain, from a different domain, by IP, by name)
  • ssh (key and non-key based auth)
  • local and remote volumes mounted (/etc/fstab)

• Public facing servers:
  • ssh from off-campus (key and non-key based auth)
  • Remote editing via sftp

• Specific machines:
  • WebMO on ...
  • Jupyter Jupyter

• Computational server:
  • slurm ($ sinfo; $ <submit a job>

• Varies by host:
  • For servers running mail and mailman: send an email to your cs dot earlham dot edu account and to notifications at cs dot earlham dot edu
  • Docker on pollock and lovelace (cira 2021-02) - "$ docker run hello-world"
  • If the machine should have LDAP, run id for an LDAP user e.g. id craig

Again this is after we shut down, reboot, or upgrade a single or multiple machines.
