Current Projects

This is the list we will work from in addition to service requests.

Please update specific projects at their own page.

You can see our Open Tasks here. This is a new way of handling projects, but as we use it more we will also start filling up the Closed Tasks page.

• Proposal to update our task process: Sysadmin/Task_Process
• Upgrade CentOS on Pollock and Bronte
• Power down before outages
• Web logins
• Reinstall OS's on Lovelace machines
  • Lovelace machine: still no Internet, other one has unrelated problems
• Fix shinken server access
• layout node outside machine room - Eli interested
• layout: make different node the head node?
• passwords
  • auditing
  • new passwords
• Automated user emails
• Verify Lovelace DNS - check what machines we have vs. what's in the DNS file
• Backup on all machines - includes backup.cs.e.e (indiana?)
• FIFO for requests rather than ad-hoc
• Accounting for hours logged
• Whedon notes
• Ghost machine
• Power map additions and updates
• Hadoop on Whedon - Vitalii and Adam (stuck on ?) - talk to Ajit
