Admin TODO

Various stuff to do on the servers to improve services or relibility

• upgrade Albiero and sirius to Lenny
  • Imply a reboot to change kernel => beware of eth0 vanishing
  • physical access ?
• Hardware
  • Switch gigabit between the eth1 of ganesh, albiero and sirius
  • way to get albiero and sirius console from ganesh
  • way to have ganesh console on albiero (iLO *does* fail)

• Database
  • move them all to albiero
  • move them all to pg 8.3 (requires lenny)
  • do we need/can have a fall back if albiero is down

• Web
  • optimize pg request
  • make sure the web work even if the databases are down
    • important for fastcgi (maybe tweack various timeout)
    • avoid ugly error on apache
  • mirroring/reverse-proxying/round-robining
    • i think sirius is missing some crontab to get the svn and generate certain files
    • need to create dns entries for {www,images,download}{1,2,3,..} and matching vhost
  • for when sh**t happens:
    • prepare "maintenace" pages for www, trac, wiki, forum
    • prepare simplified pages with only a few links

• Mail
  • create an admin ml
  • make sure the cron send to admin@ if and only if something bad happened
