Maybe someone already thought about this (Craig ??), but I just realized
that changing hesiod information for beta test will be slightly
involved.
Right now we have
Beta (7.7)
athena% hesinfo beta-sun4 cluster
syslib beta-sun4sys
athena% hesinfo beta-sun4sys filsys
AFS /afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4m_53/srvd.77 n /srvd
Alpha (8.0) - This is not alpha-sun4 cluster
athena% hesinfo alpha-sun24 cluster
syslib alpha-sun24sys
athena% hesinfo alpha-sun24sys filsys
MUL alpha-sun24-srvd alpha-sun24-os
athena% hesinfo alpha-sun24-srvd filsys
AFS /afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4m_54/srvd n /srvd
athena% hesinfo alpha-sun24-os filsys
AFS /afs/dev.mit.edu/system/sun4m_54/os n /os
So, I guess we might want to create some new entries to parallel the
alpha configuration like this:
athena% hesinfo beta-sun24 cluster
syslib beta-sun24sys
athena% hesinfo beta-sun24sys filsys
MUL alpha-sun24-srvd alpha-sun24-os
This would have the beta and alpha machines getting the packs from the
same place for now. It also means, however, that all the beta machines
need to be moved from the beta-sun4 cluster to the beta-sun24 cluster,
and of course, the timing matters.
Alternatively, we could create the new MUL filsys entry beta-sun24sys,
and simply change the cluster information for beta-sun4.
Okay, enough rambling. I just wanted to make sure that someone thinks
about this before we try to go to beta.
