Karl wants to make reynelda a database server so we don't have to take
down the whole cell Thursday night. I think it's a good idea (since
we want to do it anyway).
Here is the plan I outlined in [2273]:
- Add reynelda to the Athena CellServDB and send mail
to the appropriate Transarc list announcing the
change.
- Add reynelda to the server CellServDB on ronald-ann
and rosebud (using bos addhost, of course), and
restart the db servers on those machines.
- Start running db servers on reynelda. I don't know
the full procedure for adding a db server
(specifically, getting the existing vlserver and
ptserver information onto the new server), so I have
to learn that or someone else needs to do this part.
- After most Athena client machines have updated to
the new CellServDB (a week or so), force an election
to make reynelda the sync site. This may happen on
its own sooner than we want it to.
Amendment:
- Since shutting down rosebud will force an election
much sooner than we want, after the rosebud outage,
shut down the db servers on reynelda (to force
another election) and restart them.
So, Karl and I will probably do this tomorrow evening, barring
objections. We don't expect it to cause any lossage.
