As of this Sunday's restart, the athena.mit.edu AFS cell will
have a new database server, and one of the current ones will be removed
from the global CellServDB in preparation for being decomissioned.
paris.mit.edu (18.7.1.66) will be deployed, and chimera.mit.edu
(18.159.0.34) will be decomissioned.
paris will become a database server this Sunday (5/26/2001);
chimera will continue to serve requests for a week following paris's
deployment, and will be decommisioned during the restart on Sunday,
6/2/2001.
If you have an Athena workstation that reactivates frequently,
no action is required on your part; your machine will pick up the
changes automatically. On Athena machines which do not reactivate
frequently (servers that do not run xlogin, or machines whose primary
users are always logged in on the console), you may wish to log in as
root and run:
/etc/athena/config_afs
sometime after Sunday's restart to pick up the changes.
Non-Athena machines running AFS will need to update their
CellServDB entry for the athena.mit.edu cell; the new entry will read:
>athena.mit.edu #MIT/Athena cell
18.7.1.66 #paris.mit.edu
18.70.0.6 #prill.mit.edu
18.145.0.25 #agamemnon.mit.edu
Status notifications during Sunday morning's deployment will be
sent to the consult instance.
