This Monday, the dev.mit.edu DB and fileserver wham.mit.edu will
be moved from E40 to W92. This is the first such move for the
dev.mit.edu cell; over the course of the summer, all three dev.mit.edu
servers will be moved. These moves will affect users with Athena
workstations in the alpha or beta clusters, but should not affect most
Athena users.
wham will be moved Monday (6/4/2001) at approximately 4pm. It
will have no data on it and will not be the dev.mit.edu sync site at the
time of its move, so there should be no user visible outage during the
move.
The entire dev.mit.edu cell will be restarted at 1am Tuesday
(6/5/2001) morning. This will result in a 5-10 minute outage of the
cell, similar to what is experienced during the Sunday morning restart.
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. This is most
important if you have an Athena workstation in the alpha or beta
clusters.
Non-Athena machines running AFS will need to update their
CellServDB entry for the dev.mit.edu cell; the new entry will read:
>dev.mit.edu #MIT/IS Development cell
18.7.1.70 #wham.mit.edu.
18.86.0.50 #hum.mit.edu.
18.86.0.51 #rattle.mit.edu.
As always, status notifications will be sent to the consult
instance as necessary.
