* Holy hell, disk failures left and right. Tl;dr: kratos is now a switchvox box, it's got another failing disk in it, vm2 is hosting everything, none of the boxes are really workable (kratos has failing disk again and vm2 has no RAM). Good news is we have a new box thanks to [User:Compuhacker] that has a lot of RAM and is generally good. So we can use that, at least for a while, and vm2 seems to be supporting the essentials in the meantime.

Revision as of 14:41, 27 July 2014

Along with the complete overhaul of the network comes a complete overhaul of this page. As the network will have rough edges for a while, so will this page.

Information

Networks

Description VLAN ID IP Space
WAN 100 24.96.165.224/29
DMZ 200 10.56.0.0/24
Trusted LAN 300 10.56.1.0/24
Guest LAN 400 10.56.2.0/24
VPN - -

Procedures

Convert a normal logical volume to a DRBD

Delegates

Road Map

  • Migrate one VM host (vm2?) to be running on top of old kratos hardware.
  • Fix DNS FQDN wonkiness.
  • Establish VPN solution.
  • Establish backup solution.
  • Set up all boxes to email to netadmin when they have problems (forward root email).
  • Establish Xen management system
    • One of [1] most likely; Ctrl+F xen
  • Begin updating and upgrading VMs
  • Establish general host management system
    • For VMs and physical boxes alike, but mostly the VMs; probably Ajenti if it's a good fit
  • Establish non-Zimbra password-changing app.
    • Perhaps a general LDAP management app, to replace the ldapadmin script.
  • Migrate from Zimbra's integrated LDAP to slapd (of some variety).
  • Look for remaining items that depend on Zimbra, address these, and decommission Zimbra.

  • Lots of stuff going on! Two new VM hosts vm2 and vm3 are set up on the exact same platform, same xen and drbd and debian versions, etc... VM migration is working well between these. Some VMs (backup) run on vm3, the rest currently run on vm2. We need to get a machine beefy enough to run all VMs again - old kratos can do this, and I THINK the hardware on that is in a usable state (all failed parts replaced) now.

  • router (UBNT EdgeRouter Lite) updated to UBNT software version 1.4.1 to hopefully fix our dhcp issues. There are some cool new features, too. Hfuller (talk) 01:36, 14 May 2014 (CDT)
