Summer 2013 New Machines

ECE donations

VTLUUG inherited several machines in May 2013 from ECE.

• 1 gray Poweredge tower, unknown specs
  • Has at least one Xeon
• 1 black poweredge tower, unknown specs
  • Has built-in RAID1 controller, holds 2 drives
• 2x PowerEdge 2900s from 2006 (ECE isn't done with these yet)
  • Each has Dual Xeons (either dual or quad core) with virt extensions
  • 16 GB memory
  • 10 HDD bays
  • Dual gigabit NICs
  • To be named cyberdelia and gibson
  • Can run KVM, Xen/XCP, or something else
• We also might be getting a RAID box, another server, and/or extra hard drives by the end of FY2013

Spare parts

We've recently acquired the following which we can cannibalize/use:

• mutantmonkey's old router (deadish mobo, everything else works)
• The 5U case from ftp3.freebsd.org (missing drive bays)
• SGI monitor with 2x VGA inputs (from telnoratti)

Services needed

We currently could use:

• A machine to replace wood to host at least acidburn, milton, and blade
• Another auth server (Kerberos/LDAP slave) with a global v4 (preferably a physical machine)
• Dedicated file server (NFSv4? AFS?)
• Stable replacement for mirror.ece.vt.edu (telnoratti is taking it over)
  • Could potentially use filebox2/3 for storage
