ECE donations
VTLUUG inherited several machines in May 2013 from ECE.
- 1 gray Poweredge tower
- Has at least one Xeon (unknown specs)
- Unknown memory, probably ECC
- 2x 1TB HDDs currently, space for at least 2 more
- Dell PERC (RAID controller)
- 1 black poweredge tower, unknown specs
- Has at least one Xeon (unknown specs)
- Unknown memory, probably ECC
- 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
- See EL Migration Project
- Milton should provide public_html directories for users
- Another auth server (Kerberos/LDAP slave) with a global v4 (preferably a physical machine)
- Dedicated file server (Kerberized NFSv4? AFS?)
- Stable replacement for mirror.ece.vt.edu (telnoratti is taking it over)
- Could potentially use filebox2/3 for storage
- Some sort of video conferencing - big blue button, SIP server, etc
- Old services (see Project Bringing Sexy Back), e.g. gopher, finger, telnet BBS
- Dtella node to mirror DEFCON talks, 29c3 talks, etc
- Dtella test network to port IPv6
