MAR – May 2009

1. BIND Views are finally working in DIP on the primary name server. There is still an issue with getting the views propagated to slave servers. Following the ISC instructions does not work and the vendor has been engaged.
2. The issue with pushing updates in the DIP environment has been resolved. Apparently ActiveMQ was refusing to play nicely. This paves the way for upgrades to the Sapphire Appliances and to the application.
3. Disk consolidation continues in the Virtualization environment. All "troubled" LUNs have been replaced. Additionally, prep work to retire the AMD ESX servers continue. When all is said and done, the ESX environment will drop from 20 hosts down to 12 hosts.
4. Work continues on resolving backup issues with a number of hosts moving off the .1 network to the Admin Network. There are still a number of hosts that needs this addressed.
