Sun Identity Management (IDM): The team has decided to create another classification of servers to add some additional flexibilty into the development progress. The new classification will be called preproduction, and it will combine some of the elements of the existing test and production classifications. I also removed the Directory Proxy Server (DPS) configurations from the CSM. This caused a small problem with production transaction routing, and a temporary out-of-service serverfarm was created so that the server was still accessible.
Test F5 LTM Implementation: The two LTMs that we purchased are now ready to take up their roles as test hardware. I had to modify our server naming policy to accommodate the new device types and roles. I also renamed all of our initial testing configurations to meet the new standards.
Bastion Host Patching: I patched the two AppHosting bastion hosts up to current RHEL4 standards. During the patching process, remote access was available by using the alternate host.
mysql-srv1 Decommissioning: The Sun Solaris MySQL server has been officially decommissioned. It is now out of service and waiting for the disks to be wiped.
thecard.vanderbilt.edu: I created a virtual on the SSL servers for Dining Services and change the DNS to point to the new site. This new configuration allows Dining Services to offer additional services on their main site beyond those currently provided by the vendor.
change.its.vanderbilt.edu: I created a new virtual host on the ITS web servers for the new change management website. The new virtual host involves an additional vserver and serverfarm on the CSM as well as some modifications to the existing mod_security rules.
ldap.vunetid.vanderbilt.edu: I updated the SSL certificate use by the two Solaris LDAP servers.
