January MAR
Server Patching: All of the shared web servers have been patched, and the co-hosted web servers are scheduled.
Sun Identity Management: I am continuing my work to bring the VMs online in the VUH data center, but I’m being diverted by operational events and tasks. Both ESX servers are fully online and accessible after the latest network revision. We are in the process of implementing slamd to load test the new service. The test MIS Business Objects servers are now connecting to the new service.
ITS Website Redesign: All of the ITS-manage virtual hosts have been migrated from the old servers to the new servers, except for the main ITS website and the change management website. The Drupal-based ITS website is still undergoing content revisions. The change website will be migrated in the near future. Cutover to the Drupal-based site is pending completion of the content revision.
Nagios Data Merge: The data from the old Nagios server has been merged into the archives on the new Nagios server. This process involved translating server and service check names between the two servers. All of the monitoring data is now on the new server.
Sitemason Enhancements: We have put a lot of effort into identifying performance issues with the Sitemason service and implementing potential fixes. The database server has been reconfigured to handle an increased connection volume. The too many clients errors were somewhat sporatic and do not always coincide with the MyVU traffic. We have built and are currently testing a clustered configuration.
