Decommissioned the old OSIS virtual machines which completed the project for migrating the OSIS environment to RHEL4 and from the AMD to the Intel ESX clusters.

Nagios has been fully migrated from a virtual machine to a physical machine.  This move was related to performance issues which arose after patching.  The new service has been upgraded to Nagios 3.0.6 and is also utilizing the NDOUtilities for logging to MySQL.   The migration went very smoothly overall.  The service has been stable again since the migration was completed.

Began work on building an additional Streaming Media Server.  The new server will be located on the VUMC network in order to better support their growing needs in streaming presentations, etc.

Groundwork has begun on planning for life-cycle of the JPROD servers.   To more completely mirror production services, the JTEST1 replacement will consist of two servers.   After discussing projected growth and comparing to existing system specifications,  a request for options and quotes has been sent to our vendor.

No work has been done recently to migrate the ND&E “weathermap” to a new server.

DHCP migrations are moving quickly for the DNS project.  Some minor feature changes were requested and completed for the reporting/scheduling page.

At the request of Network Security, the port-block pages have been slightly overhauled and fixed.  It was noticed that the pages were not working properly after being migrated to the new web servers.   So far no other problems have been reported.

Migrated a few smaller databases from mysql01 ro mysql02 in a continuing effort to retire the old MySQL4 server.

There have been no action items assigned in the GMail for Life project.
