Hello Wouter and *,

since August 2011 I run an Experimanental-Cloud with 20 IBM eServe  x345
and 40 IBM eServer x335...  Enough machines to play with it.

Since 3 weeks I now have my two  400V/32A/3P  CEE  Wallets  for  my  two
Severracks in my office.

Am 2011-10-13 19:38:12, hacktest Du folgendes herunter:

I was thinking on this, but HOW does this work with the config files?

Is thre a Debian HOWTO which descibe this?


If software change and the old config is not more  compatibel  with  the
nw binaries, your system could become instable...  and runing a  Cluster
or a Cloud with a view dozen, some 100 or 1000 Servers will  bring  down
our entired system.

Is thee a HOWTO how to solv this?

However, all of my systems have

    /dev/sda1    1000 MByte     Rescue
    /dev/sda2    xxxx MByte     swap
    /dev/sda3   10000 MByte     /tmp

    /dev/sda5    2000 MByte     /Production_1
    /dev/sda6    3000 MByte     /Production_1_var_log

    /dev/sda7    2000 MByte     /Production_2
    /dev/sda8    3000 MByte     /Production_2_var_log


So, normal I run "Production 1" (mounted as /) and have always  a  seond
system too bootup.  If something goes realy wired, I a boot "Rescue".

Now I can update the Second (not runing) production system  without  any
hassless

Yeah!  If it goes down, you have no network anymore...

Iprefer this fileserver in an heavyly secured environment  and  sync  my
production systems from there if needed.

FullACK

My "rsync" on /usr take only 10-20 seconds per server (the sync  server
has 10GE interfaces to the internal switch and the serves  are  hanging
with there second Eth on this switch)

:-D

In some of my systems I use 4 GByte CF-Cards with an  SATA/PATA  adapter
because I do not need more Diskspace (my master DNS Server is such case)
