So the datacenter is preparing to move from the 9th floor of the building to the basement, where they’ll have more space, better power infrastructure, better AC, etc etc etc. Part of the prep for that happened Friday evening. They shut down between 2 and 5 to do god knows what. What I do know:
- Tank refused to boot due to a cooked CPU Fan
- Dozer came online without too much of an issue, but the suspended VMs didn’t.
- Apoc refused to boot the Xen-ified kernel. This took the most amount of time to fix, and it ended up being due to a kernel update that came down with the same package name as what I’d installed before. It is known to be broken, and apparently they’re not planning on fixing it.
- They moved two of the AC units to the basement where they will sit unused for the next month, while everything slow-cooks itself to death in the existing facility.
I guess for the full move in December I may need to plan some maintenance for my rigs. I just need to keep telling myself this is fun. It’s a fun hobby. It’s a fun hobby.
