Working practices

We don't anticipate any major changes to the unit's working practices.

Data owned by MPU

Data Master copy Replication Backup Disaster Notes
Packages AFS (RW copy where?) RO copies at KB and central area ? Urgent  
Packages (sites branch) AFS (RW copy where?) need RO copies Probably don't need Urgent  
LCFG rfe data LCFG master replicated to all LCFG slave servers rsync mirror service Urgent  
LCFG svn data LCFG master replicated to all LCFG slave servers rsync mirror service + want tape backup Urgent  
LCFG svn code LCFG master ??????? ?????? Low  
DIYDICE data DIYDICE server ? rsync mirror service low  
CVS (code) DICE CVS service See services unit See services unit Low  
LCFG AFS space (/group/lcfg) AFS RO copies Assuming tape backup low  
LCFG wiki Public access server none rsync mirror service low  
bugs.lcfg Public access server ? ? Low

  • Around 10 other 1U rack machines used for testing and development and as spares. Low criticality and 100Mb network.

Notes

  • DICE wiki important to bring back early because of CO information
  • Machines served by DIYDICE server more vulnerable as DIYDICE shares server is public facing. Perhaps early candidate for virtualisation?
  • No new servers are needed prior to occupation
  • Perhaps we want a full copy of the RPMs somewhere other than on AFS so that AFS service isn't a dependency in case of disaster
