Notes:

  • Installed FC4 using PXE boot capabilities of the system.
  • Probably should add a second 100MB partition on /dev/sdb as well to mirror /boot, may come in handy when /dev/sda fails
  • Because there is no easy way to backup the system, the root filesystem is placed on a software RAID1, all Netflow log files can go into /usr/local
Our MP server has been installed and has its disks initially set up so that the first disk is standalone and carries the system, while the other five are available for forming a RAID and formatting.

Because the initial environment is for testing only, and we have several local options for a reasonably quick backup and restore, we did not choose to put the first disk into a RAID1. This way, if the first disk fails, we will restore it from backup and just mount the rest separately again; if the other disks fail, the system will keep running.

The remaining disks will probably be mounted as one big RAID0 and formatted into one or more partitions. This is also mainly because of this testing phase. The layout of partitions and filesystems will probably vary and

evolve as testing progresses - the partition with numerous small files should probably be ReiserFS due to speed optimizations; the rest can probably be ext3.

The eRIC remote management card network interface and the eth0 interface are connected to a giga-switch.
eRIC ip address: 193.204.221.17
eRIC card hostname: nfgn2-mgt.mi1.garr.net
eth0 ip address: 193.204.221.16
hostname: nfgn2.mi1.garr.net

The second network interface is connected directly to giga-ethernet interface of cisco 1200 router.

eth1 ip address: 193.206.129.38
hostname: rt-mi1-nfgn2.mi1.garr.net
