SYSMGR: 02-Feb-2005

SYSMGR

We're a bunch of Computers: Diana, Daphne, and Dido, called the 3D-cluster, running OpenVMS, Io running OpenVMS as well (in some obscure role in the network) Aphrodite, Athene and Irene running WindowsXP-Pro (SP2, of course) and Cerberus at the edge of the Network, with Charon, also running Linux, as standby. SYSMGR takes care of us.

02-Feb-2005

Nothing really happened last month.
Some patches are to be applied to Diana (next weekend?).
Venus and Athene have their disk defragmented (using DiskKeeper) and their startup smoothed up - it really helped shortening up the time required to get the system up and running, especially Venus (which is effectively not really fit to run Windows XP...).

As usual, no problems for Diana. Even with 256 Mb it runs nicely and without supervision. There have been some attempts to push things onto the anonymous FTP site, some attempts to hook up to the website, virus-infected e-mails and numerous spam attempts, but, as ususal, I do not have to fear: all failed (as could be expected).
