SYSMGR: 18-May-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.

It works!
Setting the VOTES and EXPECTED_VOTES parameters as determined: EXPECTED_VOTES = 5 on all three boxes, and VOTES = 3 on Diana and VOTES = 1 on both Io and Daphne, and rebooted all machines after autogen: Now Diana can run without Io and Daphne.
Autogen on Diana was a bit troublesome since it was the first autogen after I removed the 256Mb of memory months ago, so it was not just the cluster parameters to be adjusted. Tjough, in the end, it works!

Did some adjustments on the genealogy website - still to do some work there, but fellow researches are now added (and could use Diana as a mailserver, but that has not yet been communicated).

Found out not all is 100% there but it's of minor concern.

There is some program requested to be migrated from Alpha to Itanium - not yet done, and it's in the new freeware CD. Something to do, there is another porting workshop next week. Good excercise before the bootcamp! Maybe on the company RX2600?
