Tonight I split the mirrors on the production AFS servers to upgrade the second of the two Apple XRAIDs's firmware to version 1.5. While doing that I also put in the proper LUN Masking for the three new AFS server that I built last night - bfs1, hfs1 and hfs2.
BFS1 will replace two very... um... mature AFS servers which serve out things such as everyone's web content and departmental spaces in AFS. It'll have a total of 1TB of mirrored disk space to allocate out.
HFS1 and HFS2 will replace the last of the old direct-attached SCSI AFS servers which serve everyone's home volumes. When these two come online, the HFS* servers will be 100% on the fabric.
I also spent part of the morning updating the zoning on the FC switches and getting them ready for the pending expansion into the PP building. This also entailed the installation of longwave SFP tranceivers into the switches here in ECS to make the distance across campus.
When the mirrors on the production AFS servers are done syncing tonight, I'll join the mirrors on the three new servers and then we'll plan the moving of volumes to BFS1, and also kick off the volume balancer script to move the home volumes off the old servers and on to the two new ones, and then go down and decomission them.
