Blackboard's Java process was using 1.7GB... The number of doom.
This means that a crash will probably happen in the next 2 hours.
I rebooted the server to avoid my pager going off at 2AM or extended
downtime if netsaint didn't catch it.
db1.afs db2.afs & db3.afs are all running on Dell 2650s now running Solaris 10x86. db2.afs has been renamed chablis, and is running the adm server because I'm too lazy to port adm to something modern so I can recompile it. Good 'ole adm.
Our Shibboleth IDP/AA functions have been moved to the loadbalanced webauth.umbc.edu server cluster and are officially in production as part of the
InCommon federation.
Another preemptive reboot for blackboard tonight 12/13 12/14
Will restart the system around midnight as java is about to run out of memory.
Rebooted blackboard today at 5:15AM to clear Java overflows for hopefully for the last time.
The two Sun V210 server which serve www.umbc.edu and many other virtual hosts were upgraded from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 last night. All campus web services maintained by Syscore are now operating on the Solaris 10 operating system.
Our only "public" shell server running Solaris, solaris.gl.umbc.edu (aka solaris1.gl.umbc.edu) has been upgraded from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10. From the user's perspective, there isn't much difference, however if you run ppriv $$, you will notice that aside from basic priviledges, you also have privs which allow you to use DTrace.
