TJHSST Sysadmins

The Sun SGD and CUPS (printing) services will undergo scheduled maintenance at 5:00 PM, June 20th. They will be updated to Solaris 10 update 7. Please contact Steven Godofsky (contact info on the Intranet) for more information.

After an incredible delay (Four months perhaps?) next year's admins have finally been announced! The assignments are as follows:

Core Administrators
David Ensey
Thomas Georgiou (CSL Workstation Maintainer)
Andrew Imm (Intranetmaster)
Daniel Johnson (Head Admin)
Jennifer Lee (Website Admin)
Junior Administrators
Steven Godofsky (Sun Technology Coordinator)

Additionally, there are new guidelines in place for next year's admins:

The workstations that used to be along the wall of the Machine Room, as well as all of the new workstations, have been updated with a new 64-bit image. This is currently in testing, and we would like your feedback. If you find any errors, crashing programs, bugs, etc., please file a new bug request at https://bugs.tjhsst.edu. We would gladly appreciate your feedback, as it will no doubt help the usability of the workstations. Thanks, –The Sysadmins

Update 2009/03/08, 3:16PM: I received a report over the weekend that the AFS servers weren’t actually doing that much better during the day. I’ve finished the volume moves for now, and will wait to hear how they do tomorrow during school. We are in the process of getting a new storage array for AFS, which will triple the amount of space available, and will also increase maximum disk speeds from 160MB to 320MB.

Please pardon the lateness of the announcement of the Sysadmins for next school year. I would like to have these out by the end of April at the very latest, so we can train the up and coming admins. -The Sysadmins
