Hello everyone,
I'll be switching servers in the near future, from real
machines...to virtual ones. Yes, weather, weather2 and weather3.admin.niu.edu
will be mothballed and I will
be operating from VM's. The good news is that while I'll
miss my physical machines, these will be in a new high-speed
data center here at NIU, hooked up to 2 separate A/C units and generators,
so even if one fails, the other kicks in and takes over in the event of a
power failure.
Anyway, if you could be so kind as to allow these machines into your
ldmd.conf, depending on whether your are an upstream or downstream site, I
appreciate it:
vm-weather.admin.niu.edu : 131.156.43.220
vm-weather3.admin.niu.edu : 131.156.43.221
At this point, I am not planning on a vm-weather2 because I can go nuts on
increasing memory, CPU's etc on the other two.
Do NOT feed from those sites yet, but hopefully soon I'll get them up and
running after I verify all is well.
Hello everyone,
I posted this several months ago, and a decision to do this has just been
reversed. Please keep using weather2, weather3, and weather.admin.niu.edu
to feed off me, and delete the ones marked vm-* above if you added those
to your ldmd.conf list. Going virtual was not deemed to be the correct
solution for what I am doing here.
We will be replacing weather and weather3 in the near future with more
robust servers.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your time.
Gilbert
