Some folks here may have noticed that STH had a few short bits of downtime today. Saturdays are slow at STH so it is a good maintenance window.
A few items got fixed today:
A big miss of the day was that I became the seemingly 100 millionth person to forget to save my vlan configuration to flash so when a switch was power cycled the vlans were not set and all heck broke loose for about 30 seconds.
Overall, I am still not 100% happy, but the new infrastructure will hopefully let me sleep better.
A few items got fixed today:
- The main 1GbE switches we have were the old HP V191024G's. 2013 era STH architecture recycled - these were removed in favor of 48 port 1GbE / 4x 10Gb SFP+ Dell switches. We needed more ports, so this was easy.
- We have had a zero U PDU that has been on life support since earlier this year when there was a major power event. Two of the ports did not work.
- Moved to two new APC 1U PDUs in the hosting rack
- Added an ATS PDU for single PSU architecture items
- Update Saturday!
