LOP1 fully productional

[predragp at andrew.cmu.edu]

Few updates regarding the fall out from the crash of old file server Lyre.

1. More data is saved ("common software") comes to mind I am rsync-ing old
/auton/data and /auton/project folders containing close to 5TB of data to
new file servers. If you have secret svn repos on Lyre this is the time to
speak out.

2. Lop1 shell gateway is rebuilt and put back in production. The Lab has
four fully functional gateways:

i. lop1.autonlab.org
ii. lop2.autonlab.org (port 2222)
iii. shell.autonlab.org
iv. bash.autonlab.org

I can add more if necessary. For X2Go proxy please use bash.autonlab.org
or read the login message first before trying to use other shell gateways
as proxy machines.


3. Lofty is shutdown which means that there are no remains of old NIS
infrastructure left in the Lab. That also mean that if you are  cursing
your system admin or you are mad at him make sure your use my name as with
the exception of thee nodes in NREC and Xen1 which hosts Auton Lab website
all machines have been purchased or rebuilt after I took the job in July
of last year.

4. LOS1 is retired.

5. LOT2 is awaiting to be rebuilt. The main problem is the existing 3TB
soft RAID 5 which is 91% full. I would really appreciate people e-mailing
me and claiming their data as it is going to be much easier to sort things
than if I just archive it.


Best,
