[18:06:40] <Bytram> been very busy the past several days
[18:06:46] <janrinok> good - and a holiday this w/e too!
[18:07:00] <Bytram> sorta, i get the 4th off but am working sunday
[18:07:15] * Bytram is looking forward to the fireworks! Ka-BOOM!
[18:07:53] <Bytram> janrinok: FYI: the merged story you put up had orig sub pointing to the *merged* story. I split it out to the two separate subs.
[18:08:08] <Bytram> I think it was the one about gliders on mars
[18:08:11] <janrinok> I'm OK with fireworks but I don't get excited about them any more. I've been invited as a guest for Bastille Day celebrations, so it looks as if I have been accepted as a 'local' now
[18:08:38] <Bytram> for future reference, the easiest way to track them down was to look at the submission history of the two submitters.
[18:08:38] <janrinok> Bytram: I know - but both subs are merged into it without being editedc
[18:09:09] <Bytram> so we have a 'local' celebrity? kewel!

[18:27:56] <mechanicjay> The sramble work is handled by departmental staff, so is invisible to the Central IT budget.
[18:28:01] <Bytram> mechanicjay: 'move stuff'?
[18:28:23] <mechanicjay> migrate our EL* boxes to something else
[18:28:34] <mechanicjay> no security updates means we're not going to be running it.
[18:29:06] <Bytram> k, I was following you, but am now confused...
[18:29:32] <Bytram> so current RH installs will become centos, which requires 'scramble work' to install, right?
[18:29:48] <mechanicjay> no. It's the 400 RedHat boxes we current have running that require the work.
[18:29:55] <Bytram> but, since it is not getting security updates, you won't be running it...
[18:30:24] <Bytram> so those will be converted (scrambled over) to centos?
[18:30:27] <mechanicjay> right, so we need to either reinstall or figure how to migrate an install from Rhel7 to EL7
[18:30:31] <mechanicjay> fuck
[18:30:38] <mechanicjay> migrate from EL7 to centos 7
[18:30:40] <Bytram> but now you'll be without security updates?
[18:31:02] <Bytram> or, you'll have a token install which has the updates, and then replicate THAT to the other boxes?
[18:31:03] <mechanicjay> the Redhat boxes will be if we loose out redhat subscription.
[18:31:13] <Bytram> ahhhh, got it.
[18:31:42] <Bytram> mechanicjay: just remember when faces with a problem: Am I the *very* *first* person to run into this?
[18:32:02] <Bytram> if not, then someone else has prolly done it... see if you can find out how they did it and what the gotchas are.
[18:32:23] <Bytram> IOW, there's prolly some more PHBs out there!
[18:32:42] <mechanicjay> I know we're not, and mostly the linux system engineer will be handling it, but it's still irritating as I"ll need to verify all my services come back properly after whatever action gets decided on is taken.
[18:32:57] <Bytram> ouch.
[18:33:11] <Bytram> that'll be a pain. I share your concenr.
[18:33:15] <Bytram> *concern
[18:33:37] <Bytram> do you have a suite of things that you can throw at the existing boxes to get a baseline of their current behaviour?
[18:34:03] <Bytram> that you could then run again after the side-grade to centos and confirm things?
[18:34:08] <mechanicjay> No, each box has been lovingly hand crafted to suite whatever it was built for.
[18:34:28] * Bytram wishes we had something like that when SN went through its upgrade on apache and mod_perl
[18:34:30] <mechanicjay> thankfully 75% of it just LAMP stuff, so not much concern there
[18:34:35] <Bytram> o. m. g.
[18:35:07] <Bytram> I hope you have backups, and clones of those, and they are tested.
[18:35:11] <mechanicjay> the remaining 25% is custom developed software written by researchers which is extraordinarily brittle and difficult to move/upgrade/etc
[18:35:23] <Bytram> nod nod
[18:35:40] <Bytram> just because they can write code, does not mean they should
[18:35:45] <mechanicjay> backups yes, clones? most of this is bare metal
[18:35:59] <mechanicjay> Bytram++
[18:35:59] <Bender> karma - bytram: 61
[18:36:05] <Bytram> ummm, backups of the backups in case there's media problems, etc.
[18:36:11] <Bytram> aww, shucks
[18:36:17] <mechanicjay> I just moved an app off a 10 year old Fedora 13 box
[18:36:37] <Bytram> do these *need* to run on bare metal?
[18:37:02] <Bytram> or can you do a p2v on at least some of them?
[18:37:12] <mechanicjay> On the surface it was a php script, which execs a csh script -> which execs a compiled binary (with complied in host names!), which calls a perl process which calls some java-tastic process
[18:37:15] <Bytram> p2v = physical to virtual
[18:37:20] <mechanicjay> I kind of wanted to kill myself
[18:37:31] <Bytram> nah, kill the coder instead
[18:37:35] <Bytram> I kid.
[18:37:50] <mechanicjay> that bitch is now isolated in a docker container so I can move it where ever I need to now :)
[18:38:03] <Bytram> mechanicjay++
[18:38:03] <Bender> karma - mechanicjay: 19
[18:38:31] <mechanicjay> The best part is, after I move it, I told the old professor it was done. He comes back and says that the results don't match the sample data.
[18:38:52] <Bytram> instead of a screwdriver, sounds like that developer stumbled upon a leatherman multitool. :P
[18:39:10] <mechanicjay> So I fire the old hardware back up, run it and show that the current results are the same as the old results. In other words, you shit broke sometime in the last 8 years and you didn't notice.
[18:39:30] <Bytram> oh ho! how'd s/he take *that*
[18:40:08] <mechanicjay> Actually they were pretty appreciative of that insight and are trying to track down the researcher who originally wrote it to take a look.
[18:40:34] <Bytram> good luck with that, and with the researcher actually remembering what they did 'way back then'
[18:41:02] <Bytram> otoh, I've written code and went to fix something 10 years later and been amazed at how well I remembered some of it. ya never know.
[18:41:03] <mechanicjay> yeah, thankfully that falls firmly into the "Not my problem" category.
[18:41:36] <mechanicjay> SCORE
[18:41:44] <mechanicjay> finally got the radeon driver to load on my gentoo box
[18:41:48] <Bytram> of course, I write lots of comments and document my intent of what I am trying to *do*; the 'why' instead of the 'what'
[18:42:04] <Bytram> !woop
[18:42:04] <Bender> woop woop woop (\/) (;,,;) (\/)
[18:42:48] * Bytram looks at his laptops sticker: ATI Radeon Express 200M
[18:44:15] <mechanicjay> I now have my triple boot working perfectly. Win7/Gentoo/FreeBSD
[18:44:26] <Bytram> yay!
