Status and Next Steps

Status

• XL1201 running clean Genera 8.3 on X15 drive from DKS
• MacIvory III running clean Genera 8.3
• All physical drives ddpt'd for backup

Next Steps

• Preparation
  • Permanently mount X15 drive and SCSI2SD into XL1201 and close it up
  • Install new 8MW RAM into XL1201
  • Copy all ddpt backups to Google Nearline for offsite backup (using Arq)
• Genera work
  • Set up one computer as a namespace server (probably MacIvory)
  • Set up both with Sites
  • Set up both with TCP/IP
• NFS and backup work
  • Set up a NFS server
  • Back up LMFS from XL1201 "original" SCSI2SD to NFS
• Document all of the above in blog posts with pictures
  • Make the HTML pre code blocks wider
• Concurrently: review console hardware and document all electrolytic capacitors and order replacements when the computer isn't running

Questions

• Why is the original SCSI2SD LMFS showing up as 0 bytes long, but the one from DKS shows up with a proper length?
