I tried replacing the temporary disk on ASHTI this morning with one of the old 18 G drives from KE. I think in the end it’ll work fine, but in the short term I toasted some filesystems and essentially killed ASHTI.
I managed to install the Sun ONE directory server on SITH and copy over all the data properly, so we at least have LDAP service restored (updating the dns records for directory.earlham.edu). SITH is now part of the regular NetBackup rotation again.
When I return I’ll salvage anything else off of ASHTI that I need and then jumpstart it. I’m going to try making it and SITH into a dual-master LDAP cluster so that hardware failures don’t take us out quite this way again.
