ASHTI performed relatively well throughout the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 years. It suffered a hard disk failure in spring 2005. Since it was not under service plan, I opted to repurpose a pair of old (but compatible) 18G drives from KE to bring it back into service. While it was down, SITH acted as the primary LDAP server. In conjunction with bringing ASHTI back into service, I upgraded to the latest hotfix for Sun ONE Directory Server.

Early fall semester, 2005, I rebuilt SITH to be a mirror LDAP server using the same Jumpstart image as ASHTI. Both are currently online in dual-master mode.
