Matt Gourley's TechBlog - February 22nd, 2007

1) Getting UPSTREAM running on IPO2
2) Setting up the test and production golden images with Omegamon code.
3) sudo() access for the Application Integration team.
4) Learn about the Java and DB2 tweaks done the week I was at SHARE.

I spent Monday and Tuesday getting backups setup for linux11 and linux12, and for the DB2 portion of linux5. I would like to get UPSTREAM for DB2 working, but Brian says that can wait until after the March 15th deadline.

I'm running into the same NFS issues on linux8 (which has the Omegamon code) that I had on linux00 (which is both the golden image and the software install server). I'm updating linux8 right now, over 109MB of updates. As Gadget would say, "Wowsers!"

The nfs updates having been completed on linux8, I find out that IBM-JRE is not installed by default on the golden image. Time to IPL back on the 103 disk, chroot() to /sles9golden, and run YaST to install this, then back to 100 to (maybe) install the client code.

Whoo-hoo! Installed.

Next: sudo() changes.

But first: lunch.
