We
hope you had a happy holidays and a merry Christmas, Boxing Day, or other time
of celebration.
Despite
the holidays and large case of Real Life Interference, some progress was still
made this week.
DRIVE
RECOVERY STATUS
We expect the data center to receive the recovered drive once
the recovery service and data center staff return from holiday breaks in early
January.
ASSET
SERVER STATUS
After numerous attack attempts were detected against both asset
servers, additional extensive hardening steps have been taken, delaying database
and asset server work. In practical terms, almost 200 recommended security
configurations on both asset servers were checked and reconfigured as necessary
including full patching and verified reboots.
OSGRID
RESTART
Two major steps remain to restart OSgrid:
1. Start the database
replication
2. Start the asset server
Both
of these steps require a number of specific reconfigurations and new tuning from
the previous OSgrid configuration, which require a number of deliberate
discussions before each step of the implementation.
OSGRID
RESTRUCTURING
No discussions on this were taken during the holidays.
We
hope you have a safe and happy New Year's Eve and we're all looking forward to a
great new year for OpenSimulator and OSgrid!
Next
Expected Update 2015-Jan-04 or 05.
