DRIVE
RECOVERY STATUS
With the holiday breaks behind us, we expect the data center
to receive the recovered drive from the recovery service soon, but do not have
an ETA yet. We hope to have an ETA or the drive itself before the next
update.
ASSET
SERVER STATUS
Both new asset servers were fully configured and brought online
temporarily working as a master-master replication pair.
This was the first
full-scale test of the new database replication, robust
xassetservice/hgassetservicece and nginx all together, and it was more
successful than we'd hoped.
The database, asset server, and nginx all started
together without error, and successfully replicated assets from master to slave
in both directions.
This means that asset transactions will be replicated in
real-time to the standby asset server, regardless of which server we're using to
serve assets.
The next tests involve loading a test copy of Wright Plaza,
testing from master to replica and back to master in both directions, checking
all OSgrid operators are happy with failover, failback, and that everyone is
satisfied the new asset server design will be able to handle the flood once the
gates are opened.
Some technical hurdles remain to be worked out and we're
consulting with core OpenSim developers as needed to remove these as OSgrid
comes online using an entire new asset service.
OSGRID
RESTART
OSgrid restart is getting closer but there is still no specific date
or ETA as we carefully test this entirely new asset service.
OSGRID
RESTRUCTURING
Restructuring discussions have begun with an eye to rebalancing
the plaza loadout, backups, and the various OSgrid services. At this stage its
more inventorying the existing resources and services, and scoping out what to
leave along and what should change for 2015 and beyond.
