DRIVE
RECOVERY STATUS
The recovered disk has been examined and looks in
generally positive shape to attempt a full asset recovery.
Melanie from AVN
has worked heavily with the recovered asset drive on a process to bring the
recovered assets back online.
ASSET
SERVER STATUS
In the last OpenSim developers meeting, Melanie from
AVN offered to contribute her FSasset service to OpenSimulator for use by
OSgrid.
This FSasset service provides similar asset service as the SRAS2
service previously used on OSgrid, as well as additional “large scale grid”
features.
She has also provided OSG a new asset server and database design to
make the best use of it.
As a result, both of the asset servers were taken
down to firmware and rebuilt from scratch.
Both asset servers are back in
service and Melanie and OSG are hammering away on them building out the new
asset services.
OSGRID
RESTART
OSgrid restart is getting closer but there is still no
specific date or ETA as we test this entirely “new new” asset service design and
associated asset recovery.
OSGRID
RESTRUCTURING
Discussions held around consolidating infrequently
used plazas on a simulator that can load from a selection of oar files as
needed, such as for specific events.
Some experiments on OAR loading,
merging, and moving for this capability were successful.
More news once
additional planning and testing has been done and final decisions can be
made.
SPECIAL
THANKS
OSgrid would like to offer thanks to everyone such as
Melanie, Justin, Diva, our supporters, and everyone who has gotten behind OSgrid
during this catastrophe.
The assistance, the patience, and the good wishes
are all very much the rays of light we need to keep pushing forward in an
otherwise very awful time.
Thank you all!
