These machines are in the CDOT area on the first floor of the TEL building.
Contents
Ground Rules
- Take responsibility for your actions.
- Don't blow up other people's stuff.
- Don't count on other people not blowing up your stuff.
- Don't turn these machines off.
- Before rebooting, check with the other logged-in users, and check on #seneca on IRC.
- Work under your own account, using root as sparingly as possible. If you need additional accounts, create them, but put your name in the comment (GCOS) field.
- Don't create public services.
Machine names, IPs, and Status
Please update this information as you work on the machines' configuration.
Hostname | Type | Location | IP | Status | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
australia | PC - Quad Core, 8GB, 1TB | Replaced the southerly 32bit machine | 142.204.133.24 | Fedora 10 x86_64 installed with kvm, devtools, etc. |

Tip:
These hostnames have all been added to the cdot.proximity.on.ca
domain for convenience. If you add that domain to your search domains in your DNS configuration, you can refer to the CDOT hosts by name. If you are using Linux or Mac OSX, you can add a search domain in your /etc/resolv.conf file by editing the search line:
search whatever.was.already.here.com cdot.proximity.on.ca
Alternately, you can append the machine names and IPs to the hosts file (/etc/hosts
on Linux and Mac OSX, c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
on Windows) -- do not delete the existing contents of that file, just add this text:
# CDOT host file - from http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php?title=CDOT_Development_Systems - 2008.11.05 version: 142.204.133.122 spain 142.204.133.36 china 142.204.133.123 liberia 142.204.133.124 newzealand 142.204.133.121 easterisland 142.204.133.26 ireland 142.204.133.24 korea 142.204.133.28 zambia
After doing this, you can access the machines by name: ssh userid@liberia
Equipment
- X PCs - quad-core, 8GB RAM, 1TB disk
- Four PCs - quad-core, 4GB RAM, 500GB disk, dual 22" displays on each
- Two Mac Minis - dual-core, 2GB RAM, 120GB disk + external drive, 24" displays
Goals
- On most of the 64-bit PCs:
- Install the current version of Fedora as the base OS
- Install virtual machines for:
- Windows Vista
- Windows XP SP3
- Some PCs will have Windows XP/Vista installed as the base OS (for high-performance video access, i.e., Canvas3D)
- Install the toolchain(s) required (e.g., for Mozilla development - Win/Linux/Mac)
PC Partitioning
500GB Drives
Drives are ~500 GB:
- Partition 1: 150 GB NTFS containing XP SP2
- Partition 2: 100 GB NTFS containing Vista
- Partition 3: 100 MB Linux boot partition
- Partition 4: Extended partition
- Partitions 5-9: 50 GB Linux LVM PVs (last one will be smaller)
Linux LVM LV layout:
- 50 GB / filesystem (ext3)
- 80 GB /home filesystem (ext3)
- 50 GB /var filesystem
1TB Drives
Drives are ~1000 GB:
- Partition 1: 200 MB ext3 /boot
- Partition 2: 200 MB ext3 /boot2
- Partition 3: 200GB LVM PV
- Partition 4: Extended partition
- Partitions 5-9: 200GB LVM PV (last one sized as needed)
Linux LVM LV layout:
- 50 GB / filesystem (ext3)
- 50 GB /home filesystem (ext3)
- 50 GB /var filesystem
- 8 GB swap filesystem
Software to be installed
(Remember, other tools can be added later!)
- Build tools required for Mozilla build (Win/Linux/Mac). NOTE: use VS.NET Pro on Win32 vs. Express
