Revision as of 23:00, 16 January 2009

These machines are in the CDOT area on the first floor of the TEL building.

Ground Rules

  1. Take responsibility for your actions.
  2. Don't blow up other people's stuff.
  3. Don't count on other people not blowing up your stuff.
  4. Don't turn these machines off.
  5. Before rebooting, check with the other logged-in users, and check on #seneca on IRC.
  6. 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.
  7. Don't create public services.

Machine names, IPs, and Status

Please update this information as you work on the machines' configuration.

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
  • PuTTY on WinXP/Vista
  • Current version of FF2 and TB

Mac installed software

  • Xcode3.0
  • fink - (http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php)

    • . /sw/bin/pathsetup.sh
    • fink selfupdate-cvs
    • fink install orbit orbit-dev
    • sudo apt-get glib

Computer setup

Windows setup

  1. I used CPUID to discover the motherboard
  2. Install ethernet drivers (Installed PRO2KXP.exe -- Ver:12.4 -- Date:2/24/2008 -- Size:11414 KB)
  3. http://www.windowsupdate.com until you get all updates
