Roadmap
Details
| Task | Priority | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Test a Buildbot TryScheduler with MailNotifier. | Low | Getting errors from CVS. Need to e-mail the mailing list again. |
| Document all cluster machine tasks. | High | Ongoing |
| Create new windows images. | Low | Waiting for enough things to add to make it worthwhile. So far the following are needed:
|
| Real world IPs for all machines | High | Waiting on ITT |
| Investigate high latency on the cluster | Low | ACS did network upgrades on the cluster. This is tentatively solved. |
| Create clean images of commonly used machines. Ubuntu, Windows 2003, others? | Medium | Ubuntu images done. Not sure how to do Windows images yet because of product key issues. |
| Document the steps involved in making a generic VM. Pre-installed software should be included in this. | Medium | |
| Document the steps involved in bringing up a new VM. This should cover configuration changes as well as who needs to be notified. Is there a list of things that ACS needs yet? | Medium | |
| Find a better way to give VNC access to VMs. Ideally I want GDM running on a vnc port. | Medium | Justin is currently looking into this. |
| Find out why apache doesn't work through the initscripts on linux2 | Done | SELinux was the problem. Fixed by "setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans 1" |

- A redid the Ubuntu server generic image as an edgy install. Along with this I made notes about how to make a generic install. I will be doing an Ubuntu Desktop install shortly, but I'm waiting on Justin's stuff re: VNC.

- The cluster was down for maintenance recently. Some network upgrades were done at that time. Nobody has felt any lag since this happened. The cluster lag is *tentatively* solved.
