The first thing I need to do this year is finish getting my production network in order.
- Document the existing production network.
Status: This has been completed. Well as completed as such a thing can be. It will always be in flux. Please see http://wiki.knownelement.com/index.php/Network_Stuff for details. It’s a very long page, and is quite thorough.
- Backups and restores
Status: This is now completed. The production server, production server replica and development server is backed up to an external USB drive on a nightly basis. Home directories and system configuration (/etc and all mysql databases). Cisco gear is backed up nightly via rancid.
- Redo development rack wiring from scratch and clean up office.
A few months ago Rufus and I redid the rack from scratch. Very happy with the layout (documented at the above wiki link), but the wiring leaves a bit to be desired.
Status: Completed.
- The production Ethernet and power has now been cleaned up. Much better then before. Liberal use of zipties, and more slack.
- Dev wiring is completed.
- Cleaned up office and outside storage space. I can now find things very quickly.
