Systems

Sunday, 28.02.2005

Here's where you can find information on one of my most obsessive works of computer administration: my internal network.

It's pretty much where my life's gone. I don't particularly miss the outside.

To make sure you aren't getting the wrong idea, these are all scavenged systems. People give me their old computers 'n such, or I find them in the dumpster, or I find them in some place that needs a home. I haven't spent much on this setup, mainly only the network switches and cable.

Main Server Cluster - Network Ichika

Diskless Cluster - Network Yggdrasil

802.11b - Network Narue

802.11a/g - Network MayuMayu

Desktop Workstation Computer

Most of the time, the Yggdrasil cluster is off except for nenene, who is another fileserver. I couldn't afford the bill if they were all on all the time.

I name my systems after anime characters in the various series I've seen. They're all like that, e.g., Yagi isn't named after the antenna type.

Here's a pretty network map for you to gaze at:

Here's a picture of my desktop computers, mitsuki, hiyori, and shirayuki:

Here's a picture of the front rack (computers mainly in ichika's area, with the fileserver skuld missing -- that's the big gap):

Here's a picture of the back rack and most of the Yggdrasil cluster:

I'll get around to writing detailed writeups for the systems soon -- look forward to komugi's, reverie's, iriya's, koyori's, and kanna's.

Anyone who can identify all the characters and their respective series earns a cookie.
