Thread: Borg
Now that wwwmaster is running on it's new host, is there anything left on borg that we need to keep? If not, I propose we ask Gavin to upgrade it to FreeBSD 6, and set it up as a static web mirror. Regards, Dave.

I say go for it. But we probably want it set up for VMs again, right, and just one VM with a static mirror? Or did you mean we should have just the static mirror on the root? //Magnus

I'm not going to be at the data center to do a complete format/reinstall for some time. Is there a way to upgrade via root shell, or should I see about having someone doing it for me?

I'd think we ideally need a clean install given the issues we've had recently which I doubt can be done via a root shell. Is there any cost implication for you to have someone to do a basic install? If so, I'm sure we can wait, but if not, we'd just need a basic install to get in remotely from where one of us can take over. Regards, Dave.

I'll see about having someone do a fresh install, will let you know an eta. I just moved from the west coast to the east coast so driving to the data center is no longer an option. :| On 4/17/07, Stefan Kaltenbrunner <stefan@kaltenbrunner.cc> wrote: > Dave Page wrote: > > Gavin M.

I'm mostly certain that is not possible to do it remotely, except if you have a DRAC or similar ... I had tried this once on my desktop, and the results were anything but bootable :) Thank god I put everything on my desktop onto seperate file systems and could still installed easily via CD ...
