Hi guys, To re-locate RRC08, do we need any re-installation or not? Is changing IP config either at old or new location enough?

i think i can do this. i'm working with the paix people now.
That's great :-) OK, please let me know if you need anything from me.
I'd think that we have to prepare reconfiguration, shutdown @ MAE-W, shipping to PAIX etc. ourselves first, Henk

Changing the IP config is sufficient. Related question: with a new location, should rrc08 become rrc$NEXTNUM ? --==-- Bruce.

OK.

I would rather like to keep it as it's and put some note on the WEB page saying, it's changed from MAE-West to PAIX. Arife

Ok. We can do the ip config change from here (if we have the details now), or ISC can do it (we need to set the root password to something safe). --==-- Bruce.

OK, when we come to that stage, I'll arrange those with you guys. Arife

I think we had this discussion before re: rrc09, and then we came to a different conclusion. At least, we should be consequent in order to cause minimal confusion. What changed? Cheers, Matthew

What is now RRC12 was a new box installed in a new location. RRC08 is only being moved. So I suppose you get to change the number only if you simultaneously change city AND hardware. ;-) Cheers, Lorenzo -- --------------------------------------------------------- Lorenzo Colitti Ph.D student Computer Networks research group Roma Tre University colitti@dia.uniroma3.it +39-0655173215 ---------------------------------------------------------

rrc09 was bit different than rrc08. rrc09 did not have DB, rrc08 has and I like to continue to use the same DB when it moves to PAIX. And purpose of rrc08 was getting the view from West Coast and we will be available still at the West Coast. I do not think it's useful to split rawdata just because we will change IX at the same area. Arife

Sorry, I don't see your point. This case is exactly the same as with rrc09: Based on the principle that an integer relates to a particular collection point irrespective of hardware, then keeping the same number doesn't make sense, and might even cause confusion among RIS users. At first _I_ didn't agree, but Rene and Lorenzo managed to convince me that they were right ;) Cheers, Matthew

I do not think it would cause confusion. Anyway, when we do the changes, we should tell our users rrc08 is moved to PAIX because of not enough peers at MAE-West.

What about if they _don't_ get the message? Please, Arife... Forget about the dbase naming schema. If I download raw data from repository for rrc08, it should only contain data from peers at Mae-West. Nothing else. Anything else would be confusing to the user, who isn't going to keep track of when rrc08 was moved to another location. So we decommision rrc08 (only the name, not hw) at the Mae-West, move the hw to Paix as rrcwhatever. Now the user only needs to know that rrc08 data is from peers at the Mae-West, and rrcwhatever from peers at Paix. The hardware is the same, but the _purpose_ of the hw is completely different. Renaming the box makes that _very_ clear to the user. Ask James when he gets back from hols. I'm sure he'll agree :) Cheers, Matthew

I agree: 08 is the collection point MAE-West, 14 will be the collection point at PAIX. They have nothing to do with eachother. Last time I checked, we still had enough integers to rename a machine. Henk

Sure, especially if you have time on your hands, however, I think you'll find that they'll agree with Henk, Rene, Lorenzo and myself. Cheers, Matthew
