Agenda

Equinix Internet Schedule

Equinix Foundation has sponsored Internet connectivity. The connection is being installed more rapidly than expected.
Grant needs to test dual internet on the test Juniper EX4300 router.
DB4 has fibre modules already installed and will likely be the first location.

Other points mentioned during discussion

  • Equinix will probably have everything completed by end of next week.
  • Grant to test virtual routing setup with Raspberry Pis on different VLANs.
  • Amsterdam location needs new 10GB fiber modules, as we removed them when we did the conversion.
  • Grant has ordered modules from multiple suppliers for GBP 20 each to ensure getting genuine parts.
  • We got spare fiber patch leads in Dublin and they might even still be plugged in. We also should have spares in Amsterdam as well.

On Equinix subnets

  • We will get
    ** One subnet at /27, which will be covering the uplink.
    ** Second subnet at /30
  • While we could have the two subnets as a joined one, they do not recommend it, as it would become one broadcast domain.
  • There is no cost difference between a joined and two seperate subnets

AOB: Email to Rapid

''Dorothea reminded that there was an email received by OWG today about Rapid and they might want to reply.''

Paul is drafting a response email to Rapid with requirements.

AOB: AArnet servers

The service continues running past its original turn-off date, which was set because they believed we were not using it.

  • Service is not vital, low urgency.
  • Grant is communicating with people about potential hosting.

AOB: Upgrade of RAM in Lockheed

Issue:

  • We're hitting memory limits in Lockheed, which is a common issue with imagery machines.
  • Significant memory leak, as map service fast cgi handling is not designed to live for more than a couple of minutes.

Current status: Grant has put strict memory limits.

Other points mentioned during discussion

  • While we thought Lockheed would perform better than Kessie, it doesn't.
  • Grant has migranted all the imagery to Lockheed.

Suggestions:

  • Short term - upgrade from 64GB to 256GB RAM at cost of GBP 260.
  • Long term: replace map server - but requires reprocessing the imagery in COGs, which can takes weeks.

Next meeting

25 December - cancelled.
