Nagios 2.6 and check_hpjd, Dell servers in an instrument rack, and network storage

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Some of the jet direct emulation daemons on Kyocera Mitas are not compatible with the check_hpjd nagios plugin. I spent some time revamping our SNMP checks for certain printers - I have not yet fished, but am definitely making progress.

I ordered a server & rack extensions [plus round -> square hole converters] for one of our faculty members wanting to drop a Dell server in an instrument rack (25″ deep), this should be fun / interesting.

I’ve been spending a lot of time “putting out fires”, and resolving rt requests this week. Tomorrow night we’ll be migrating our storage from a local array to DCS network storage. This should be a major relief to our backup system.
