Re: builder setup

[Jim Pick]

Actually, the reboots were due to the fact the colo physically moved the
server between different sites.  They're moving everything from AboveNet
in San Jose to Market Post Tower in San Jose (home of MAE-West).  I had
an email about a week ago about the move, but I didn't know when they'd
actually do it until about an hour before they did it.  It seems to have
gone fairly smoothly though.  Some of the extra reboots were just
because I wanted to test to make sure the IPMI setup was working and I
could still access the BIOS.

Also, they're going to ask us to switch to new IP addresses in a month
or so.

I do want to upgrade to Xen 3.0 sometime in the future.  I don't think
I'll have time for that until after the holidays though.

Overall, I think things have been pretty stable.  :-)

Cheers,

 - Jim
