Well, I made notable progress at work today. Joshua and I got MacOS X installed on all but 5 of the 64 computers located in our computer labs. The Red lab went fairly smoothly, but the Green lab sucked. A quarter or a third of the machines in the Green lab had issues getting the OS installed from CD and required cloning a portable drive to get them going. Unfortunately, we only have one portable drive like that, so it took quite a while.
The radmind server held up well. I watched the load and when building the Red lab, the load average peaked at 2.50. For some reason, it hit 7.50 or so when we were building the Green lab. In any case, I don’t think it’ll have a problem handling the load of 80 or so machines by itself for a while. Today was the tough one, as the lab computers had to pull down about 3GB each from the server.
Tomorrow we tackle the Ed Tech Center. That’s going to be even more fun, since we have to set up the new computers before building them. Hopefully they don’t have issues with the software loadset. Hopefully I get some free time tomorrow too … today I left for work at 9:30am and returned home at 8:30pm. I need zzzzzz…..
