Hydra:
Had to redo partitions (add filesystem then mount)
Didn't work cause we were one letter off
Then we created pools with zpools (had to write nothing to all partitions)

MAKE IT A VISUAL TREE (an idea to demonstrate my capstone)
Have the root be a network, and it's children the most important things for the network (dns, firewall, other) with their own branches (firewall -> ip tables)
It can be an animation/program
Aaah

someone cant talk to prometheus or red drawf
I couldnt even ping with prometheus.cslabs.clarkson.edu

went down to COLO and OIT and talked to Joshua and another guy and saw that they have given us the connection (to the internet)
Scar — 02/13/2023 2:04 PM
Red Dwarf and Prometheus were down. Went in to see that it might just be the ethernet connection causing it. I saw that the m3 and m2 switch cable were not connected to the private switch. I connected those and made sure the lights were going up on the switch. Now to try to ping

Another Destination Host Unreachable
List of strategies:
plug into my computer and use `nmap`` and find ip address
hook up to monitor and "hack" in

back to red dwarf and m3 switch. Switch doesnt seem connected to the internet either
learned how to test cables, which is usually the issue

Jonathan helped me find the ips of the switches, I realized it was on zones
another email needing those servers (red dwarf and prometheus since they are research servers)
Scar — 02/16/2023 1:53 PM
I remember what I can do, its the same thing as when I was working on Ziltoid:
When it couldnt connect to the internet, but we needed to use a switch, we used a direct ethernet connection so we
didnt depend on other connections that it didnt have
I can't get into m3 to check the vlans, but if I could just use a direct connection, then I should be able to ping and get onto the GUI in the browser
I will have to try it out
Scar — 02/19/2023 2:19 PM
talking to Jonathan about which vlans on m3 go where
Scar — 02/20/2023 2:11 PM
getting the hardware for "wave 4" (I was previously calling steps in the plan of this capstone waves. Wave 4 is for when all the hardware is in and we move the servers around)
switch is not the right model
got the transceiver modules (these go on the end of cables to plug into our fiber switches)

noticed book (cosi documentation) changes were never built in the docker
Scar — 02/20/2023 2:40 PM
trying to get hydra vms back up, but the ssh -X hydra virt-manager
(virt-manager) keeps crashing
Scar — 02/20/2023 2:54 PM
IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS BACKSPACING TOO MANY TIMES (I later found a better command to do to what I wanted)
Scar — 02/23/2023 5:16 PM
turns out it was the correct switch (see above)
Scar — 02/24/2023 3:42 PM
got onto switch 3 config via ethernet to computer connection (was almost about to mess up switch 4)
going to check out the vlans and see what is wrong (in the config (If I remember correctly))

Reorganizing the cables to make the port set up easier
Scar — 02/27/2023 8:09 PM
Jonathan not giving me credit smh (not a big deal. It was in reference to working on the research machines, but he did do the majority of it)
Scar — 02/28/2023 1:43 PM
someone wants to donate to COSI. He said it was an old machine, but still a beef boy. I directed him to our documentation for him to look at

looking at throughput
I have this idea of an influxdb page for monitoring this type of data
https://www.ittsystems.com/network-throughput/#wbounce-modal
Scar — 02/28/2023 6:36 PM
doesnt seem like we can get an accurate measure of throughput until I am on the network, which the wifi is down rn
