SSL Machines

The Scalable Systems Lab machine room is organized into 4 active racks, Kwik-E Mart, Phoenix, Springfield Elementary, and Spiders, along with a rack for containing miscellaneous hangers-on, Moe's Tavern. Long term, all machines will be NATed behind APU, which will provide user maintenance via LDAP, DHCP, DNS, PXEBOOT, NTP, and research directory disk service to the rest of the lab. This is currently the case for the Kwik-E mart and Springfield Elementary racks; the Phoenix and Spider racks, however, currently sit off the main departmental CS switch and are accessible from any UNM departmental machine.

Be advised that these are experimental machines. In particular, none of the disks on any of these machines are backed up. Users are responsible for making sure that their data is safe; rsync can be used to copy out to a CS department machine that is backed up, and source-code control systems (e.g. CVS, Subversion, Mercurial) are available.

Policies that apply to the machine room and its hardware are here.

IP address spaces are DHCP-allocated by rack/switch.

Only IP addresses 10.0.X.240/28 are potentially forwardable to the outside the lab to the rest of the CS department. If you need a machine to provide a service (e.g. web interface, ssh, etc.) outside the department, please put it in this IP range.

These machines typically use DHCP, don't provide any general services and aren't addressable remotely.
