RFC: Making changes to secondary

[Stephen John Smoogen]

Ok currently secondary01 is a system with a large amount of diskspace
used by what looks like cruft. There is a very old version of archived
data and there is our secondary architecture items. What I would like
to do is

a) move that data to the netapp,
b) create a new secondary02.phx2 which would mount the netapp and
would allow writing to it
c) move secondary.fedoraproject.org to be an alias to the download servers.
d) make changes in mirrormanager.

This will have the advantage that we will be able to use both mirror
systems on I2 and I1 for this.. it also moves secondary to a larger
faster disk structure. Things I need help with

a) how does sparc, ia64, arm, mips, ppc sync onto this system. There
is no running script that I can find for it.
b) what am I missing in the above.

I guess this is already done?

ok. secondary1 would then go away?

ok. Folks that need to write to it would use secondary02 to access it?

Not sure there. Dennis should know?

There is deltaiso creating happening on secondary1 right now, but I
think this should work ok with secondary02 as well.

Can't think of any other gotchas off hand.

I did an rsync. A second one will be needed to get it finished.

It woudl and secondary02 could be renamed as secondary1.

Correct. secondary02 would be exactly like secondary01 in puppet and
people could work on it equivalently.

Hopefully would happen a bit faster.. due to faster cpus.. but won't
know until tested.
