Heads up. I've asked Vincent to find out the hostname for the new
nvidia machine and then set up the Otto node.

  - Spent a good portion of it trying to track down why the
outbound/inbound network connection was/is so slow; we still don't have
the cause identified but I am relatively certain it it on our side of
the link.

  - Worked with Brad to make sure (most) of the kernel test machines we
up and operational. We have one machine that cannot be seen on the
network or be see from the network. We will replace the patch cable for
it tomorrow morning.

  - Have designated a machine to replace dx-autopilot-nvidia; it has the
base OS on it but probably needs Didier to go over it to make sure it
has everything he needs before adding it q-jenkins as a slave node.

  - Worked with Diogo to make sure the MaaS stack was accessible and
that he had the information he needed to perform his testing.

  - Had to disconnect the iSCSI luns from s-jenkins and q-jenkins
servers (which necessitated bringing down the jenkins instances) to
remap/remount them after the network interface(s) on the switch for the
storage server were disabled. Went ahead and updated jenkins plugins
while the jenkins services were down. They are back in an operational state.

  - Started working on setting up the Nagios server but other events
consumed too much of my time for me to make much progress there.

  - Rick picked up the Armada from Lex, a few additional components from
the desktop cases, and the other kernel team server and delivered them
to 1SS. not sure if he got the Armada set up but, if he didn't, that
should be able to happen first thing on Tuesday.

For tomorrow, Rick and I will continue to see if we can track down the
cause of the network slowness. I will complete whatever work Didier
needs of me on dx-autopilot-nvidia and get that added to the pool. I
will also work on the finishing up the kernel team hardware for Brad and
continue on the Nagios server some more time permitting.
