How to set up new Colo machines:
The short form is, "fill out the Colo questionnaire linked to above and mail it to DOST. Then, give them hardware." Some notes on this process and how to answer the questions:
- DOST wants the questionnaire filled in and returned as a Microsoft Word document, not plaintext.
- The billing contact for ISDA machines is generally Holly Bickle. The cost center to which to bill the charges varies widely, though; ask Catherine what to use.
- We've been buying the new Dell servers with basic 5x10 hardware support.
- Our standard physical access list is: amb, dracus, ghudson, iannuzzo, rbasch, with zips as a general email contact for the machines and Catherine as a phone contact.
When you've done that, add the machine to the list here.
