Attended: drallen (project manager), dlgawley a2brenna fhgunn ldpaniak; gxshen arpepper were declared not necessary at this point (arpepper would have been, but he had emergencies to deal with).

• will be invited next time: Clayton, for discussion of yubi key setup.

Review of Objective, etc:

• Dave notes that we can buy one cluster in FY 2015-2016; 2nd cluster in 2016-2017, so we will start with the CS-GENERAL cluster. The TEACHING cluster will be purchased in the new FY and possibly deployed in the summer (much more rapidly).
• The planning document was scaled back to match.

Already under work:

• high-speed dedicated storage network (Devon/Dan/Lori)

Dave expects cluster deployment by the 3rd week of February: Work Breakdown Structure (Dave/Daniel) - draft is complete.

• PXE booting cluster
• create salt pillar to build and deploy 3 mysql nodes on hardware cluster (Anthony and Clayton)
• saltifying: mysql cluster backup (Anthony with Fraser)
  • Anthony says the cluster machines might be named mysql102, mysql104, mysql106 (see EnterpriseMysqlClusterProject20160127 for final names)

To be determined:

• what is the current resource usage of the CS-GENERAL cluster?

• is the scope reasonable, according to what Clayton has already done with yubikey cluster?
  • second meeting will involve Clayton.

Next meeting: 2pm Wed 27 January
