 1.1

Hello yall!

I tried sending this to the gluster-use ml, but didn't get any
answer... I wonder why...

Here at my company we have 18 Gentoo servers spread over 3 data
centers and our office. We have well defined and time-proven (one of
the servers was installed in 2004 and it's still the same Gentoo)
processes on monitoring, backup, applying security fixes, and
maintenance. We have almost 100% of high availability and some
services even have high availability across different data centers in
Florida and California. We are using catalyst with cfengine to save us
a few hours of work every week and everything is working great.

I would like to move forward to some other projects but most of the
knowledge (60%) required to do everything resides on my head alone.
I'm hit by a car in the streets and something might go bad, like the
required monthly database partition maintenance.

I would like to hear from the list what you are using for
infrastructure, software, processes, hardware documentation. I think I
need a system with a good user access control, an all-in-one solution
to document everything. Using Wiki+UML would solve the issue (I have
30% already documented in wikis) but (a) none of them were designed
for this specific task and (b) they don't integrate, people would have
to use two systems that knows nothing about each other.

What are you cluster guys doing to be replaceable?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Daniel Colchete
