Hello yall! |

This is half-topic but I think everyone will benefit from the results. |

Here at my company we have 18 Gentoo servers spread over 3 data |
6 |
centers and our office. We have well defined and time-proven (one of |
7 |
the servers was installed in 2004 and it's still the same Gentoo) |
8 |
processes on monitoring, backup, applying security fixes, and |
9 |
maintenance. We have almost 100% of high availability and some |
10 |
services even have high availability across different data centers in |
11 |
Florida and California. We are using catalyst with cfengine to save us |
12 |
a few hours of work every week and everything is working great. |

14 |
I would like to move forward to some other projects but most of the |
15 |
knowledge (60%) required to do everything resides on my head alone. |
16 |
I'm hit by a car in the streets and something might go bad, like the |
17 |
required monthly database partition maintenance. |

I would like to hear from the list what you are using for |
20 |
infrastructure, software, processes, hardware documentation. I think I |
21 |
need a system with a good user access control, an all-in-one solution |
22 |
to document everything. Using Wiki+UML would solve the issue (I have |
23 |
30% already documented in wikis) but (a) none of them were designed |
24 |
for this specific task and (b) they don't integrate, people would have |
25 |
to use two systems that knows nothing about each other. |

What are you gurus doing to be replaceable? |

Thank you very much in advance! |
