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

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. I'm hit |
16 |
by a car in the streets and something might go bad, like the required |
17 |
monthly database partition maintenance. |

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

What are you gurus doing to be replaceable? |
