--[[User:Kevinb456|Kevinb456]] 19:37, 29 November 2010 (UTC)</div>Kevinb456https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/w/index.php?title=Pledge:_Bike_Chain&diff=8633Pledge: Bike Chain2011-01-12T01:11:19Z<p>Kevinb456: /* Suggested */ Adding padlock option.</p>
<hr />
<div>== What? ==<br />
7m of secure chain + 2 padlocks. <br />
<br />
When I measured between the balcony ends it was 7.17m so if you want the chain to fit and to have enough on the end to loop the ends round and padlock them your going to need 8m. --[[User:JasperWallace|JasperWallace]] 16:22, 11 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Why? == <br />
To allow bikes to be securely stored outside of the hackspace, on the front balcony. Currently unless you have an insanely large lock it is impossible to store a bike on the front balcony; storing bikes on the back balconies leads to problems moving bikes through the space and storing bikes inside is not really a good long term option when space is at a premium (and there is a risk of sharp objects being left on the floor eg screws). <br />
<br />
The chain would be stretched between two of the uprights on the outside of the balcony and secured using padlocks, the keys for which would be kept in the space. The chain could then be used as a railing to attach locks to. Further padlocks can be added to create loops if people feel added security is needed (these would force both ends of the chain or at least each loop and one end to be compromised before a bike could be stolen). <br />
<br />
== Suggested == <br />
There are several options depending on how much people want to spend and how concerned about security you are. <br />
[http://www.chain-supplies.co.uk Chain-supplies] are the current best option as they will sell cut lengths (know a better source? add it!).<br />
They sell 3 types of security chain (ie insurance grade):<br />
* [http://www.chain-supplies.co.uk/Boron-Security-Chain.html 6mm] (£8.66/m or £60.62 for 7m) <br />
* [http://www.chain-supplies.co.uk/Boron-Security-Chain-6mm.html 8mm] (£13.73/m or £96.11 for 7m) <br />
* [http://www.chain-supplies.co.uk/Boron-Security-Chain-10-mm.html 13mm] (£36.00/m or £252 for 7m) <br />
<br />
Padlocks - again huge range of cost/type; these locks are, I think, the best size as they should give a tight fit to the (13mm) chain (both have inner diameters of >26mm):<br />
* The simple: [http://www.chain-supplies.co.uk/Abus-45mm-Padlock-AB-65-4534.html Abus padlock] (50mm width made from brass and hardened steel) from chain supplies is £11.52 cost for 2: £23.04<br />
* The medium-price: [http://www.flashlight-heaven.co.uk/shop/squire-stronghold-ss65e-ss65s-open-shackle-65mm-padlock-p-141.html Squire Stronghold SS65 padlock] - CEN 5 rated. Very good lock, I can get these for £25. '''Disclaimer''': This is my own shop listing! I am listing these for my brother who bought a job-lot of 25 of these locks. He will let me have some for cost price. (RRP is £85 so this is better than locksmiths can buy them for wholesale!) I only know a minimal amount about locks, but I would say this is better than the Granit padlock. Cost for 2: £50<br />
* The expensive: [http://www.chain-supplies.co.uk/GRANIT-37-55-Padlock.html Granit padlock] (insurance grade) is £72 cost for 2: £144<br />
<br />
== What should we buy? ==<br />
Is something being discussed on the mailing list - go there to follow/contribute.<br />
<br />
* cheap: 7m of 6mm chain + 2xAbus padlocks = £83.66 + p&p<br />
* expensive: 7m of 13mm chain + 2xGranit locks = £396 + p&p<br />
* any further padlocks wanted for loops<br />
<br />
== Pledges ==<br />
* £20 [[User: SamLR | SamLR]]<br />
* £20 [[User:ciaran.mooney | Ciarán]]<br />
* £10 [[User:Kevinb456|Kevin]]<br />
<br />
Running total: '''£50'''<br />
<br />
Approximate target: '''£??''' (Depends on what security of chain/lock we go for)</div>Kevinb456https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/w/index.php?title=User:Kevinb456&diff=7842User:Kevinb4562010-12-21T22:31:21Z<p>Kevinb456: Added small bit of traffic light info</p>

<br />
=== Auction template ===<br />
We should have a template to use for the auctions, containing all the common information.<br />
Feedback from various people, to incorporate in the template text;<br />
<br />
From Mike Harrison:<br />
<pre><br />
[Quick comments on ebay listings from a seasoned ebayer<br />
<br />
Specify pick-up location a bit more specifically - London is a big place, also specify possible<br />
pickup times, and emphasise pickup only in the listing text in big letters.<br />
<br />
Just copy & pasting manufacturers blurb with no additional info looks bad, especially for a<br />
zero-feedback seller - to instil some more confidence add a line or two about who you are & where<br />
kit has come from - not specific, just that it's a donated bulk lot from a working environment or<br />
similar.<br />
<br />
And add an 'about me' page.<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
In that vein, it might be worth adding some background i.e. donated by last.fm, maybe a link to the hackspace, explain the good cause, etc.<br />
<br />
On IRC:<br />
<pre><br />
<aden> we probably should have bough tsome stuff on ebay to get feeback too, nobody is going to bid on a 0 feedback seller<br />
<Paul2> yeah 0 feedback 'hack' in the seller name. 1 line desciption. LOOKS LEGIT @@@@@<br />
<jontyw> I'm also not sure that we should be selling seven monitors in one batch, it's MUCH better to just have "7 available"<br />

If you would like to help out with any of the below contact martind, roberthl or Jasperw. Most of these tasks don't really require any particular skills, we can show you how it's done.<br />
<br />
* Auctions<br />
** Monitors are ready for auction, we set up two test auctions. Will do the rest on Tuesday<br />
** Server auction will either start Tuesday, or the weekend after<br />
** Need someone to be at the space when buyers come for pickup<br />
** Robert/martind have access to the Ebay account, and TurboLister<br />
* Servers<br />
** Need catalogue of all server classes. See ServerClassTemplate below<br />
** Need catalogue of all servers. See ServerTemplate below<br />
** Need to match server classes to types of rack mounts (and maybe even set them all up.)<br />
* Hard disks:<br />
** Need to dban all drives (in full progress, may take a few more days)<br />
** Need catalogue of all HDs (save ones we're putting in servers)<br />
** Need to switch some caddies for SCSI/SATA drives (not enough machines for certain kinds of caddies)<br />
<br />

9600 8N1 for the serial<br />
<br />
The one that I ([[User:JasperWallace]]) am using for netbooting stuff will have 'hackspace' as every password.<br />
<br />
It will be on network range 10.192.38.0/24, it will be 10.192.38.1, it has unrestricted snmp access on the public community.<br />
<br />
== NetBoot Server ==<br />
<br />
It's 'C1'.<br />
<br />
running debian 5.0.6<br />
<br />
* eth0 - unused (single socket)<br />
* eth1 is on the hackspace lan and is 172.31.24.164 (assumes dhcp is stable!) (right hand of double socket when viewed from the back)<br />
* eth2 is on the netboot lan, 10.192.38.2 (left hand, yellow cable atm).<br />
<br />
<br />
* 9600 8N1 on both serial ports.<br />
* password is hackspace<br />
<br />
See [[LfmHardwareAuction/NetBootServer]] for more details<br />
<br />
== Drives ==<br />
<br />
All drives need to be cleared with dban before we do anything else. This is well in progress.<br />
<br />
=== Howto ===<br />
<br />
Better descriptions to follow.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<Jasperw> go to desk<br />
<Jasperw> look at monitor<br />
<Jasperw> trace monitor cable<br />
<Jasperw> switch attached machine off<br />
<Jasperw> remove all drives from machine<br />
<Jasperw> put drives in one of the 'done' boxes. NOT the dead drive box (unless the drives are dead)<br />
<Jasperw> if drives have long thin connector (SCA SCSI) then leave machine off and go back to whatever you where doing (We're pretty much done with the SCa ones).<br />
<Jasperw> of they have a sata connector then find some more sata drives on the shelves (not in the boxes).<br />
<Jasperw> plug 4 x drives into machine.<br />
<br />
<SpikeUK> Jasperw - I've found three drives kicking about on shelf - can you direct me to another likely source please?<br />
<Jasperw> SCA or SATA?<br />
<Jasperw> there should be more drives on the shelves, you just have to look around.<br />
<SpikeUK> S<br />
<SpikeUK> Jasperw - sorry SATA<br />
<Jasperw> you might need to remove them from one of the other types of caddy.<br />
<SpikeUK> Jasperw - OK<br />
<Jasperw> and put them into whatever is the right caddy type for the machine thats free for wipeing.#<br />
<br />
<SpikeUK> Jasperw - machine is now fitted with four new drives (in same slots that others came from)<br />
<Jasperw> ok, power it on and, depending on what machine type it is, you'll need to work out how to get into the raid controller setup and configure the drives as single disks or JBOD.<br />
<martind> SpikeUK: is it a machine in the left or right-hand rack?<br />
<SpikeUK> martind - right hand rack<br />
<martind> alt+3 to start RAID setup during boot<br />
<martind> then clear all <br />
<martind> (select all disks, then "clear")<br />
<martind> then set up new ones<br />
<martind> one by one<br />
<martind> select spare disk, "create", which takes you to an "accept" screen<br />
<martind> four times<br />
<martind> then f8 to finish & reboot <br />
<br />
<SpikeUK> martind - ok machine rebooting. Only 3 o4 4 drives was recognised. What do I want to boot into?<br />
<martind> SpikeUK: may be worth investigating the dead drive<br />
<martind> e.g. check the LEDs<br />
<Jasperw> dban autonuke on the netboot menu<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== Etc ===<br />
<br />
On IRC:<br />
{blockquote}<br />
Olfin> Are there any plans to harvest the rare earth metal magnets from the dead drives? THey're rather useful!<br />
{blockquote}<br />
<br />
== Servers ==<br />
<br />
=== Howto ===<br />
<br />
All servers have been assigned a hardware class, based on their type. (Double-check when you process a machine.) That way we only have to document the basic hardware once.<br />
<br />
# open machine, check that is has<br />
#* ram<br />
#* sata cables (some machines have had the sata cables removed)<br />
#* and that all (or at least some) of the drive bays connected (some machines have had there controller card removed so they won't talk to any drives!)<br />
# if all is ok connect up the machine and boot it.<br />
<br />
To determine hardware spec:<br />
* plug in monitor & keyboard<br />
* Boot up, check the BIOS diagnostics <br />
* OR while dbanning: ctrl-alt-f5 to start a shell (will only show 900MB of RAM)<br />
<br />
And then:<br />
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | less<br />
$ cat /proc/meminfo | less<br />
<br />
See also: [http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Understanding_proc_cpuinfo.html Understanding /proc/cpuinfo]<br />
<br />
General hardware lister:<br />
$ lshw | less<br />
<br />
For DIMM layout (and to identify dead DIMMs), motherboard manufacturer etc:<br />
$ dmidecode | less<br />
<br />
For RAID controller info and other peripherals:<br />
$ dmesg | less<br />
<br />

<br />
Check that the Option ROM's for the onboard nics are enabled, something like BIOS -> advanced options -> PCI & devices config -> and then you can enable the rooms.<br />
