     13* Wynton downtime
     14  - Probably will have a 5 day Wynton down time the week of October 14 to run fsck file system check.

     16* Endowed chair
     17  - Search committee to hire for RBVI endowed chair is being formed, Tom Ferrin is committee chair.
     18  - Letter written to get Chancellor's approval for endowed chair.  Describes position as bioviz and informatics and software development.

     20* Plato cluster local disk
     21  - We have ordered a networke attached storage (NAS) device for 4 plato nodes to use for web hosting, web services, Trac, mail and other /usr/local stuff.
     22  - The hope is that moving these off the Wynton beegfs file system will avoid downtimes effecting these services.
     23  - Synology Rackstation RS3621xs+1, 12 bays
     24  - Ordered three 4 TByte ssd drives that arrived today and will use 4 existing SSD drives from plato nodes to create Raid 6 array plus one spare drive, 20 Tbytes storage
     25  - Extra 5 drives can be purchased for snapshots
     26  - NAS has 2 10 Gbit/sec ethernet connections.
     27  - Scooter will try to use 2 x 10Gbit/s bonded but probably our switch won't handle that with copper.  So maybe will use one 10 Gbit/s each to 2 nodes.
     28  - Will try to increase the 8 GB of cache memory with old plato memory (1.2 TB available).
     29  - Can also use two NVME slots for cache on NAS.
     30  - Will mount by NFS with caching on NAS and client nodes.
     31  - NAS file system is btrfs, we are not familiar with.
     32  - Scooter and Greg will test and migrate databases, mailman, web server, web services, trac in November to December time frame.
     33  - Home directories stay on Wynton beegfs for simplicity.
