The installation team is going to meet this week to talk about the actual topology of the proposed network set up at Lutheran Social Services. Hopefully by the time of this meeting, the hard drives will be in to set up RAID in both the Cent OS box and the MS Server box. Four identical hard drives will be used in each machine that is going to be set up for RAID 5. Each hard drive should be about 37 GB so we should be looking at about 100 GB of actual available space after the server is configured and setup is complete.
There are some concerns with the deployment of the machines because there are no racks that are provided for the servers to be on. Furthermore, the amount of space available to which we are provided is limited. There is going to have to be some talk about how everything is going to come together.
This week the Operating System software should be installed at the vary least unless there are unforeseen problems that I am not aware of. I will be installing Cent OS 5 on the server that I am assigned to and this will serve as a firewall for the other Windows machine. Next week the topic for discussion will be the Configuring of RAID.
