Idp1 and idp2 are running on RHEL3 physical machines. NIST has also provided idp2-dev, which is also a RHEL3 machine. Bob has been using foonalagoona which is provided by OPS/AMIT. This is not a RHEL3 machine. To complete the transition new RHEL5 VMs will be requested from NIST. In addition to the OS upgrade, several other components will be upgraded as well. For example, we have been using Apache 2.0 and will be going to 2.2. We've been using Tomcat 5.5 and will be going to 6. We have been using Java 5 and will be going to 6.
- 1 2 dev machine (increased from 1 to 2 at Mark's suggestion)
- 2 staging machines
- 2 production machines
- Configuration:
- minimum RAM 2GB, we're requesting 4GB.
- at least 10Gb disk, 7200 RPM
- Switch Federation recommends on a physical machine the CPU should 4 cores, each running at 2GHz. It has been noted that IdPs tend to be CPU bound, not disk io or network bandwidth intensive.
