Agenda

• Shawn will continue to try and troubleshoot the server issues, both Graham and Arbutus
• waiting on answers from Lucas and Shengsong to hopefully overcome server issues
• Shawn will try and set up a large server with 40 VCPUs and 5-6 TB of storage (128 or so RAM)

Server issues

• go through Lucas email together
  • problem with finding half-node flavor; largest is 16 vCPU and 32 GB of RAM, 20 GB of total storage
  • all flavors show up 20 GB and there is an option for ephemeral storage, but we're not sure how to use it
• Graham cloud: has bigger flavors and also has running crawls (or processes running); was Shengsong able to add them or is it a possibility in Graham?
  • could be that Shengsong can SSH into Graham and then add Shawn
  • might be best if Shengsong met with Shawn
• Questions:
  • if he can ssh into Graham, and add shawn?
  • how he got the larger flavors?
  • the twitter crawler stopping and memory issue?
  • what are the processes running on Graham?

MediaCAT set up

• Twitter crawl set up:
  • got it running, and then there is a crawl stop

Action Item

• continue to work on setting up instance
• meet with Shengsong - not until Dec 17th

Backburner

• update server notes and documentation about how to connect to Arbutus
