Sean got the remaining Xserves configured to run independently from the master node of the cluster they belonged to and installed OS X 10.11 (El Capitan).
The new computer names are Ostrich (formerly node004) and Emu (formerly node002).
He enabled remote screen sharing and remote access for them.
Sean also installed a working hard drive on Roadrunner and got that back up and running.
I went through this morning and configured the computers with some other changes (some for my user account, others for the entire computer):
-
Renamed computers to reflect just the corresponding bird name (hostnames had been labeled as “bird name’s Xserve”)
-
Created srlab user accounts
-
Changed srlab user accounts to Standard instead of Administrative
-
Created steven user account
-
Turned on Firewalls
-
Granted remote login access to all users (instead of just Administrators)
-
Installed Docker Toolbox
-
Changed power settings to start automatically after power failure
-
Added computer name to login screen via Terminal:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.ap\ple.loginwindow LoginwindowText "TEXT GOES HERE"
- Changed computer HostName via Terminal so that Terminal displays computer name:
sudo scutil --set HostName "TEXT GOES HERE"
-
Installed Mac Homebrew (I don’t know if installation of Homebrew is “global” – i.e. installs for all users)
-
Used Mac Homebrew to install
wget
-
Used Mac Homebrew to install
tmux
