ALL YOUR TUINHUISJES ARE BELONG TO US!

We've got a tuinhuisje! It will be used as a colo on HAR.
You can talk to people involved with this in #har-dc on irc.eth-0.nl


==Tuinhuisje==
[http://twitpic.com/9zi4e Tuinhuisje] that will become the colo. It even has a floor, and windows!
It is [http://twitpic.com/9zto1 stored] in BadBoeli's garage box. It has between 7 and 9 sides, size is about 3-3.5 meters in diameter (we didn't measure, just a guess/assumption).


==Managing==
We will need one or two people who will manage the colo. That means they have the key, can be called for colo-business and will overlook placement of equipment in the colo. [[User:Spider|Spider]] maakt een rooster, aanmelden graag ook even bij haar doen.
* [[User:Kogelvis|Fugu]] is willing to help out on this part.
* [[User:Mishmash|Mishmash]] is willing to help out on this part :P
* [[User:Failbaitr|Failbaitr]] (in-betweens)
* [[User:R3boot|r3boot]] (in-betweens)
* [[User:Zarya|zarya]] (in-betweens)
* [[User:VeXocide|VeXocide]]
* [[User:Thyrif|Thyrif]] is also around..
* ??

Since the Thuinhuisje will also house some hardware not belonging to eth0/mononoke, we need some way of contacting (dect-phone who will travel with the manager on duty), registry (who's hardware is it) and publication (HAR-project).
Any ideas? And who wants to take care of this stuff?

==Transportation==
We would like to have it finished by the end of the weekend before HAR. Which means building on the 8th, setting up DC-features on the 9th.
* Tuinhuisje
** The Tuinhuisje will be picked up by the Mercedes Sprinter (by HAR-logistics)
* Racks (no pun intended)
** [[User:MishMash|MishMash]] may be able to get the racks from [[User:r3boot|r3boot]]'s place (8th or 9th?) (r3boot, do you need to be there?)

==Building / Setting up at HAR==

Buildplan:

Some poles will be set in the ground for elevation and solid-ness. The walls will be secured to the poles. The walls are numbered and marked so that we can easily sort the wall pieces out on site.
The bottom part of the walls will be elevated off the ground, so we will fill the gap with either tarps, plywood or bricks.

The floor is a pressed-wood tangram puzzle that can be secured together with some beams on the bottom-side with nails.

The roof is made up out of eight pizza slices that are made out of two pieces each. These can be secured with bolts in the green set-pieces that can also be attached to the wall's corners. The roof is covered in tar-plates or something, and it has an iron cap to place on top. For extra waterproof-ness we would like to secure another tarp over the entire roof.

Inside:

The inside will be divided into two parts, cold and hot, separated by the racks. A mobile airco will cool the air in front which will cool the server and end up in the hot side, there we can open a window and let the hot air out. Maybe we can even make the hot-zone in a corner so we have more walk space in the cold-zone. The space around the racks may disrupt our hot/cold-zone principle, so we may have to hang some tarps like curtains to stop the hot-zone air from coming back to the cold-zone. Or, if the insulation on the walls (just some tarps) works well enough, we may be able to keep it cold inside the entire Tuinhuisje and keep all the air inside.


Who can participate in building up the Tuinhuisje at HAR?
When will we build it? The building will take about 8 hours with two to four people.

* [[User:Thyrif|Thyrif]]
* [[User:Aequitas|Aequitas]]
* [[User:Kogelvis|Fugu]] is available in the weekend before HAR
* [[User:Mishmash|MishMash]] Will be there Saturday before the party!


Then the Tuinhuisje needs to be set up for colo use. This includes insolation, cooling, airflow, racks, etc.

Who can participate in setting up the Tuinhuisje for colo use? (vex, failbaitr?) -> me thinks that failbaitr is way to busy with HAR building up things ;) [[User:Will-Do|Will-Do]]. How about [[User:pluisje|pluisje]]?

* [[User:Thyrif|Thyrif]]
* [[User:Kogelvis|Fugu]] same condition as the previous if it occurs on the weekend before i'm there.
* [[User:Mishmash|Mishmash]]
* [[User:Aequitas|Aequitas]] - won't help breaking it down again though.

==Building materials==

In order to set the tuinhuisje up as a colo, we'll need some stuff to make that happen.


Building materials
* Long poles to stick in the ground and allow us to raise the tuinhuisje a bit
* Since the bottom part of the walls were slightly rotten and we might be raising the tuinhuisje a bit, we need some stuff to close it up (bricks, wooden boards, canvas?)
* We need to make exhausts for the hot air to go out somewhere, maybe rearrange the walls so that at least one window is on the hot side?
* White paint!


Insolation and waterproof-ness
* Tarps (can be used for insolation/waterproof-ness as well as seperating the cold and hot sides?) (need a lot)
** Fail brings a large water proof tarp (5x5)


Cooling
* Mobile airco
** [[User:Zarya|Zarya]] haz 2 mobile airco's
* Fans
** Fail brings a sarell top rack cooler (http://www.bxh.co.uk/imgs/4164i1188922736_m.jpg)


Server stuff
* Racks
** [[User:r3boot|r3boot]] has racks, they need to be picked up in Amersfoort (see Transportation)


Other stuff
* We will need a lock of some sort
** [[User:Kogelvis|Fugu]] has a SKG** cilinder at home, so if it can house a standard lock cilinder I can bring it, i'll look around over here probably some padlocks around somewhere...
*** I think it has one now, so we could change it. But I'm not sure whether the door will close neatly. Maybe a padlock of some sort might be better?
** There is a electric lock some were, and i think i can arrange for one as wel
* 1 DECT phone; for the colo-manager on duty
** [[User:Thyrif|Thyrif]] has an extra, can be charged on the station at [[User:Thyrif|Thyrif]]'s desk in the eth0-computer-boogtent


Tools
* Hammers
* Nails
* Electric screwdriver
* Some extra screws
* Wrenches (including size 10)
** [[User:Thyrif|Thyrif]] has some sort of stuff, will bring it, but we may need more
* Grounddrill; human powered
** [[User:Thyrif|Thyrif]] has one, can probably bring it
* Ducttape
* Lots of rope for the tarps
* White paint

* [[User:Kogelvis|Fugu]] will bring his toolbox, includes a.o., hammer, electric screwdriver, wrenches, socket wrench set, screwdrivers, etc.


==The network==
We've been lended a Foundry BigIron 4k, which will have its own 10G uplink. This will be connected something like below:
[[Image:Porta-dc-network.png]]
The network will be built up in the same way as all the other datenklo's. We'll have our own /23, which has DHCP and RFC2322 support.

==What goes in the Tuinhuisje==
There will probably fit 2 or three racks in there (if we suspend it high enough, should need only a few cm's) and there might be requests for non-rack hardware.
You can ad your hardware here, and there will probably be more people at HAR interested in some rackspace. (wasn't the plan to make it available for other people as well?)

* BigIron 4000 

[[User:MishMash|MishMash]]:
