A complete reinstall of all our pools may not be nessicery, but it
would be nice. Of the 5 pools we currently have up one could do with a
reinstall anyway, and we need to add a 6th to the installation. We
weren't nessicerily going to give the new admin node the same name
either, all FQDN's here have to be assigned by Lancaster Uni ISS via
DHCP, so changing names requires hassling people we've already hassled
a lot recently.
However I'm still new at the sys-admin game, so feel free to caution
me against my rash course of action! It would certainly be easier for
me in the short term to keep the admin nodes name the same and only
reinstall those pools I really need to, but would it be better in the
long term to start with a completely fresh base install?
yours bewilderedly,
matt
