=====Overview=====

db.offbyone.lan is a MySQL server for use with LAIR resources.

^  hostname  ^  RAM  ^  disk  ^  swap  ^  OS  ^  Kernel  ^
|  db.offbyone.lan  |  192MB  |  4GB (/)  |  256MB  |  Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" (AMD64)  |  2.6.32-5-xen-amd64  |

sokraits.offbyone.lan created on sokraits on 10/29/2010. I followed the instructions used to build **lab46** and **irc**, which I need to break out into a standalone page at some point.

=====News=====
  * Created db.offbyone.lan, a new VM to replace the aging db.
=====TODO====
  * set up MySQL server
  * import old OffByOne Wiki data (for legacy purposes)
  * set up to serve Zabbix db data (instead of hosting it locally on monitor)
  * document any specific MySQL configurations

=====Xen Config=====
The Xen config file for this VM is as follows:

=====Packages=====

The following packages have been installed on db:

  lair-std
  lair-vm
  lair-nfs
  zabbix-agent
  mysql-server

=====Zabbix client config=====
To set db up as a Zabbix client (it is the test client for the Zabbix deployment), we have the following configuration files. Zabbix config information resides in: **/etc/zabbix**

====zabbix_agentd.conf====
