February 7 - 16

memory usage has increased to the point that project creation fails intermittently with out of memory errors
- created incident 20330 in ITS incident mgmt
- I have a work-around for the time being and a maintenance window to perform the upgrade has been scheduled for 02/22/2011 at 9 a.m.

attempt at upgrading packages on the Contract's team development virtual server (edsel) – ran out of disk space so the upgrade was unsuccessful
- need to review disk space usage as well as stale users that still have a home directory and permissions on the system
production virtual server (capps) is at capacity
- Michael reported memory usage was such that he could not run a Sphinx search server on the box for the Eureka project

we need to have a discussion with Systems regarding coverage for our production virtual servers
