Startup Playbook

Here's how to start turning things on after a power failure has happened.

1. Wait for all of the Ethernet and wireless infrastructure to power up. These are, as of this writing, 3 Aruba MAS 3500 switches and 3 Aruba IAP-225 wireless access points powered by the switches.
2. Wait for warthog-0 to start up. This server is the inter-network router, DHCP server, DNS server, NTP server, firewall.
3. Connect a system to the JohnsonThings network SSID. This will get you on the 172.17.0.x network.
4. SSH to warthog-0 as the itops user.
5. Get mandos running.
   1. There is a lot to this one.
   2. It involves encrypted block devices, software RAID, filesystem mounting, and service launching.
6. Boot up big-thin-client as it is one of the systems that contains the LUKS passphrases for everything. This system's disk should unlock using the mandos-client run as part of the boot process.
