Here’s a list of what we do:

• Maintain a database of machine names, types, host IDs, installed software, and test accounts that can be run from them in the documentation department.
• Install the latest alpha releases, beta releases, or actual releases of all products that can be run.
• Obtain licences for released software from licencing department.
• Set up communication path for notification when there is a new beta release of any software.
• Uninstall previous alpha or beta releases.
• Keep up to date on configuration file changes and notify department of changes..
• Maintain .cfg files on the machines.
• Set up all machines with Wire to be able to share material between all machines in department.
• Install new stone drivers as needed.
• Install new versions of tablet drivers as needed.
• Set up Octanes for audio.
• When there is a problem with the machine or test account, contact SGI support, Customer Support, or R&D to resolve it.
• Set up means for sharing information between team members, and make all updates are available to the department.

Here’s a nice table of the machines we look after:
*Note: We can no longer run test accounts from the machines in Wellington. All software must be installed locally on each machine, and products must run on the
 appropriate system (i.e. smoke* runs on Octane only).
