= Adding a server to our subversion server database =

We have a record of all servers (and many more things) [wiki:server_overview stored in subversion]. 

Please follow these steps when adding a new server.

 * [wiki:server_overview Check out the admin svn repository].
 * Create a directory in the servers directory named after the server you are creating. Name the directory using the host name, not the fully qualified domain name (fred, instead of fred.mayfirst.org)
 * Add the following
{{{
<server-name>/fingerprint: containing the server' ssh fingerprint
<server-name>/substrate: containing one of: domU, dom0, standalone
<server-name>/location: symlink to ../locations/<location> 
<server-name>dom0: if this is a domU, then this should be a symlink to ../<this-servers-dom0>
}}}

When you are done:

{{{
svn add servers/<server-name>
svn commit
}}}
