KMurdock: Added hyperlinks to the What is Valhalla section

==What is Valhalla?==
Valhalla is our central ESXi server. Valhalla currently hosts [[Odin]], [[Friia]], [[Yggdrasil]], [[FOG|Bifrost]], [[Sleipnir]], and our [[Nginx|Web Server]]. To learn more about each individual server and their individual importance, please refer to their respective informational pages, as hyperlinked in this page. Currently, the VM's being hosted on Valhalla make up the network's entire infrastructure, making Valhalla the single most vital physical server located on our centralized server rack.

==System Information==
It is currently running ESXi version 7.0. It has 2 Intel Xeon CPU E5-2620 v4 @ 2.10GHz (16CPUs), giving the server 32 CPUs total, 128 GB of memory, & 3.5 TB of storage.

==What is on Valhalla?==
The following is a list of virtual machines located on Valhalla:

*[[Odin]]
*[[FOG|Bifrost (FOG)]]
*[[Nginx|Web Server]]
*[[Friia]]
*[[Yggdrasil]]
*[[Sleipnir]]
*[[vCLS]]

==How to Access Valhalla==
In order to connect to Valhalla, you must have the required permissions within the domain, currently you must be a Domain Admin in order to have access to Valhalla.

==Connecting to Individual Servers==
Once logged into Valhalla, you should be greeted with the home page, which will show general information about the server, such as CPU and memory usage. This page is useful in the configuration and monitoring section, however is inconsequential to accessing individual servers hosted on the machine. To view, and subsequently access, servers hosted on the machine, click the "Virtual Machines" tab located on the left side of the page. This should drop down a list of each server hosted on the machine. You can shutdown, power off, suspend, or power the servers on from this list, or view more detailed information and configuration settings of an individual server by clicking on it's respective name on the list. You can connect to the server by pressing the "Connect" button located on this page (please note that the server must be '''powered on''' in order to connect to it).

===Shutting Down a Server===
Before shutting down a server, no matter how insignificant you may think the server is, ensure that you have '''EXPLICIT PERMISSION FROM CHAMBERLAIN.''' Powering a server off without explicit permission is strictly prohibited, and will be punished accordingly. In order to power off a server, '''do not''' use the ESXi power off, or shutdown feature. It is important to allow the server to safely and fully shutdown regardless of significance to the network. When shutting a server down, be sure to consult the respective server information page in order to follow any particular procedure that may or may not be necessary to shut down the server.

==Configuration and Monitoring of Valhalla==
Configuring an ESXi server and it's children hosts can be complex because there are many different configuration pages within the GUI, however as long as you know where to look, the ESXi GUI has any setting you need to configure. Here is a short list of each configuration page, and what you can configure on it, along with pictures of said pages depicting the current server configuration. (WIP)

[https://www.opentimeclock.com/t1/index.html Open Time Clock]

==Description==
Open Time Clock is a free clock in/out web-based software. 24PinTech uses Open Time Clock in order to account for your attendance during 24PinTech Arcade shifts.

==How to Clock In/Out==
In order to clock into/out of the Open Time Clock software, you must insert your username and password into the designated text boxes. Your username is your first initial followed by your last name (I.E Kevin Murdock = kmurdock). If you are a new user, your password will be set to “0”, and you may change it whenever you’d like. Press enter or click the “Clock In” button in order to clock in. To sign into the program, you DO NOT press enter, instead click the “Log In” button.

==Software Capabilities==
The Open Time Clock software allows for unlimited users, which are easily created and configured using an administrative account within the software. Attendance may be confirmed in many different ways. Once a user is clocked in, you can configure the Open Time Clock to automatically take pictures, track GPS location, of the person who signs in. You can configure a schedule to allow the software to enable Open Time Clock to show when an employee is absent from their shift

==Configuring and Adding Users==

===Adding a User===
To add a new user to the Open Time Clock software, you must first ensure that you are '''logged into''' the administrative account. Under the "setting" tab, there is a blue button titled "add a user," which, when clicked, takes you to the add a user page. On this page, you are able to configure the new user's username, password, employee id, etc.

===Configuring an Existing User===
Open Time Clock allows for configuring users through two separate mediums: you can configure any user from the administrative account, or you may configure a limited amount of a single user through the respective user's own account. When accessing an account from the user's own account, you can configure the username, password, and default page through the "my setting" tab. When configuring a remote account from the administrative account, you can configure the accounts of any of your employee's through the "Setting" tab. On this tab, there is a list of every user, and to the right there is a blue "edit" button.

==Configuring Schedules and Shifts==

===Configuring and Adding Shifts===
Within the Open Time Clock software, shifts are used to determine the time frame in which employees are expected to tend the 24PinTech Arcade rather than the day '''and''' time. To add and configure new or existing shifts, you must be '''logged into''' the administrative account. On the "Setting" tab, there is a "Shifts" tab on the left hand side of the frame. On this page, there is a list of existing shifts as well as an "Add shifts" button.

===Configuring The Schedule===
To configure the schedule, you must be '''logged into''' the administrative account. Within the administrative account, there is a "Schedule" tab. Once clicked, you are able to add employee's shift times through the "Add schedule" button one the top right side of the schedule frame.
