Very nice Brian. This will be a big help.


John can we secure the ports, rack space and cooling we need and
provision some storage in anticipation of these new assets (if needed
lets yank a few cougars). Thanks,

-Paul

Subject: Cougar systems

The hardware and ops groups are working on building up more Cougar
systems today, and I wanted to let you know what will be available in
the near future.

4 cluster-in-a-box chassis with Rev A motherboards -- these systems are
part of QE and Dev's Rev A allocation and will remain in the lab
3 cluster-in-a-box chassis with Rev 4 motherboards -- Beta systems, will
be pulled out of lab when we go to Beta

This is a total of 7 clusters (14 motherboards), which I'm hoping is
enough to meet the current demand for systems.  Going beyond this number
won't be possible until we get the next build of Rev A motherboards that
is currently on hold pending more info on the Qlogic SRAM parity error.

I'll make these systems available to John as soon as they're ready.


Thanks,
Brian
