For [livejournal.com profile] bootedintexas

Earlier today, I commented on FB that I was at the data center slamming blades into a chassis and imaging them with Linux. [livejournal.com profile] bootedintexas suggested photos to explain what on earth I was talking about so...

Skip if desired... )

Today, I received five blades from the mothership in California. I upgraded each to 16GB of RAM, placed each into available bays in the chassis, labeled them appropriately and installed & configured Ubuntu Linux on each.

Alas, one of the blades isn't recognizing its local disk so I'll have to open a service call. Still, despite one dead blade, the others chug along as they should so I'm a happy camper.
