Yes, happy to help, as indeed two new servers are waiting for
rack install and a new OI (ZStor CIB-448 XEON Gold 6126 based
cluster dual host data graves for 384 TB in 48 slots, including
NVME SSDs and stock 4 x LSI 3008 12 Gb/s SAS HBAs, 88E151* Marvell
Alaska net onboard, Intel 82599ES 10Gbe ). Hope I get these into
the rack soon, COVID-19 still blocks us here.
