[Installations] Server installs, continued...

All the new servers, etc. have arrived and are in the racks.

I’ve been hip deep in fibre channel stuff this week. I think I’m leaning away from LUN masking, simply because any changes to the LUN masking setup require a reboot of the RAID controller on the Xserve RAID boxen, disrupting any other hosts that are connected to volumes on that controller.

Installing the new V480, I had to power down EYEWI to move its DLT drive. I took the opportunity to replace the heat sink with the bad fan with the heat sink I pulled out of the new V210 that had an extra CPU in it (long story: Oracle licensing and educational discounts on preset V210 configs).
