The names of the new systems will be restbase2001-2006.
We'll want to spread these out across multiple rows/racks (similar to eqiad's deployment.) As such, I'm suggesting the following locations:
restbase2001 : b5
restbase2002 : b8
restbase2003 : c1
restbase2004 : c5
restbase2005 : d1
restbase2006 : d5
Please review each rack location for the following (I've checked these remotely, but you should do a double-check as the on-site):
Once you have completed the above, please go ahead and assign mgmt dns for asset tag and hostnames (one patchset), and then later you can assign the production entries. (We can step through it as you handle the bulk of the install, or I can take it over, your call.)
@Papaul when configuring management access in bios please also make sure that "boot mode" is set to legacy bios, we've mistakenly ordered those with uefi by default (see also T112627: bios defaults on new hardware orders to track vendor defaults)
ditto for "power management" settings, although I'm not sure what we've settled on that as a default
Servers racking complete
Rack table updated
Asset tag in place
physical label in place
BIOS settings updated
restbase2001 : b5 ge-5/0/29
restbase2002 : b8 ge-8/0/8
restbase2003 : c1 ge-/1/0/13
restbase2004 : c5 ge-5/0/13
restbase2005 : d1 ge-1/0/3
restbase2006 : d5 ge-5/0/3
Note: the iLo on restbase2003 same to have a problem I can not ping it, and I can not ssh into it. I am troubleshooting the issue.
@fgiunchedi you can start setting the port on the switches. Thanks
I couldn't ping or ssh restbase2003 because the switch had a problem i had to reset the switch now everything is working.
@Papaul: I've gone ahead and set all the vlan and port descriptions, so you should be ok to continue along and put in the production dns entries.
