I've assigned this task to @mark for his approval from our spare allocations in eqiad. We currently have 5 spares of this identical build, and three other assorted spares for spare allocation. (Viewable on spares sheet.)

Please comment and assign back to me for follow up. Thanks!

I'm assigning this to @faidon since @mark is away at present.

@faidon: Basically I need mgmt approval to allocate one of the spare systems in eqiad, we have 5 of these spares, plus a few other of other types. Please review and comment/assign back to me.

Thanks!

That allocation sounds temporary, right? Sounds fine.

Not temp no, its for a permanent allocation of spare system wmf4747, which has a hw warranty end date of 2019-03-24. It will replace iridium, which is active and cannot really be reinstalled without downtime. Iridium then would return to spares, but it is an older machine which just ended its warranty last month.

Your approval seems dependent on temp, and it isn't so please advise.

Resolving this task, as there is now a setup task for the system.
