The performance team wants to do some testing/proof of concept with a spare system with SSDs. We only have one old, spare system with dual SSDs, lawrencium.
Unfortunately, it has anH310 controler, which has known performance issues compared to using just the onboard controller, or upgrading to the H710 controller. Chris may have spare H710s for use in older systems (perhaps from another decom) or may be able to wire these back to the onboard controller.
- onsite specific steps
- - replace the h310 controller with wiring to the onboard sata (preferred) or to a h710 (from and older decom or spare system)
- - test system disks and ensure they present to the bios/controller
- - confirm system is plugged into asw2-d-eqiad:ge-3/0/14.
- - retask system to @RobH for installation
- end onsite specific steps
- - production dns entries added
- - operations/puppet update (set to role spare until performance team takes over during service impementation step)
- - OS installation
- - puppet accept/initial run
- - handoff for service implementation
