@Dwisehaupt,

The fundraising hosts follow a different workflow than normal hosts, in that we typically don't reimage them and hand them off to your team. I'd like to update these task checklists to accurate reflect what your team needs from us. My understanding is we'll do all the steps up to but not including 'Update the operations/puppet repo' step, and instead hand it off to you for reimage at that time. Is that correct?

Please advise via comment and unassign yourself as task assignee so on-sites will process according to your update once systems arrive onsite.

@RobH Correct. That is our assumption. Once the host is racked, cabled, and all the basic provisioning of the hardware is complete then it can be transferred to us for install and configuration. I have updated the checklist for this task.

Can we get verification on the status of this host? Are they racked, cabled, and ready for build out?
