We want to move the servers racked in A1, a router rack, to different positions in row A. This will eliminate any service interruptions caused by regular service maintenance. This is the proposed relocations with some issues addressed.
server rac u space
ml-serve2005 a2 43 2U
db2158 a3 22 1u
db2157 a5 30 1u
es2026 a4 43 2u
gitlab2002 a6 22 1u
kubestage2001 a6 23 1u
db2136 a6 24 1u
this is what i think will work, with two issues.
Both of the 2U servers (that are 1G) will be going in 10G racks. I positioned them at the top so that we can cable them to the last quartet on each lsw. that way they take as little as possible from the 10G racks. otherwise they need to go to a different row. There isn't enough room to rehome two 2U servers in the 1G racks on row A.
also the three servers going in A6 will be using space freed up by moving the mgmt switch to the top. There are enough power ports and available power in this rack because of already racked 2U servers. I will have to break the power cabling conventions in this rack to fit them.
otherwise there is adequate space and power to move these servers out of the router rack.
