Sun - Week Sixteen
Friday, 24 Oct 2008 16:50:46 · 1 minute readOK, writing this from the future, I can’t remember the details of this week…
The main focus for this week was playing with a blade chassis, and a load of blade servers. I was playing with a mix of X64 and SPARC systems, I was amazed that you could mix the two in an enclosed unit. I’m still unsure why you would choose a blade over a 1U unit…
I had a hard time because I needed to liaison with several owners of blades in the chassis to get them moved to other chassis. After this was complete it was just a case of installing new blades and upgrading some firmware. Mick (the engineer who I was doing the work for) then installed some new blades which added storage to the blade next to them.
Interesting stuff…But I think I’ll try to leave them alone…
