I believe it has a failed drive in it's raid, that we did not replace in<br>

osgeo6, is already in, and is the replacement machine for osgeo4, we<br>
just haven't finished moving everything off. osgeo6 does not run ganeti<br>

I'm not sure we are using drbd for an instances anymore. Would it be<br>

Lance, what's the rack and PDU situation? If there is room we can order<br>
it sooner. Last I knew we needed to get osgeo4 off and out before we<br>
could add anything else.

Alternate option, what would be the cost if we just want to buy in to<br>
existing Ganeti VM services OSUOSL is running? We aren't 100% sure the<br>
direction we are going with containers, virtualization, and cloud<br>
services.

We've been running an OpenStack cluster for the past several years on the ppc64le platform, but we haven't created a cluster for x86 yet. I was hoping we'd get something like that deployed sometime next year, but it depends on various factors.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">What exactly are your needs in the medium and long term?
