As promised


I managed to get a few more hours in with the cluster this afternoon. The Myrinet box has been safely removed and stored accordingly, and the SAN has been mounted.

Contrary to what I had said earlier, we actually have 7 250gb drives. There isn't really a point in trying to configure the system yet, as we don't have the necessary patch cables to connect the FC switch to the bladeframes and SAN, but they should arrive sometime this week. I also want to add, that this was by far one of the best designed rackmount kits I've ever worked with. What's more, it came with all of the right hardware so everything just worked right out of the box.
