Our New Scale Cluster Arrives Tomorrow
-
Lookin' at the guts... -
Various close-ups, for those interested. -
Some front / back views... -
What are the system specs, BIOS version, Mainboard model.
I need to research some details on any potential bugs in the firmware to assist in troubleshooting the system.
-
Rails up close, and finally, in the rack! -
Nice.
-
When can we play?
-
Oooh shiny. Are those Dell servers under the hood?

What are those WD's sitting in? Is that a spare HDD rack thingy?
Also I can't read the label but I'll bet you anything those are WD80's, 120's, 160's, 320's. Most likely 80/160, SATA1 with dual power options (MOLEX and SATA).
-
Those are 4 Dell servers from X-Byte.

-
The Scale cluster here in this particular case are brand new R430 nodes under the hood.
-
It's only now I realize I should have included some bogus marketing material without telling you.
Oh the possibilities...

Yup, you missed a lot of screen shot chances there
-
Getting lots of VMs built out as we get the cluster up and ready for large scale lab usage.
-
Live Migrations working as we keep using the system even while the nodes update themselves.
-
So what's Scale using? I assume the hardware is all dell boxes? I assume there is a VSAN? What hypervisor are they using?
