Project ;-; Way overdue.
Goal - Simple, reduce power consumption.
Ive decided to give this grid building a go, i need to replace 8 servers, Dual Xeon 4GB DDR 2 x 72GB 15K U320.
so
Im Going to Use
4 Servers, AMD Opteron Dual Core 270 2.2Ghz, 32GB DDR RAM, 2 x 250GB IDE Internal, 8 x 500GB SATA Drive Tray (Overkill i know, but if it works i got another 8 Xeons to scrap.......
Network: Procurve 48Port Gigabit Managed Switch 3.3TBPS MAX
Software;
Operating System CentOS6 x64
Cloud Software: Openstack and myCLOUD
Timeframe 48 Hours.
Lets see how it goes, and ill keep updating this with what i do and how i do it.
1: Downloaded and Burn CentOS 6
2: Installed to 1 Server and Duplicated Drive for Others
3: Hostnames set to cloud1.internal cloud2.internal cloud3.internal cloud4.internal
4: Downloaded appropriate software from mycloud.com
5: Made a coffie
6: Printed install guides
Thats as far as im at right now, first i want to install it on one server and duplicate the drives see if i can do this without having to configure every server
Back in a few
