Which is my understanding. See below.

Maybe I'm confused, but I thought both were to be connected to the test
VLAN. The infrastructure machines are VMs running on the main servers.

I still need to allocate the disks and create said VMs. I was waiting
for Ian to confirm/update the disk/memory/CPU sizes/counts for each of
these. (If he did, I missed the mail. I recall seeing notes about a couple
of them.)

I sent you a reply earlier on this. Last I looked, neither console was
available from the other machine. I don't know if this is a Comtrol
issue, a wiring issue or something else. Nothing seems to have changed
as far as the configuration is concerned. I note that both machines
claimed to have found their respective port sets.

Sounds like I'm going to need to get access to the colo.

I hope you left George my number, just in case.
