[Wg-test-framework] Four disks missing from All-net supplied servers

[Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In our supply contract with All-Net two of the test box pairs were
specified with two disks per machine.  I have just been prompted to
check this, and I'm afraid that neither of the pairs have been fitted
with two disks per machine.

The affected machines are:
 * Purchase contract Item 4, baroque0 and baroque1
 * Purchase contract Item 9, pinot0 and pinot1


I'm sorry that it didn't occur to me to double check the hardware
configuration in detail earlier.  Ideally I would now double-check
other vital information such as hard disk and RAM sizes and CPUs.

However, this is a fair amount of work, especially if it needs to be
done quickly.  (If we can do it more slowly, we may be able to do it
with some more automation, since we want to be able to automatically
collect machine properties anyway for other reasons.)


Should we try to take this up with All-Net ?

Having /no/ machines with multiple disks is not ideal.  So if we don't
want to try to argue with All-Net, we should procure a handful of
disks (2 or 4).

In any case we should ask Credativ to fit whatever disks.  It might be
worth asking Credativ to double-check whether the missing disks are
present but unconnected (!)

in which runs in the Cambridge office.  It seems to affect a machine
with multiple disks.
