Re: [Wg-test-framework] ThunderX machines (for the Xen Project OSSTEST Test Lab)



Steve,

I only just got back from vacation, which was rather nice. Hope you had a nice holiday also.


I CC'ed the Xen Project's test working group, and the Xen Project ARM maintainer Julien Grall and Ian Jackson who maintains our test lab together with 3rd party suppiers. The working group and ARM maintainer is responsible for the technical requirements for the technical needs of the project.

That is OK. I will also have to ask for Advisory Board approval. The agenda for next week's meeting is already full, so I expect that I won't be able to close this until Feb 15. What would be the lead time?

Larry recommended a dual socket machine, aka a Gigabyte R150-T61 (rev. 100) 1U 4-bay Cavium ARM Rackmount Server

How many and on what schedule?

2

What about memory and disk configuration?

Any other requirements?

These would be questions for the test WG, Ian and Julien.


Roughly what price range are we looking at?


Best Regards

Lars

Hi Lars,    Hope you had a nice holiday and are fully refreshed for 2017!

 

We are working with Cavium to provide ThunderX machines to their partners.

I see by your LinkedIn you are located in the UK.     I am in Boston now but heading to the west coast on Thursday morning.   I will be there thru 1/13, then back in Boston.      You can reach me anytime on my cell…..

 

I would like to get an understanding of what your needs are so we can support you.   We can do it over email or a call.

There can be a lead-time on these so the sooner we get the basics down, the better.    Regards, Steve
