Notes

SUT Notes

Compaq ProLiant BL e-Class System consists of:
Compaq ProLiant BL e-Class server blade enclosure and
at least one Compaq ProLiant BL10e server blade
1 disk for OS, logs, and fileset
set noatime on OS,logs and fileset mounts; avoids writing back the main inode block for every file accessed
set nocheck on OS,logs and fileset mounts; optimizes ext2fs overhead, by using less rigorious on-disk data validation, this can be done for known reliable media such as harddisks
