My work on a server farm with diskless blade servers
Some might ask what has happened to the work I was doing lately for a server farm with diskless blade servers. Everything is going well. Only there is nothing exciting to report for now. I've done some further experiments with Xen, diskless booting including the Linux Terminal Server Project and looked at other Linux distributions besides Debian/Ubuntu.
Currently I am waiting for additional equipment to arrive. The most important piece is a NetApp FAS 250 iSAN storage array with iSCSI support. Using an NFS root might be a nice solution, but probably an iSCSI root is nicer. ;-)
In about two weeks I can probably tell more about the project and whether iSCSI holds what I expect from it.
