I finally have one of the SSclassics that cluster gave me ready for
deployment to 11-113.
hostname ip_address mit_tag_# serial_# where type
----------------------------------------------------------------
m11-view 18.81.1.25 277684 419F0147 m11-113 SSClassic
net-help: I created the name/IPaddr myself, it should be billed to the
same account as quickstation-11-1.
athena-inventory: please update this machine in the db, it belongs to
ops and the above info will be correct, as soon as it gets deployed,
you might as well update it now.
hotline: Please have someone come to my office to get this machine and
deploy it. It should be deployed with a nice monitor; ops can supply
one if necessary, but is suspect it isn't, since we didn't get the
monitor when we got the machine. The machine has little rubber anchor
pad feet, but you'll need to supply the pad itself. The machine
should be deployed *without* a keyboard or mouse. It is set up so
that you should be able to just plug all of the cables in, turn it on,
wait a few minutes, and it should be displaying the xcluster screen.
Note that it will not appear to be booting after you turn it on (the
screen may even be all white or all black), but it is booting, be
patient.
ops: for those who were wondering, we do not need to deploy part of
the keyboard as we did with the decstation, as long as we boot -r the
machine with a kbd at least once after installing it.
Anyone with problems or questions should let me know.
