[tech] Server donation to UCC: HP Proliant DL360p (+intention to remain on wheel)

[James Arcus]

That sounds quite exciting. We have two other as-yet-unused servers, a 
Cisco UCS that is currently being set up and a Dell PowerEdge R710. I 
believe the intention is to use one of those as an upgrade for Mooneye, 
which would leave the other one available for using as another Proxmox host.

I have been told that an odd number of cluster hosts is ideal (for 
quorum reasons) and one of those + your donated HP would bring us up to 5.

Cheers,

James [MPT]
