apama001 and apama002 are two nodes in an HP SL4540 Gen8 chassis.

As of this writing, they need to be reinstalled with (probably*) Fedora and added to the longrunningcluster.

The iLOs are accessible but the java KVM is mostly useless since our lack of Enterprise License causes it to quit after POST.

I'm working on updating the firmware on them so F23 can actually be installed without the Red Screen of Death.

* Fedora because it's good to have multiple OSes running OSDs in the same cluster.

These also have 10Gb SFP+ ports that are cabled but may need switch port configuration. Probably useful to have before re-adding to cluster.

I was able to install Fedora23 on apama001 but still got Red Screen of Death and “Illegal Opcode” after grub tries to boot the OS.

What fixed it was finding the proper root drive and manually booting to it in a grub rescue prompt. See below.

grub> ls (hd0,msdos1)/boot
