+This hardware was retired on 30JAN2020 to make room for new [[hardware:vossi]] (rex replacements after LA office closure).
 ===== Summary =====
-apama001 and apama002 are two nodes in an HP SL4540 Gen8 chassis.
+apama001 and apama002 are two nodes in an HP SL4540 Gen8 chassis.  Both nodes are running Xenial because the systems [[http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=mmr_kc-0111501|RSOD]] when running rpm-based distros.  It's possible to get past it by messing with grub but not worth it.  See Quirks below for more info.
-As of this writing, they need to be reinstalled with (probably*) Fedora and added to the [[services:longrunningcluster]].
+apama001 is running RHEL and the plan is to use it as a docker host.  apama002 is an OSD node in the [[services:longrunningcluster]].
-The iLOs are currently not accessible.  Probably not cabled or switch port config required.
+The iLOs are accessible but the java KVM is mostly useless since our lack of Enterprise License causes it to quit after POST.
-//* Fedora because it's good to have multiple OSes running OSDs in the same cluster.//
+The systems were updated to latest firmwares (2016.04.0-SPP2016040) the week of 1MAY2016 using hpsum on CentOS.

+===== Quirks =====
+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.  <del>Something about rpm-based distros doesn't like searching for the root partition using UUID.</del>  **See UPDATE below**
+What fixed it was finding the proper root drive and manually booting to it in a grub rescue prompt.  See below.
+<code>
+grub> ls (hd0,msdos1)/boot
+vmlinuz-4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 System.map-4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 config-4. 2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 initramfs-4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64.img initramfs-0-rescue-ba8d c4c42e5a4ec483a635961112dfd8.img vmlinuz-0-rescue-ba8dc4c42e5a4ec483a635961112d fd8 initrd-plymouth.img
+grub> set root=(hd0 <tab>
+Possible partitions are:
+Device hd0: No known filesystem detected - Sector size 512B - Total size        488386584KiB
+Partition hd0,msdos1: Filesystem type ext* - Last modification time     2016-05-03 18:11:21 Tuesday, UUID 4390d2e3-3154-4855-8ad4-8417c430d982 -        Partition start at 1024KiB - Total size 488385536KiB
+grub> set root=(hd0,msdos1)
+grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 root=/dev/sda1
+grub> initrd /boot/initramfs-4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64.img
+grub> boot
+</code>
+For CentOS, this had to be modified a bit:
+<code>
+grub> set root=(hd0,msdos1)
+grub> linux /vmlinuz-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/sdz3 console=ttyS1,115200
+grub> initrd /initramfs-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64.img
+grub> boot
+</code>
+There's probably a permanent fix that can be applied in grub.cfg but haven't looked into it.
+**UPDATE 2NOV2016**
+\\ Turns out this isn't a UUID or disk issue at all.  Changing the boot mode to not use 16-bit fixes it.
+<code>
+[root@apama001 ~]# diff /etc/grub.d/10_linux.orig /etc/grub.d/10_linux
+c109
+< 	sixteenbit="16"
+---
+> 	sixteenbit=""
+# Then,
+grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
+</code>
