 ===== Summary =====
 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.
-Both hosts are serving as OSD nodes for 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 accessible but the java KVM is mostly useless since our lack of Enterprise License causes it to quit after POST.

-These also have 10Gb SFP+ ports that are cabled but may need switch port configuration.  Probably useful to have before re-adding to cluster.
 ===== 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.  Something about rpm-based distros doesn't like searching for the root partition using UUID.

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

 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.
