I want to go home, but damnit, I have a shiny new toy in a box next to my desk.
It's a box with 2TB storage on 14 high speed (15k RPM) FC disks, yeilding 1.2TB of usable RAID5 filesystem, and it has a nice NetApp logo on the front.
Before I can play with it, I need to put it in one of the racks and do some configuration, and I really don't feel like trying to manhandle 30k worth of hardware into a rack all by myself. I also don't have new batteries for the APC Matrix 5000 that it's going to be plugged in to, and the current cells for that particular unit are five years old now and won't take a charge anymore. Which reminds me that I need a rack mount shelving unit from APC for that one, since it's also currently taking up floor space in my office. Oh, and the Veritas module to back it up.
Oh well, time to go spend some more of Raytheon's money.
