<PRE>Hello,
Here is a summary of all hardware that we should buy for next trip to
Marseille datacenter.
- An ARM build host. We have a pandaboard given by PLF, however it seems
to require a specific old kernel to run, and would be difficult to use
as a build host (at least for now). So we need to buy a new ARM board
if we want to add ARM to the build system soon. RTP suggests buying this
board from Freescale :
<A HREF="http://fr.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Freescale-Semiconductor/MCIMX53-START/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMspbelMIdDJdKswmyqRD7aG">http://fr.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Freescale-Semiconductor/MCIMX53-START/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMspbelMIdDJdKswmyqRD7aG</A>
122,93 euros
- new disk to replace failing disks on ecosse and on valstar, and 2 new
disks for build nodes (raid1 for system fs, raid0 for build filesystem
for improved performances), and a disk for the ARM board :
2TB (valstar) + 1TB * 4 => 169.99 + 4 * 84.99 = 509.95 euros
<A HREF="http://www.materiel.net/disque-dur-3-5-pouces/western-digital-re4-s-ata-2-to-64-mo-52965.html">http://www.materiel.net/disque-dur-3-5-pouces/western-digital-re4-s-ata-2-to-64-mo-52965.html</A>
<A HREF="http://www.materiel.net/disque-dur-3-5-pouces/western-digital-re4-s-ata-1-to-64-mo-62975.html">http://www.materiel.net/disque-dur-3-5-pouces/western-digital-re4-s-ata-1-to-64-mo-62975.html</A>
WD RE4 drives are more expensive than Caviar Black, but seems to be
better if we want less disk failures.
- backup server : we need a server with a lot of disk space, to save
data from other servers. Fast CPU or a lot of ram is not needed on
this server.
dams suggested buying this server :
<A HREF="http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=sv4r415&c=fr&l=fr&s=bsd&cs=frbsdt1&model_id=poweredge-r415">http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=sv4r415&c=fr&l=fr&s=bsd&cs=frbsdt1&model_id=poweredge-r415</A>
899 euros
adding :
* Redundant power supply (132 euros)
* 4 * 1TB disks (4 * 332 euros)
Total: 2 261 euros
So total is quite expensive. An other solution could be to buy a cheap
computer that one of us keep at home/office, doing remote backups. Or
maybe we can find someone to donate a server, so that we only need to
buy disks for the server. Maybe we can ask for hardware donations for
this server on mageia-dev and/or blog ?
- server for packagers, to host VMs used to test package builds. This
needs to be a fast server, with a lot of RAM. Should we buy an
expensive server for this now ? Or wait until we have more money, or
someone donate a server for this ? Or rent a server at 60 euros /
month on online.net ?

Any comments about this ?
