vSphere Configuration

 * Contact: Bruce Johnstone, UNHM IT (bruce.johnstone@unh.edu)
 * Server Name: "BigServer" - the R510
 * Potential Internal Domain Name: linus.unh.edu
 * External Domain Name: MeAndYou.us
 * DNS Provider: GoDaddy.com
 * vSphere is currently running on a single 8 disk RAID 60 volume with 1 hot spare.

Server Updates (as of 6/8/2017)

 * The BIOS has been updated.
 * The RAID card firmware has been updated.
 * The system is using the latest vSphere software.

System Notes (as of 6/8/2017)

 * The RAID card is picky about disk drives and the firmware on the drives.
 * UNHM IT had to physically remove 3 drives because the RAID card would drop them from the RAID set.
 * On one of the removed drives, the firmware can likely be updated, but only with a RAID card that supports configuring a drive as pass through /JBOD, which the R510 (H700 controller) doesn't.
 * UNHM IT has ten "good" 2TB drives that could put in the R510 to "solve" the problem with the bad drives.
