GS160s (finally) under test

The AlphaServer GS160s that I freed up by moving the cluster that was hosted on them onto some brand spanking new GS1280s have now been reconfigured and replumbed into the SAN.

Today, I booted them off a copy of the production cluster's system disk, and finally got UETP running on them.

This time I don't have the luxury of a couple of switches I could just unplug from the rest of the network, so they are testing without network access. However, I know that the ports work from the previous installation, and I am more interested in stressing out the PCI cards that we moved around.
