@stefano #goodmorning to you too. This is exactly why I decided to trim the hedge and mow the lawn today instead of making hasty decisions about my laptops and home server.

Finally, the separate box of POWER9 upgrades appears. These are for the dual socket 144 thread Talos II here at home (the LC-922 are in colo). Relocation has turned up a lot of missing hardware, very pleased about this turn of events.

So, the long lost box contains:
- 4x Samsung 883-DCT 2TB SSDs for local storage ZFS pool (with 2x Optane NVMe cache)
- 3x PM863a 240GB SSDs for the OS
- always more RAM
- an OcuLink 4x to U.2 cable w/ Optane drive floating around somewhere
- Mellanox 50GbE QSFP28 NIC for RDMA fun

@dexter finally, we can continue the project with appropriate hardware

Woke up with the song Coconut by Harry Nilsson in my head, after not hearing it for about 10 years or more.

Enjoy.

You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning
