nathani: to be clear, the metal dedicated boxes do not have infiniband. We install IB cards when we're converting them to Thunder hosts. sjackso: depends on where your image is currently (what's your VNC host?) brycec's suggestion works too I am curious how the networking works, are there infiniband switches that hook up to the ceph cluster, or do the thunder hosts connect directly into the ceph cluster? Inquiring minds want to know! while we are at it, how many interconnects interconnect the various Ceph Servers as part of its cluster
