479086 - [Rando-Orange] Need a machine to run Windows 2k3 Reference Platform

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[cmtalbert]

For the investigation of the "random orange" problem on tinderboxes we need to understand if the VMs are affecting our tests in some way.  

So, this bug is to provide us with a machine for the testing of the Win2k3 platform. As I'm going to be requesting machines also for mac OS X and CentOS, I'd like the hardware to be as similar as possible between the three machines, and so that probably means that these should be mac minis from the pool of IT lab hardware.

I would request that we get the beefiest (most CPU and most memory) machines for this effort that we have available.

"Beefiest" & Mac Mini don't go together.  I have quad core Xeons with 4GB RAM you could use but they won't run OSX.  

Otherwise, we'll need to steal/borrow Minis from build's inventory.

hehe, good point.  Let's go with the Xeons for Windows and linux, and we'll use a mac mini for OS X.  Thanks.
