This is still in progress; I have the machine next to me now and I should be able to set it up and get it back online this week if there are no issues. I just haven't found the time to finish. It's a T5-2 with 512GB memory and a handful of NVMe disks. Details will be passed around once configured, and there should be capacity to adjust once I have a better idea of usage. Z
