Server planning work sheet

You can use this work sheet as a template for multiple servers with similar configurations.

For such cases, you can give the range of names of these servers and where they are located. You can also use the configuration note to remind you of other specific characteristics of the server. It is important to note the type of host channel adapters (HCAs) to be used.
