Yep. I intend to create a vm to act as the new storm server. Point it at
some temporary directory to get it working and then bring things down,
point the dns at the new server and point it at the correct storage area
then bring it back up.
The spanner in the works at the moment is figuring out how get an ipoib
infinband connection working from within a virtual machine. If that
proves to be too troublesome I'll just have to do it on bare metal.
