+\section{Introduction}
+
+This document presents the stagety for managing the PS1 IPP Cluster through
+it's life-cycle which will span a peroid of approximately 3 years.  The plan
+covers hardware setup, validation, and operations.  The life-cycle has been
+broken down into three primary phases which in some cases have been decomposed
+into smaller stages and steps.
+
+\section{Life-Cycle}
+
+\subsection{Commissioning}
+
+In this phase the physical installation, configuration, and testing of the
+cluster will be accomplished.  This includes testing the functionality of the
+nodes, network connectivity, management hardware, and storage media.  This
+phase is broken down into three discrete stages.
+
+\subsubsection{Stage 1}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 75 days (20 days slack)
+\end{itemize}
+
+This covers the installation of the nodes, the network equipment plus specing
+and acquiring the cluster cabling and the management equipment.  Followed by
+the testing of the complete system.   This stage should cover approximately 75
+working days.
+
+\paragraph{Step 1}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 2 FTE, 5 days
+\end{itemize}
+
+The IPP nodes will arrive pre-installed into standard 42U racks along with 1-2
+additional racks for the core switch and management equipment.  The racks will
+need to be unpackaged, inspected for physical damage, and positioned in the
+data center.  Once the racks are in their final configuration and the core
+switch has been mounted, the lengths for network and management cabling will
+be measured and the appropriate cabling ordered.  In addition, the type
+(110v/220v) and number of network managed power strips that are required will
+have to be determined and ordered.  There will be a slack period of
+approximately one month awaiting order fulfillment.
+
+\paragraph{Step 2}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 2 FTE, 50 days
+\end{itemize}
+
+The network and console wiring will be installed and connected to the ether
+the core switch or the console servers.  The IPP Cluster Test Plan can then
+begin.
+
+\subsubsection{Stage 2}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 0.1 FTE 50 days
+\end{itemize}
+
+The cluster enters into a period of partial dormancy where all but 6 of the
+nodes are deactivated.  The remaining 6 nodes are to remain available for the
+testing of IPP software.  The duration of this stage will vary as Stage 3 won't
+begging until PS1 is almost ready to start taking data.  The minimum duration
+is 2.5 months.
+
+\subsubsection{Stage 3}
+
+The 1st lot of storage disks are ordered and the complete cluster is brought
+on line and prepared for production.
+
+\paragraph{Step 1}
+
+Approximately 4 months before the IPP Cluster needs to be fully operational
+the first lot of disks (600) shall be ordered.  There will be a slack peroid
+of approximately 2-3 months while the purchase is approved and deliviery is
+completeled.
+
+\paragraph{Step 2}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 1 FTE, 30 days
+\end{itemize}
+
+All IPP nodes are activated and subsections x-y of the IPP Cluster Test Plan are
+re-run.  Concurrently the new disks will tbe mounted into drive sleds, the
+disk mounting should take approximately 50 hours of labor.  The 1st lot of
+disks shall then be run through the IPP Storage Test Plan.
+
+\subsection{Production}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 0.5+ (weekends?) FTE
+\end{itemize}
+
+During this phase the primary activity will be hardware maintaince.  This
+includes replacing failed or about to fail disks, memory and other hardware
+components.  The cluster will need to be checked daily for disks in need of
+replacement. New operating system images and software will need to be
+installed on the cluster as needed.  Additionaly, there will be two new lots
+of disks purchased that shall be passed through the IPP Storage Test Plan.
+The production phase will last approximately two years.
+
+\subsection{End of Life}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item 0.15 FTE
+\end{itemize}
+
+The stacked static sky images will need to be preservated for transfer to the
+PS4 IPP cluster.  The static sky data shall be transfered to the 25 nodes
+containing lot 3 disks. All but the 25 nodes containing lot 3 disks will be
+deactivated.  The deactiviated nodes shall be stored for possible reuse with
+PS4.  This phase will last approximate one year.
