Quite literally yes I did, because the basement and first floor does not 
have HVAC yet!
Only the second and third floors do!

I totally knew this but somehow forgot such terminology while writing

Hm ok, I will have to do some more research on the storage front then.
What I have been told is that you can IPL Linux over a SAN but not any 
IBM OS.
But if IPLing shouldn't be any different then maybe you can't IPL from a 
SAN at all which I wouldn't be surprised at.
