Buying a used P570F: what to check

VxRail nodes should be sold with matching software and cluster licences, so check how the node is being transferred and whether it can be reimaged and added to an existing cluster. Confirm the CPU generation matches the cluster, check the BOSS boot module and cache SSDs, and note that all nodes in a cluster must use the same network speed.
