I installed a DLT7000 tape drive in my PL5000 by connecting it to the second 50 pin SCSI connector with a 50 to 68 pin adapter in the cd/floppy bay. When booting, it doesn't see the tape drive and it also doesn't show up on the Compaq/HP tape drive diagnostics. The SCSI cd drive does. This was...

I currently have an 18G drive (on scsi ID5) in my proliant 3000 P2-400. I am trying to add a 50G ddrive. Upon plugging in the new drive and booting the machine, the server detects the new drive on scsi ID2 and immediately try to start booting from it. Of course there is nothing there and I get...

Ok.. I really need to find a new home for my now resting in peace Proliant 5500 that I bought (and subsequently replaced) a while back. This is my first Compaq server and I certainly learned a lot about it. However, it does have some sort of SCSI backplane issue that I was unable to...

Ok guys, i need your feedback here. The 35/70 libraries(TL891, for example) are cheap these days, and I need your input. Are they worth the trouble to impliment and support on a remote client site? If they are a pain, whats the price/pain threshold. I.E., for $300 they are worth the effort ... or...

Hi all.. A little while ago, I was looking at the array-utils package that is available to monitor the various SmartArray controllers out there and provide various status's on the current state of the controller(s) in your server. So, that got me to wondering if the person that wrote that...

Hi, Interesting question, Let say I have two controllers in a server with multiple identical raid 5 arrays. The disks have been allocated drive letter in the Windows 2003 OS. How could I distinguish witch array and controller is assigned to which drive in the Windows OS? Thanks

What Does this mean whr booting up ou server Compaq proliant error non function voltage regulator module for processor 2 and 1? Thanks

Just got my hands on a Proliant 2500, it initially reported it had only 16Mb. I ran the system erase and on the second boot it then announced it had 32Mb (system options not set). Once the system configuration utility has run it correctly reports it has 224Mb (3 x 64Mb + 1 x 32Mb) however when I...

Hi.. Just wondering if one of these would work on my Proliant 6400R even though it's a much newer drive.. It's the same form factor as my existing setup (1" hot swap) and I might have found a good deal on a couple of them http://makeashorterlink.com/?L2FB240EB -- Rick

In case anyone is interested, someone up in the SF Bay Area has some Proliant server(s)/parts available for $100.. Below is the ad-link.. I'm not affiliated with this guy, but just passing along info for someone that might like some spare parts or perhaps a backup server...

I've just acquired a Proliant 1200R server, and I've noticed the little blanking plate on the front panel that certainly looks like it's meant to take a Integrated Management Display, a la the Proliant 7000. This machine is a Pentium II (266MHz) model and I was wondering, will the 1200 accept an...

I currently have a Proliant 1200 with a SMART-2SL RAID controller. There is one drive installed in the system, naturally configured as RAID 0. What I'd like to do now is have 2 drives in the system and configured as RAID 1. I also have a 7000 with an empty drive bay, so I figured what I'd do...

In one of my other threads (couldn't find it right off the bat), I asked about external drive cages for use with my new 6400R that I just acquired. Anyway, I believe either Nutcracker or Guy mentioned that there were various options available with various backends (SCSI, etc). I went...

Hi All, I have a tl891dlx which is stamped "SDLT Ready" internally on the chassis. As you know the tl891 series is made by overland data (they sell them as the libraryxpress sieres). When overland came out with the LoaderXpress (SDLT version) Compaq went with the Neo's instead (MSL50xx) and...

I have a Compaq Proliant 800 PPro server. Yes I know it is old but it is still enough for my needs. It has only 64 MB of memory occupying 2 of the 4 memory slots. The memory is some kind of EDO memory. Two of the clamps on the memory slots are broken so I may be able to use only two sticks of...

I have a spare barebones PC, a spare 9.1Gb SCSI drive and a spare Smart Array 2P PCI card. Will this card run in a non-Compaq PC? I've already installed it, and it complained on boot that the PCI bus doesn't support ECC. Next step is to try and run the array configuration utility! Regards,

I'm trying to configure the IMD on a ProLiant 7000 using SmartStart 5.5 and SCU, but when I go into the "View or Edit Details" part of the program, I can't seem to be able to edit anything - all I get is a message stating that you can't do anything at the resource level. It's running no hard...

Just bought a ML350 and the guy gave me a 'spare' Smart Array 431 he had, since I've just bought a Xeon 5500 without a RAID card (unless it has onboard RAID) and with a ten drive Ultra3 cage I was wondering. Will the 431 run all ten drives in simplex? Regards, Jason. --- Replace nntp with my name...

I have an old Pagemarq 15 with ethernet module installed but can't find a way to set an ip in the printer. Any help would be appreciated.
