Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english. I use it not often, so some words may be not right. I've got a Compaq Proliant 5500R with 4xPIII Xeon's with 550 Mhz an 3,4 Gig of RAM. The Compaq Smart Array controller 3200 is at PCI bus 5 or 6 and has two Array: A is a raid 5 with three scsi drives....

Hi all, new thread/question. I went to the local computer fair yesterday. Around here they hold them twice a month, first and third saturdays. Someone there was selling some Compaq 6400R's for $150 each. They seemed fully loaded with both cpus', lots of ram and lots of hd's in them. Another...

Hi all, The Linux group I attend just got a ProLiant 3000. It had just one cpu and 64M of ram and 6)hds. One of the other members got another P2-333 that matched and got the ram up to 851M. One of the hd's was bad and was removed so now it has 5) 9G scsi's in it. The cmos date is 1998 and I...

Hi all, Well I went to work on the ProLiant 3000 yesterday. It is actually about 40 miles from where I live. I took my newly SLOWLY burned SmartStart 5.5 cd and a Debian Internet install ISO cd. I inserted the SS55 into the cd drive and fired up the machine. It booted and I got the graphical...

I guess I was lucky monitoring my craigslist RSS feeds for Compaq "stuff".. I've been looking for some spare 36.4Gb 1" SCA/SCSI drives just in case any of mine fail to reduce/eliminate downtime. Anyway, I almost bought one off ebay last weekend for $40/shipping (~$55 total). So, someone yesterday...

Hello I have RA4100 FC Array and I want to attach it to Debian or RedHat host. Currently I have 12 harddrive in the array and I have configured that disk from windows (3xRAID5). Logical volumes are visible under Debian. Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: COMPAQ ...

I have a Compaq Storageworks 4314R Enclosure attached to a Compaq Smart Array 5304 RAID controller running in a non-HP server (similar specs to a DL385). I have downloaded and installed both the "Array Configuration Utility V7.5" and the "Array Diagnostic Utility V7.5" and I can manage and report...

What is the cheapest Dell or Compaq server that fits these requirements: 1) 2U or 3U rackmount configuration 2) At least six hotswap drive bays 3) 64 Bit CPU capable of running Windows 2003 4) Can take a minimum of 12 GB of memory

I want to direct-attach two different Windows 2000 or 2003 hosts to each of two RA4100 controllers on a single Compaq Fibre Channel Array. When I have two controllers inserted, how can I get it out of and active/standby mode and into an active/active mode? What is happening now is that...

Hi, I have a Proliant 3000 server Dual 500Mhz system (Non Rack) The system has two sets of Fans in the Front making a total of 4 Fans. One of the Fans went South and I would like to replace the fan. Looking at the Fans I see the set on top which has two cables that connect to the MB with two...

I have been trying to upgrade my DL380 G1 (PIII 1Ghz dual proc.) server to Windows 2003 old config had 18.2 GB Ultra 3 10K hot swappable hard drives in a RAID 5 setup. I started over with 72GB Ultra320 (was told they would be backwards compatible). During the text (beginning) portion of the...

The embedded NIC of the DL380 G1 is listed everywhere as being WOL-capable. Using the system tools (HPASMCLI under freeBSD in my case) I can *enable* WOL, and HPASMCLI even reports that it is successfully enabled. After a power-down and -up again, the status is still *enabled* BUT it never wakes.

I have a Smart Array 3200 running RAID 5 and RHEL and one of the drives has failed. I am not sure if i can just swap out the hardrive without a powering down etc... in theory it should be hot swappable. want to know if there are any specials concerns that i need to look out for any inputs are...

Hi everyone. I'm searching for installation manual for the rail kit for the compaq ml370 1th generation (PIII-1000 Mhz slot 1). I've bought the rail kit on ebay but I don't know how to install it on the server. Thanks Corrado ITALY

One of many DL140 of ours is showing red light under two network lights. Server has an exteral USB2 hard disk but shutting it off makes no difference. Would appreciate someone with experience telling how to get rid of it. First light would go away after shutdown and restart and would not appear...

My 1200 keeps booting up with this now. It doesn't affect the way the machine runs except that I have to be there to hit F1 to get it past the error. This is undesirable as it's a firewall and has to be able to boot all the way when it powers up. I've checked the battery on the expansion board...

I am working with a local charity to try and revive a donated, 'slightly used' Proliant. It's a rack config, G1 with the 1Ghz processor and fully populated with 9.1 G drives (12). The boot is currently set up on a Smart Array Controller (bios says SAC 431) and controls the first 6 drives fine. I...

Can anybody tell me the specific part number for the rackmount slides to suit the Proliant 7000 machine? I've got a bunch of normal slides to suit the 5000/5500/1200 stuff, but they don't suit the 7000. The machine width is 422mm for these machines, but for some reason Compaq decided to make...

I'm using the Proliant Support Pack for Windows 2003, and I want to know how do I select a single driver and install it from the GUI? If you highlight one driver and selected the menu option to install just selected drivers, it installs every one of them! -- Will
