Hi all again.. My Proliant 5500 currently has 4 9Gb drives in it if I recall correctly -- all the same type. Assuming that I can get around my hardware problems I've mentioned in my other thread, I'm wondering if I wanted to add more storage to my existing RAID5 array, do I need to do it by adding...

Hi, I'm setting up a new HP server DL 320 G4 with two ultra scsi disks. My goal is to use raid 1 to have full redundancy. I used Array Configuration Utility 7.30.90.0 to configure a level 1 raid. ACU says this: Logical Drive 1 (34727 MB, RAID 1+0).

Does anyone know what the chipset is that is used in the Integrated Management Display (IMD) with Compaq Sparepartnr.: 271930-001 169338-001? I would like to use is with lcdproc or lcd4linux, but those programs have no information of this specific lcd display. Is it possible to get other...

Hello, I'm trying to get to the raid configuration pane on a new DL140. I've been unsuccessful so far because I cannot see the key combination to get in there. If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it! -Ver

How do you update the firmware on the AIT50 Hotswap tape drive? I would prefer a Windows-based utility for doing this if one exists. The Compaq tape drive floppy set of seven floppies is just hanging on our Proliant 6400R, and I don't see a way to get it to do the upgrade correctly. -- Will

I finally received my second processor for my Proliant 3000 today, a second PII 333MHz (SL2S3). Plugged it in and updated the NVRAM and the BIOS screen reports both processors as present. However I've now run both Knoppix 3.8.1 and SME Server 6.0.1 (a custom RedHat server install with web...

Hello newsgroup, I'm the (proud) owner of a P800 (2x Pii350 512 Mb mem.) W2K operating system. The thing is working for years and... no problems. What is the joke now I did extend the SCSI drives to 6x 18 Gig 15000 RPM but more space is wanted:-) So I bought myself a SATA Raid card and 2 drives,...

Well, it looks like there is an iLO PCI card for the ML110 G2. Mine is a G1, and there is no iLO card specifically available for it. I called Compaq and the pre-sales tech support guy said that I might have luck with part number 227251-001, "REMOTE INSIGHT LIGHTS OUT II PCI RIBLO II." Before I...

Nutcracker- you talked me into upgrading my 5500s. Is there are cross reference that shows all of the part number super? I have found a lot of 228471-001 memory on eBay but it doesn't match what they show he http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10279_div/10279_div.html#Memory

Well pick up my deal last night( a DL580). But has no memory board, no ps, no peripheral board. Two 700mhz 2meg cache xeons. Picked up two 1 meg cache xeons last week. (can I mix them?) About 1gig of memory. Unforturnately no drives or trays. So I'm looking...

I've been drooling over the 8500s with eight way xeon 700s that are starting to pop up on ebay. Any experience with running these for MySQL servers with Linux?

The Proliant 3000 I have here has a 750W hot swappable PSU. But I've just been trying to work out what combination of components would actually justify such a high rated PSU. In it's current configuration I have: 7 x 4.3Gb drives (rated at about 35W during startup) 2 x PII 333MHz (rated at around...

What is the diffenece between a DL580 and a ML570?

Wondering about the difference between Compaq and Dell Xeons. The 700mhz and 900mhz processors. With the Dells they are marked 2.9v and the compaqs 5v / 12v. Are these processors able to work in either machines?

I'm about to get my hands on a dual channel 3200 controller, do these specifically need a point-to-point 68pin cable or will they run with a standard terminated or unterminated cable? I'm guessing the cage terminates internally, so I would assume a cable with a terminator is a...

This looks a bit of a beast of a server, and not too far from me either. The guy quotes it as upgradeable to Quad Xeon processors but it's currently running Pentium Pro's is this possible? http://tinyurl.com/73u3v Regards, Jason. --- Replace nntp with my name to reply.

Here is my theory: "NuTCrAcKeR" is actually a self-aware artificial intelligence that self-organized when a critical mass of Compaq servers were hooked up to the Internet. He helps us puny humans with our silly problems so as to increase the number of Compaq servers, and thus to expand...

My ever expanding Proliant 3000 now has a gig of memory (still running Memtest86 on it) and the transfer rate is about 7Mb/sec faster than the motley selection of 32Mb DIMMs I had in it before. Are the 256Mb DIMMs faster? I'm assuming that if I mix any of the old RAM back in the transfer speed...

Has anyone had any success upgrading the CPU's of a Proliant 1600 to anything more powerful that 600MHz... if so, I'd really like to know the spec of the CPU's you've used ? Thanks in advance. Steve

I have a newish Proliant ML110 and I am wondering if there is an iLO card available for it. Keep in mind that this is the SOHO style server, really a built-up workstation. Thanks! TC
