Hi Folks, Been a while since I've posted anything here, I have an interesting problem and was hoping there is a work around. I'm trying to use a 641 Array controller on a ML370G2, but found when I insert the card I get a type 2 header error, and the BIOS will not recognize it. HP support matrix...

I have a Smart Array 3200 running RAID 5 with RHEL. I need to move it to a different data center. is there a proper way of disconnecting the system before powering down? The steps i plan are unmount the array pull the power cord in the back of the array pull the array cable from the server so it...

I picked up 2 Proliant servers last thursday (4/15/04) in 100% working condition. One with windows NT 4 server, the other with windows 2000 server. no passwords or manuals, just a single cd package "Server Setup and management." I used the same CD for both machines and ran the "System erase...

Come, on guys .... I need a challenge. - LC

Hi all, Since this a network-centric and Compaq issue, I hope it is sufficiently topical for this forum... I posted this in a HP/Compaq support forum and would appreciate any help from Usenet readers too: Greetings:

Well.. I picked up a used SA3200 today from a guy about 45 miles from me (in Santa Ana California).. I brought it home with high hopes of resurrecting my 5500 which was complaining about a missing interrupt signal from my storage cage.. Well, the new one complains in the same regard, and on top of...

Not sure how the single / dual bus config works? I am planning to use it with a DL380 and a 6404 controller card. So i can connect both the busses to the DL380 and get better speed? Or possible connect 2 DL380 servers to one MSA30 since the MSA30 is dual bus? thanks,

Does anyone know the specific model / submodel of Dual Core 3.4 GHz CPU used by HP in the DL380 G4? There are apparently dual core and single core versions of the motherboard, and we have the dual core MB. I see in the maintenance manual these parts: 404715-001: spare for dual core...

I have a Compaq Prolinea 590 Desktop PC that I'd like to upgrade my Pentium 1 CPU from only 120MHz to whatever the fastest speed this model can support. I have already upgraded the BIOS to the latest version. Can someone please tell me the fastest speed CPU this model can handle? Can someone also...

I have a G1 ML350 happily running Ubuntu 7.04 Server, now I recently noticed during a RAM upgrade that this has a secondary IDE channel available as well as a cradle for a 3.5" drive in the top 5.25" drive bay and was wondering what the largest drive this machine would be capable of detecting...

Will the MSA20 external SATA enclosure also work as a 3.5" SAS drive enclosure? Since the cabling looks the same from the outside, it looks like all the pins would be connected and it could be used this way? -- Will

I hope eveyone gets to enjoy a day with thier families, and if you are into the Lent-thing, back off the wagon of whatever it was you gave up! ENJOY, - LC

Yes, i went with the proliant 5500. the quads were too tempting. I have VRM's on the way, still need matched processors though this is for another day... Todays question is I have Smart Start 5.5, went through all of that and it looks good. Every time I boot up, it gets to the smart array and...

LC, Regards your post and my reply on the compatibility of SA5302 in a PL6400R. I did run across a HP matrix that listed that 5300 controller as compatible with your 6400 server. In regard to me having the same problem with 5.5 errors, I installed two new motherboards in DL580's and set them up...

I have RAID5+1 and the spare has just been activated. In slots 4 and 5 I have a mirror and I want to break the mirror and use one of the drives as the spare for the RAID5+1. That would work fine if I could reboot the server but I cannot. Can I just pull the drive out of slot 5 while "hot" and...

Need a reliable server? These just keep going, and going.... ... I use one as an "on line backup storage" on my LAN. About ever month or so, I fire it up, backup the data to it, and shut it down again. When the power is off: It can't get a virus. It can't be hacked into. Hot swappable drives,...

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...

Feel free to slap me with a trout if these are worthless--- but maybe somebody has an old server box as a mailserver that could use them . Somebody dumped this '96 era P60 server in my driveway; boot tray/drive missing but it did have uses to me-- needed some long 68 internal cables and it was...
