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...

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 Foks, Looking for some suggestions in terms of a new tape library alternatives. We use a Compaq TL895 at work with 7x35/70 DLT drives and we need to upgrade. I was thinking of going the way of SDLT but wasn't sure if they could read the old 35/70 tapes. Thanks, Doug

what is everyone favorite? I am thinking of going with a Travan 10/20 but need to look and see what my server will accept (SCSI or IDE). Just thought I would ask to see.

Suddenly my Super-workstation (ProLiant 3000) running Fedora Core 4 doesn't seem so super. I have a standard 15/30G tape drive connected externally to the onboard SCSI port. I am attempting a backup os 20G (19.383G) to a tape running compression. Now the indicators tell me that the backup will take...

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...

An admin here accidentally installed the boot device for Windows 2003 in SCSI ID 5 and 6, and a secondary device in SCSI ID 0 and 1, in a DL380 G3 using SmartArray 5Si. What will happen if we power down, swap positions of the four drives, and restart? Will the controller be smart enough...

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...

Does anyone have a pfd of the manual for the SW3322 switch and the configuration app? I have one of the switches that I haven't used for some time and have forgotten its IP. In the redesign of the Compaq site, the SW3322 has pretty much disappeared.

Hi all.. Since I'm pondering over the purchase of an upgraded filesystem with possibly a new controller, I've got to deal with moving my existing data (on 4x36.4Gb drives) to the new drives (either 2 or 4 of 146Gb drives). What I'm planning on doing is using my recently acquired DLT 35/70 tape...

Can anyone tell me what this is please? Properties state that it's a Compaq ROM Flash Driver but I can't find mention of it on the net and it's the *possible* cause of a memory leak for us. Doesn't seem to exist on any of our other servers also. Any help much appreciated

Does anyone have a copy of this that I can use for testing ? Thanks, - LC

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...

Hello boys and girls, Merry Christmas. Does anyone have .iso or .nrg's of the complete management suite (multi-path and adapter loadbalancing/failover included) that would be used with RA4x00 fibrechannel storage systems? If so, please email me at: info at dnsplus dot net

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...

LC, Jeff, et-al, In looking for a Storageworks enclosure (4214 preferably), what sorts of features should I be looking for in order to connect it to my existing SA3200 (for now until I move up to a SA5300 at some point) on my 6400R? Things I see on some and not on others (care of E*bay of course)...
