Resurecting a ProLiant 3000?
Gang,
Would it not be cheaper on him to get another unit like an 1850. I see them go for as little as 15 to 20 bucks loaded and have dual P3 550 or 600's. I don't think cost of operation has been mentioned either. If I'm not mistaken that 3000 pulls quite a bit of juice. If Charles is trying to squeeze the nickel, the 1850 might be half the cost to operate saving in a month or two his total expenditure. In a 24x7 mode, that can cost quite a few bucks a month. Just a thought. Phil "***** charles" wrote in message . .. I will be gone until Sunday night. If you decide to take this deal, just post a response here or send me email. I have tried to contact you through email, but have not received a response....thus, this public post. Sorry for the email thing. I don't put in a real address since I don't need more spam than I already get. I sent an email direct to you. later, charles.... |

Since the server at the moment is located at someone else's business and it is turned off when not being used, it may not be much of a difference. I don't know if they plan on using it 24/7 or not or just when we have meetings. Sometimes the guys hang around most of the day when we have a meeting. At the moment, we only meet one day a month but I have been going to the place about once a week to work on the machine, usually saturdays. It is in a commercial building that has tons of old computers and servers laying around. One room is set up for projection and presentation. Another room is the "server room". Lots of old rack mount stuff, nothing working, and nothing better than the PL3000. The building has a 3.0 DSL line into it. It also has wired and wireless connections, WRT54G. charles.... |

***** charles wrote: Yes. I have read several horror stores about getting raid controllers to work especially under Linux. I would assume that Windows would be no problem. The service packs are all written to work with/under Windows. So to work on this machine is not purely a Linux experience from a support standpoint. Does the Smart Array Controller have a model number associated with it? Sorry for my absence. My Grandaughter turned ONE YEAR OLD this weekend, and I had to attend. To answer your question, Charles, I would point you to this write-up I did some time ago. It involves a 3000 with a 2DH Smart Array Controller, running Linux: http://www.pc-mod-squad.com/articles.html Take a look and see if this jives with the "horror stories" that you have heard.

Your distro had no trouble with the controller, but the video card was not a snap to set up. I suspect that newer distro's would have less and less problems with raid controllers. later.....
