Servers and benchmarking by
Jez T
I have had a few queries on server performance recently, and I was wondering
if you guys had any suggestions:
Firstly,

For instance, if you have 4...

Power on --- on by
Phil
Nutcracker, or another resident "expert"
I have a slew of dl380's, any easy way to make them start booting/power-up
when power is applied to the power supplies. I didn't see anything in the

It also has a Smart 2DH card slotted but unconnected.
Running 360M RAM - 2K Advanced Server SP4.
I do not use it as a server in the strictest sense (internet server),
more as a backup tool for 2 small P3 PCs on a home ME...

Rick F.
I found this posted to my local Craigslist (LA area) -- not sure I'd want
one of these shipped -- sounds really big! It's located near you in
Chicago -- you're there correct?

Fedora 5 ACPI by
[email protected]
Hi
I've put FC5 on an old ML370 and it won't control the fans.
I have the Software Maintenance Packs up to v7.4 with the Linux
Proliant
Support Pack, but it won't install in Fedora - says it only supports
RHEL3&4
I think I can fiddle it, but...
Has anyone done this before?

to upgrade it from 733Mhz to 1Ghz processors. Everything looks good, until

I got my SA5300 the other day and tried using it this evening.. After playing games with the
SmartStart CD and whatnot, I was finally able to boot Linux (FC3) on it -- to a point..
It gets to the part where it tries to mount all of the various partitions but fails since

Use of PCI-X cards in Proliant 6400R server.. by

uses to describe their PCI architecture in their spec-sheets.. The Proliant
6400's spec sheet says :
"# Six 64-bit slots (five PCI Hot Plug and one shared PCI/ISA)"
What exactly is 64-bit PCI slots? I think I found the...

Compaq Fibre Cards for Fibre Array and Later EVA by
Will
What would be a good choice for a Compaq fibre channel card used in a
clustering application. Today the back end will be the older fibre channel
array (4100) but there is a potential in the future to use EVA, so I need a
card compatible with either application.

Well.. I picked up my two 36.4Gb spares today for my Proliant and got back

Jeff/LC et-al,
Do you buy your DLT tapes (if you use them still) online or via one or more
retail stores? I've called a few places and nobody seems to carry them
except via mail-order places.. Is there some chain that might be available
