I have an opportunity to pick up a couple of NetFinity 5500's 4 way Xeon 550's w/ 2 gig RAM for very little $$$ I have seen this: http://www.mail-archive.com/asterisk-dev@lists.digium.com/msg00719.html In it, there is a passing remark to the Digium cards having problems with NetFinity's. Can anyone here comment on whether this is still a...

Hi, it happens I could get a Netfinity 5100 IBM server and I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed CentOS4 (or even 3) on this server. Thanks, have a nice day Simone

Hello! I just wanted to tell everyone that I have successfully used a TDM400 with an IBM Netfinity 5600 server. I used PCI Slot 3 (the first hot-swap PCI slot). I had a ServeRAID 3L controller in slot 1as well, which managed the server's array. Other than that, there was nothing extra installed. 2x667MHz PIII, 1GB RAM, 4 x 18GB hot-swap SCSI drives. The only problems I had were Ouch...

I hope the CentOS people don't mind me cross-posting for their input. I've just done a clean, text-mode minimal WBEL4 install on an IBM Netfinity 4500, essentially the same hardware as an xSeries 340. The install went fine but now the box will boot, run through the initrd init sequence, perform its switchroot then hang here... SELinux: Initializing. SELinux: Starting in permissive mode I don't think it's an SELinux issue though, b...

Apologies if there is a cleanly written and searchable FAQ that I could be directed to. I have no problem to RTFM if I can find the FM... Does Asterisk currently operate under RH9? I have IBM Netfinity 4000R servers that do not support X windows under RH8.x and I prefer not to go back to RH7.3... BTW, where would I find a useful FM? David -- David J.

I plan to install CentOS 4.3 on some older IBM Netfinity which have Pentium III chips. I see that there is now a i586 pxeboot image for 4.3, I think that's new. Can I use that for Pentium III? Kai

...were garbled and now they are OK (BTW, now recieving ~150 faxes a day 99.95% OK, so SpanDSP *does* work fine, you just have to set it up right. Ask me how.) I put the setpci statements in /etc/rc.d/rc.local before my modprobes to the Digium hardware and Asterisk startup. I'm using a 4-way Netfinity FC2 * 1.0 stable I dunno, maybe the community is being too hard on Digium about the design of the card. I can understand their perpective, it's brutal to make a card that has to have such tight tolerances and make it work acceptably on the huge variation in white box hardware (or black box, i...

...t those IBM systems were priced in a different range from what we were interested in. And I know that I didn't find any price listed online when looking for POWER servers from IBM last time - and I know what that means :-) If they came back now with something like their deprecated X86 servers (Netfinity, System x) but on POWER, that could be interesting.

...truct to email a fax or me running a MySql query happen on the other 3 CPU's and leave CPU1 bound to Asterisk alone. CPU use is so low because codecs on the LAN are native to the PSTN, so there's no transcoding. This is the key. As to why I would use such an old machine? Hey, it's a NetFinity, it'll never die and has redundancy up the wazoo. Also, two independent PCI busses with good throughput. I don't have to worry much about PCI bus contention, since the TDM cards are by themselves on their own bus. NetFinity's are $400 on Ebay, so I've bought a couple more as spares...

..., the modem is extremely slow to respond and only actually does anything about half the time, the rest of the time the HylaFax client says: "Initializing server" and it stays there forever. If it does send a fax, the fax is usually corrupt. faxguy, can you comment? Running FC2 latest, SMP NetFinity, Asterisk 1.0.9 as non-root, latest SpanDSP for -users, not -dev (Pre21?) all on same box. The 2 virtual modems are set up to a non-obvious port (not 4569) to avoid port conflict.

Hi. I gave up with the IBM NetFinity, so I'm going to buy new hardware. I'm going to install: 1-)One X100P (1 FXO module) 2-)One TDM03B (3 FXO modules) I'll have the 4 FXO channels busy almost all the time, and I would like quality to be as good as possible without going to the high-level hardware. I would like to lea...

Hello LINUX GURUS, I am fairly new to LINUX OS, so pardon my ignorance about LINUX OS. I have installed LINUX 7.2 on IBM netfinity 4000R server.

...example and in Samba HowTo has come up empty. There is a chapter in Howto on migrating from 2.2.8, but it mostly describes the changes in 3 from 2. Nothing on best practices on how to do it. I have two servers running samba 2.2.8a. on FreeBSD 4.5 I have two new (new to me anyway... 2nd hand netfinity boxes) running FreeBSD 6.1 along with a fresh install from packages of samba 3.0.21b. Now I have a task that I think is akin to changing the spark plugs without turning off the engine. Q1. Has anyone produced a guide on how to migrate samba gracefully to another machine? Q2. Is it a bad id...

Hi, I asked yesterday about a problem with x306 and IRQ sharing, didnt get much info, now, i was playing with lspci, and see something strange, lspci -v shows me the TDM400P card is on IRQ 7, and the SCSI card is also on IRQ 7, lspci -bv (from the man - b - shows "bus-centric view, as seen by the BUS and not by the kernel) shows me the TDM400P is on IRQ 5, why does the kernel puts it on

Hi- We just finished our app and I tested for performance with httperf. Our setup is browser -> apache2.2-> mod_poxy balancer-> mongrel cluster -> 3 mongrel servers. I have noticed that the total request per second is is about 7.5. When I increase the no of mongrel to 5, it inches up to 8 req/s. My question is how bad or good this number is? We are on a old dell 2400 machine

The AS/400/system 1/whatever is not a small system. It's what used to be called a mid-frame, not a micro. It's money.

...-wateringly expensive. Nevertheless, they are just rackmount servers, much like the kinds of x86-64 servers you can buy from Dell, Lenovo, HPE, Tyan, Gigabyte, etc. Better CPUs and buses but otherwise quite similar. > If they came back now with something like their deprecated X86 servers > (Netfinity, System x) but on POWER, that could be interesting. Haven't the IBM x86 servers gone to Lenovo now? As far as I can see, IBM Power Systems *are* in effect what you are looking for, i.e. a Power-based server to run Linux (or AIX or IBM i if you prefer) -- well, that's how IBM would see it...
