Does anyone recommend any particular SAS controller, or should I use an Ultra-320 SCSI controller instead? My machine is an IBM xSeries 306m. It has a SAS controller provided on a daughter card, but it''s not supported in the 2.6.16 kernel, so I''m looking for a separate disk controller card that will work with my existing SAS disks. -- James Holmes Programmer/SysAdmin RTDS Technologies Inc. -- http://www.rtds.com...

Hi , I have setup xen on a number of different machines already; however, I couldn''t get xSeries 330 working with Xen. When it boots up, it says "Waiting for device /dev/sda1 .... device not found" and then return a shell prompt. I have looked up this error on the mailing list. I found that the error is potentially caused SCSI driver and it can be resolved this problem by customi...

Dear all, I'll install Asterisk 1.4 in an IBM xSeries 226 server with four HD's available, using CentOS as the OS. What's the best RAID type recommendation ??? RAID 1 or RAID 5 ??? Regards Alejandro

Hi. We look to switch from XenServer, as it latest versions do not run on our eserver xSeries 336 server. Does the XCP 1.1 fully support this hardware? Also, any idea how well the Xen tools, such as XenCenter and Xen HW->VM tools supported in 1.1 release? I seen there is a feature called XAPI that makes the XCP look as fully-featured XenServer. Thanks. ______________________________...

Hi CentOS users I have here old CentOS 2.1 server on IBM Xseries 336. How to see serial number and machine type? It seems that "dmidecode" is not available for CentOS 2.1 cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle at swissjabber.org

Hi All, I recently got some IBM Xseries 335 servers 2nd hand, and noticed they don't have any graphics card. Some google searched indicate they only have an uplink port, which you could connect to another (other model) IBM server and use that as the head node. But, I don't have one available. It has 2x GB NIC's, and what loo...

Hi There, Can someone have a look at the specs of this server, found here: http://www-8.ibm.com/servers/eserver/nz/xseries/x366/specs.html and let me know if this is a VT-enabled server? The outline lists this server as having: Intel Xeon Processor MP up to 3.66GHz (single-core) and 3.00GHz (dual-core)/667MHz front-side bus, both support Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology. Thanks Simon ____________________________...

Hi, Is it possible to disable the clear screen when loading syslinux ? Since the IBM BIOS on xSeries systems shows the MAC address of the onboard NICs, I would like to have them on screen when people do a kickstart fro mthe prompt using eg: ksdevice=<MAC address> I personally think that the clear screen is unwanted in most cases since people can add that to the boot message (ctrl-L) if t...

...normally using Xen kernel: either network communication is not functioning at all despite proper configuration (that works on non-Xen kernel), or the kernel can''t communicate with disks, issuing SCSI bus reset commands in loop (and failing to reset it). Hardware is mainly made by IBM (xSeries with older Xeon or Opteron CPUs). While booting Xen kernels on SLES they have following symptoms: - various FATAL errors while loading modules, like missing xen_vbd or missing xen_vnif - when booting non-xen kernel, messages in dmesg like: xen_vnif: Unknown symbol balloon_update_driver_allowan...

Hi, I got few servers (IBM HS20,HS21 blades, IBM xSeries 3650 & others) connected to a dual fabric san throught Qlogic HBA's (23xx, 24xx). Multipathing is done with device-mapper-multipath. On CentOS 4.x i can scan for new scsi devices without any problems, get them up with multipathing & use them without any problems. However, after i s...

Hello: I have an odd problem with an IBM EServer XSeries 305 (aka x305). Sometimes it seems to just sit there, completely unresponsive to the command line (ssh and console), for several seconds. Other times it works normally. top will sometimes die with a floating point error while waiting for it to start. When top does work, it often shows a system...

When I intsall RH...

I'm trying to install CentOS 4.2 on an old IBM x300 server, but it hangs during the boot from cd. The last entries I can see before it dies are the two "agpgart" lines. I've been playing around with bios settings (video settings and serial settings since the serial driver is the next thing going on in the kernel) and boot params (noapic, acpi=off etc) but I just can't

Hi all, I have installed a TDM22B on an IBM xSeries 220 with FedoraCore 3 and setup asterisk cvs head to work properly. A few days ago, I tried to update the system kernel to 2.6.12 from 2.6.9 and also to change to asterisk stable 1.0.9. After compiling zaptel and asterisk, i loaded zaptel and tried to load the wctdm module but this failed with the...
