Does anyone know what program can be used to query the RAID status from the OS for an on-board LSI SAS 2308-4i? On this page: http://docs.avagotech.com/docs/12351997 there is a curious note on the left that reads: "Integrated MegaRAID support available upon request" After one mostly fruitless round of chatting with LSI/Avago/Broadcom and one completely fruitless round of chatting

I just had an IBM in a remote location with a hardware raid1 have both drives go bad. With local machines I probably would have caught it from the drive light before the 2nd one died... What is the state of the art in linux software monitoring for this? Long ago when that box was set up I think the best I could have done was a Java GUI tool that IBM had for their servers - and that seemed like

Hi Has anyone got any ideas on a nfs/nas appliance that i can install on x86 hardware with a few JBOD shelves attached to it. I would like an appliance like install and based on CentOS would be great. I really like the look of www.openfiler.com but it seems to be only in RC release stage so i don't think the 'boss' would like that idea. thanks

Has anyone succesfully setup, and used CentOS as an iSCSI server? I'm trying to setup a server with 4x500GB HDD's, setup in RAID 10 to act as an iSCSI server for a virtualization project, but I can't find a decent howto on how to setup an iSCSI server using CentOS. I would like to setup something like Openfiler, but we also need todo some other stuff that OpenFiler doesn't

Hello everyone, I''m quite a newbie with Xen and I''m currently having an issue. I run Xen 4 on Debian Squeeze x64 and I''m trying to build an OpenFiler DomU from the Xen domU filesystem tarbal they provide (See http://www.openfiler.com/community/download/). I downloaded the tarball and run ''tar xzpvf /root/soft/openfiler-2.3-x86_64.tar.gz'' to extract

Has anybody tried or knows if it is possible to create a MD RAID1 device using networked iSCSI devices like those created using OpenFiler? The idea I'm thinking of here is to use two OpenFiler servers with physical drives in RAID 1, to create iSCSI virtual devices and run CentOS guest VMs off the MD RAID 1 device. Since theoretically, this setup would survive both a single physical drive

Two questions (and then a bonus one), kind of interrelated, but, first, some basic info. I'm using OCFS2 on OpenSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.8(-0.7). There are three nodes in the OCFS2 cluster, backed by Openfiler iSCSI storage. First, I'm using Openfiler and iSCSI volumes to back my OCFS2 file system. The nodes that are part of the OCFS2 cluster use the file system as a shared storage

Here is something I am currently lokoing at, and wondering if you'd considered it or if anyone here has done it. I've got a bunch of existing hardware - really good IBM stuff that is all installed with CentOS (with a few exceptions). We want to move to virtualization, but

Greetings list friends, Just wondering if anyone is using openfiler with Xen or XCP? If so how has the experience been? Any particular points to keep in mind? thanks, CJP _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello, We are going to buy some NFS storage for 6-8 VMs on a single host, but want to expand to a second host. What storage recommendations would you give if you have between 2000 and 5000 USD? How about nexenta? what hardware would you use? any vendor? Experiences with openfiler and opennas? Thanks for the responses. Daniel -- +-=====---------------------------+ |

Hey folks, We've got some new hardware and are trying to figure out what best to do with it. Either run CentOS right on the bare metal, or virtualize, or several combination options. Mainly looking at : - CentOS on bare metal - CentOS on ESXi 4.0 with local disk - CentOS on ESXi with 1 VM running Openfiler to serve disk to other VMs And want to benchmark these 3 scenarios So far all we

Hi, I have been trying to install CentOS 5.4 on a Intel SR1530SHS, Intel S3200SH mainboard.. It has a 3 x 1TB sata hotswap drives with LSI software raid onboard. I had configured the LSI to have Sata0 and Sata1 with raid 1 and the third drive as a hotspare drive. Format the harddisk and installation was a breeze. The server rebooted into a blank screen and the cursor just keep blinking. Please

Hi all I want to look at setting up a simple / cheap SAN / NAS server using normal PIV motherboard, 2GB (or even more) RAM, Core 2 Duo CPU (probably a Intel 6700 / 6750 / 6800) & some SATA HDD's (4 or 6x 320GB - 750GB). My budget is limited, so I can't afford a pre-built NAS device. Can this be done with CentOS? I've been looking FreeNAS (which is built on FreeBSD), and it

Hi all, I've not been able to find the answer to my timer problem in the faq or the archives. (or google) Basically, I can't get timers to fire. They fire ignoring the timer value, as if the timer was set to 0. I'm using the OpenFiler distribution, patched to the latest and greatest. upsmon 2.2.2 When I pull the power plug, I see the text "Im In Battery" instantly, instead

Hello everyone! Working on putting a storage server together and wanted to get some input as to what motherboards have been working for people with the 3ware 9650SE-12ML raid board. This is large, bulk storage, 2-tier stuff. This will not be used for realtime editing of video or something, but a gig nic is almost a given I hope. I have an AMD chip available (AM2 slot) but I can get a new chip

Hi! I'm using nut to control a ups powerware 9135. All are working, but, in the shutdown, the ups don't poweroff. I did check with upsc, and I can't see a ups.delay.shutdown variable to set the time of automatic poweroff, when I did complete the shutdown of machines. Before, I did use a propietary program to work with this ups, and the daemon did poweroff the ups without problems. But,

Hi, I've used mdadm for years now to manage software raids. The task of using fdisk to first create partitions on a spare drive sitting on a shelf (raid 0 were my 1st of 2 drives failed) is kind of bugging me now. After using fdisk to create the same partition layout on the new drive as is on the existing drive and then using mdadm to finish every thing up is a little tedious. Any
