similar to: Rackmount PC hardware suggestions

So, having returned from a month's vacation, I'm back to work on attempting to build a set of small form factor CentOS compatible computers. I've really tried to do my homework, but this doesn't appear (at first glance) to be at all easy. It's not made easier by the fact that I have to get it right the first time (and I haven't built a PC in a decade); the time and money

Hi, I just came across this box [0] (McKay Creek). Seems to be exceptional building material for ZFS based NAS/iSCSI unit. I especially liked the two extra system disks hidden inside the box ! Any one have an experience with these ? [0] http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/ssr212mc2 -- Regards, Cyril

Greetings, Can anyone relate experience(s) installing CentOS on Compaq rack mount servers units please? Easy no problem, easy some issues, or ghastly do not do it under any circumstances... ;) Basically, I'm looking at some used/refurb dual PIII units and will run RAID on Compaq built in SCSI or is it easy to pop in some 3ware SATA in them? Let me know in terms of CentOS 3 and/or 4 please.

Hi all, I''m putting together a OpenSolaris ZFS-based system and need help picking hardware.

Hi- I have an upcoming order for a bunch of asterisk boxes, and I'm considering using an "assembled" package for the server, instead of building them from components as I usually do. Does anyone have experience with the Dell PowerEdge 750 server, or any other 1U rackmount server for use with asterisk? Thanks in advance Scott Stingel Scott M. Stingel President, Emerging Voice

Hello, I am trying to build up a pretty meaty Asterisk box after doing our initial testing and playing on a 1ghz system. Right now I have decided on a prebuilt system which I normally don't do but thought it seemed like a good deal. I have included the initial specs below, I will be adding another 1 GB of RAM for a total of 2 GB. My first question is regarding the serial ATA drives... I

Hi, I have an HP R5500XR and a Compaq R3000XR that I would like to use with nut. I searched the compatibility lists and the mail list archives but couldn't find anything. They both have 9 pin serial ports. Can anyone give me any information about them, and if they are supported by nut? Thanks, Denny Fox

Hello all. I've been a fan of the xiph project for some time, thank you for your excellent work. I am looking for a fully-developed, beta, or alpha open-source hardware platform for remote deployment to terrestrial fm transmitters and streaming to general internet listeners. Willing to participate in development/beta testing of projects or possible $ support for an existing project. Able

Guys. Anybody using supermicro mobos and chassis with TDM cards? I would like to know which models are you using (mobos and chassis and also CPUs) and how many TDM cards have you been able to put in without having IRQ issues like in other cases. Ive read supermicro servers play nice with asterisk but it is always good to ask I guess. Thx! AK

I have no personal experience with rack mount chassis. >From the past postings, I reckon there are members, in this list, who have experience in rack mount setups and would like get their advice. To reduce the H/W cost, I am considering Linux mdadm RAID10 on a 2U chassis. I would appreciate clarification on the following: In rack mount chassis, do the cages that house the hard disks have

I have recently begun experimenting with Asterisk, and have been mightily impressed by its capabilities and flexibility. I have run across one problem, however, that challenges my ability to use it as a production system. My Asterisk box has a public Internet IP, and works great with SIP (ATA 186) clients that also have public IP addresses. Unfortunately, most of the locations that I would

Hi All, I'm installing the Centos 7.0 from Intel 2u chassis server, Not detect the hard disk. Please help me sir. Had drive --> Intel SSD -240 GB Regards, Jeyaraj. M

Howdy. I've been having trouble finding a fairly modern server that meets the following requirements: - Molex power connectors (don't want to use the Digium FXS power supply) - 4 PCI slots, one full-length (TDM2400P, 2xT100P, additional NIC) - dual power supplies - preferably dual CPUs >= 1GHz - preferably rack-mountable (3-4RU) - CentOS-friendly We'd also like to stay away from

Hi All, About a month ago APC announced they were including MODBUS protocol support in their new APC UPSes. The technical note on this is here: http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/MPAO-98KJ7F/MPAO-98KJ7F_R0_EN.pdf "Application Note #176 Modbus Implementation in APC Smart-UPS" The APC "announcement" appeared on their site in their user blogs by an APC employee, here:

Suppose I start building nodes with (say) 24 drives each in them. Would the standard/recommended approach be to make each drive its own filesystem, and export 24 separate bricks, server1:/data1 .. server1:/data24 ? Making a distributed replicated volume between this and another server would then have to list all 48 drives individually. At the other extreme, I could put all 24 drives into some

To all.. I was using a Gigabyte motherboard, and the board seems like a bad choice. What do you guys recommend for a decent server board that would use a Dual Core processor and DDR2 ram. I dont want to replace the CPU and Mem i already have, just find a decent board that supportsthe existing..

Hi, How can can you stack sangoma cards such as http://www.sangoma.com/datasheets/p_a200-specs in a given PC enclosure ? It seems to me that it introduces mechanical constraints that seem difficult to comply with as space between cards is set by Remora expansion card. Your advice ?
