similar to: SMART and Dell PowerEdge 2950?

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with PERC 5/i, and 6 disks.

Hi folks.. just a few weeks ago I wrote this to someone else: ------------------------ We have several 2900s in production as VoIP servers.. no lockups. On every server I go into the BIOS and: * Disable USB * Disabled uneeded things like Parallel, Serial * Put ETH0 on a seperate IRQ from the Digium card And everything's fine. Dell's do NOT have to share IRQs... go into your BIOS and

Hello All, How do I specify a variable that has a space in it? I''m trying to setup a yum repo that has two different baseurl''s based on the product name ($productname). Default goes one way, but if the product is "PowerEdge 2650" then is a different URL. The thing is, that is only picking up the default. How should I specify the value with the space in the

I'm a fairly experienced RH and Fedora user and admin looking to try CentOS for the first time. I have lots of experience with Dell servers and I'd like to stick with them. Although I'm sure it's not always strictly enforced, Dell claims that it won't provide warranty hardware support on servers installed with an un-Dell-supported OS (basically, anything other Windows, RH, and

I have a 10 blade cluster of just hardware - I can install what I want, how I want. ? What options are there if I wanted to build the 10 blades as one large beast, but _NOT_ necessarily for someone doing grid-type work? ? ?Some users don't now how to program that way, but they'd like to have their program run on something that acts like a single processor, but a massive single processor

smartctl, hdparm, and sdparm all are valuable tools to obtain hard drive info. But, they don't seem to work, at least, on obtaining hard drive info from drives on a Dell PERC controller. Instead, I'm given basic PERC controller info, not drive info. Is there a tool to let me get the hard drive make/model/serial numbers from a hardware RAID setup? Thanks. Scott

I have been tasked with having a Buffalo Terastation Pro 2 NAS box, likely to be connected to a Linux box via samba, be the storage device to back up mostly Ubuntu and Centos systems. ?The trick is, the machines to be backed up need to do so in an automated fashion and make a secure, encrypted connection to my Linux box hosting the NAS. The NAS does have SSL enabled for web admin access, though

Hi All, I install CentOS 4.4 without additional driver disk. When I partition the disk, I create nothing on the raid 5, and I just create " / " " /boot " and "swap" on the raid 1. And it works. When I create a mount point /storage on the raid 5 and create " / " " /boot " and "swap" on the raid 1. The error comes again, saying that

We're looking for tools to be used in monitoring the PERC H800 arrays on a set of database servers running CentOS 5.5. We've installed most of the OMSA (Dell monitoring) suite. Our current alerting is happening through SNMP, though it's a bit hit or miss (we apparently missed a couple of earlier predictive failure alerts on one drive). OMSA conflicts with mega-cli, though we may

I am testing Asterisk 1.4.22, zaptel 1.4.10.1 and libpri 1.4.4 on RHEL5 on DELL PE2950 and using ISDN-10. I thought about cutting over to production tonight when I noticed a serious problem. SIP calls are fine but if I dialed to outside (Dial(Zap/g1)) a few times or someone called in a few times, Asterisk just froze (cannot enter anything on the CLI console) and then even the machine had to be

Anyone have any experience with a R510 with the PERC H200/H700 controller with ZFS? My perception is that Dell doesn''t play well with OpenSolaris. Thanks, Geoff

Hi Everyone, I have a Xen host (Xen 3.4.2) which is running CentOS 5.5 Dom0. I wish to install Dell OpenManage to get a nice web interface with hardware status. Do I need to do anything special to get this working on a Xen host? Or does it work out of the box? The reason why I''m asking, instead of trying, is that my server is currently on its way to a colo, and I won''t have

I have a new Dell PowerEdge 2950 running CentOS 5.0 out-of-box and a Dell MD3000i. I am new to iscsi and, with google and included documentation, am having a heck of a time trying to get the RAID volumes I have created on the 3000i to be seen by the OS as usuable drives. I have printed out SMcli and iscsiadm documentation. I have asked on the linux-poweredge at dell.com site, too. Many

Has anyone out there successfully installed the OpenManage s/ware? Is it compatible with CentOS 4.1? Any opinions / feedback is welcome. Thanks. Best Regards, Andrew

I have a Windows 200x AD Server and have a Linux box as a client connected to the Windows domain having modified the native Kerberos, smb.conf, and other files (not using Likewise).
