Hi, I just received a new server (HP DL180G5) with 12x 1TB HDs and I bumped into fdisks 2TB limits... Since this is an entry level server, I can't use the classic HP bootable utilities to create smaller volumes et can only create a big RAID6. I found out that: using parted, labelling it gpt and creating the partitions would do the trick. But, what about grub? I read that it does not support

I am trying to help a friend with a 2850 and snmp monitoring of a controller and its arrays. I don't have any dells, do they have a rpm to make easy work of this for the Percs? They have a monitoring solution already. Any hints I could pass on would be appreciated! Thanks, jlc

Hello friends, I am experiencing some weird beheaviour on one of my computers. I appologize for the laconic subject, but I really don't know anything more than that. I'll tell the story in chronological order. I have an HP server with five SCSI disks. The disks are _not_ in RAID. I installed FC2 on one disk. I installed a 2.6.11.7 and used it for boot. The server runs some software

I had to install C5 on a dev server for various reasons (legacy system support and so forth). This dev server is a HP DL180 G6, with a SmartArray P410 raid card... I've installed hpacucli via the RPM from HP's site, but its not finding the controller... C5 (64 bit) is using the default CCISS drivers for this card. # hpacucli ctrl all show config Error: No controllers detected.

I need to implement a solution and not having ever used anything but MS Project I would be grateful for a reco on something good. The only hope would be that its web based but I am open to anything! Thanks! jlc

Two quick and simple questions; I want to install the "WinPower" software for my new UPS. On their web site, they have a tar.gz file available for download. I know the reasons for staying with RPM, if at all possible. I''ve Googled and Yahood for ""WinPower"+RPM+Linux and get hits, but no obvious RPM. I tried "yum install winpower" and the response was

Trying to rsync a rather large file from a windows server to a centos server and all but this is working fine. As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc... A quick look at

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with HP MSA60 with P400 and P800 controller. How reliable are they for a 24x7 shop? TIA

I have been searching the net for directions on rhel and centos 5(1) to log in to a windows domain and have found many examples, all different and none work for me.

For ages I have been keeping docs and notes in Public Folders inside an Exchange server and want to move this out to a more modern facility that allows tagging and searching via a web interface for keywords so I can keep all my notes more organized. Anyone have any personal recos for the slickest system to do this with. Given the nature of my home setup, its routinely used to lab stuff up so I

I need to do some testing with 5.3 as its suggested that 5.4 has "some bugs in the toolchain and libc". That being the case, I can install with a url and repo line pointing to a mirror with 5.3 still but how does one properly make sure during subsequent uses of yum it doesn't attempt to use 5.4 rpms? Is it simple enough to just manually set '$releasever' to 5.3 in the repo

I have a user w/o a shell that runs an app as a daemon that needs to use mutt to email an attachment from a script. During testing when the app was ran as root everything worked:) Now that we obviously are running as a user w/o a shell this little bit broke. I used mutt as I needed to send the attachment as mime, and the ability to specify a muttrc from the cli when executed was useful so we

When choosing either of these methods and using an iso, how does CentOS determine the right iso file to mount? Is there an expected file name format? Thanks! jlc

We are moving all our (limited and badly organized) documentation to a wiki. Anyone got any examples/pointers to a hierarchy that made logical sense? We are hoping to move everything from topology to application specific notes in to the wiki. Given the size of this task, I only want to do this once:) Thanks for any reco's! jlc
