I'm looking for anyone who has some vendors for rackmount PC hardware in a fairly decent configuration for Asterisk/Digium T1 termination. I am looking for well-built hardware from an integrator that understands correct component choice. Preferably, I'd like SCSI but I might be able to do Ultra-IDE platforms. I need at least two PCI slots in the chassis (so 2u/3u size factor is OK.)

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.

greetings, for those of you in the know, may i have some assistance in helping to make better decisions in purchasing more used server toys to install CentOS on please? :-) in the Compaq Proliant Rackmount DL380 line, the one that looks like the older 1850R is called a G1 meaning Generation 1 right? and then the DL380 G2 is a redesign that is gray and just has 6 drive bays up front correct?

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

I just installed CentRC1 on a Dell gx150 as a test. I'm running into the same problem I had with Fc3. I get a partition table error when trying to use ghost8 to create an image. I was considering putting Cent4 on a ProliantDL380, FC3 installed on that machine but wouldn't boot up, stuck on Grub. I had FC2 on the Proliant but when FC2 went to the 2.6 kernel, it hung up on the Nash prompt.

Hi, I was planning on getting a Dell PowerEdge 2950 for our new Asterisk configuration. But while searching for documentation about it and/or reported issues, I found this: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware WARNING - many Dell motherboards use the e1000 gigabit ethernet chipset, which has been known to cause random locksup - if you plan on using a Dell server, disable the

Hello everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone has experience running Xen on: Dell 2950 III 2 x Quad 2.0 Ghz 1333Mhz FSB 32 GB DDR2 (8x4GB) 2 Disk Perc RAID 1 (7200 RPM SAS) Broadcom Dual Gigabit Ethernet LOM & TOE The requirements of each VM are not that high (and are all identical). I just want to run remote desktop and 1 other application at any given time (either a web based IE

Hi, We bought a new Dell PowerEdge 2950III with Perc 6/i and have the disk geometry problem using 6.3 final or 7.0 RC1. Seems that we are not alone at least one guy has similar problem reported earlier: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2008-01/msg00506.html I was reading the mailing list and found that some of the people are happily using this hardware with the latest

Sorry for the repost... I don't think the first one posted.. posted to freebsd.stable, freebsd-current, Freebsd-hardware I checked the hardware in the online documentation manual/hardware It only lists the bits and peices of the machine say the hard drive controller and so forth. but doesn't give you a particular system to look at as a working machine with FreeBSD 6.2 does anybody

Considering getting the card pictured here, http://www.voipsupply.com/product_info.php?products_id=2419&searchid=341962, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with those in a 2950's case. From the picture it looks to be a pretty large card. I'd hate to get it and have it not fit! -- Kyle Sexton

Has anyone had any compatibility issues with a TE110P card installed on a Dell Poweredge 1950? I noted the following error on the LCD display of the Dell Poweredge 1950: E1711 PCI PErr Slot 1 E171F PCIE Fatal Error B0 D4 F0. The Dell hardware owners manual states that it means the system BIOS has reported a PCI parity error on a component that resides in PCI configuration space at bus 0,

Hi all, I''m running into a kernel panic with Xen, under fairly specific circumstances. I''ll post it here first, and follow up on xen-devel if it looks like it''s a Xen bug. After some experimentation, it seems like the panic occurs under the following circumstances: 1) A significant amount of data is being moved 2) ...Onto (or off of?) an LVM partition 3)

Saw a trick today, wondering if anybody else had done/tried this? Assume you have a 1U rackmount with 4 front-accessed drive bays, and you want all four bays for a 4-disk RAID5 storage. The idea is to use an internal USB adapter and a couple of bigger USB thumb drives to install to, RAID 1 style, freeing up all your external drive bays. At first, I didn't think that a thumb drive would

we need to filter out various peoples posts on this list would some kind soul(s) please direct us in locating the best email list reading programs w/ the best features to read the centos and other lists. the CentOS list signal/noise ratio is so bad that we need something better than just outlook like clients or whatever appropriate windows and linux recommendations would be most appreciated

Hi all, Any one experience issue with Dell 2950 and CentOS 5.3, I face some issue like this, server install alright. Keep it in production for a while, Done an update one the server. Reboot , It said no boot devices found. Check on the perc6/i controller the both harddisk show online and optimal. Using live cd to check, the both harddisk still have the data. My issue was solve by removing the

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 !

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
