Hi, What's the best/safest way to "cat" the following job into crontab? */3 * * * * /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_megaraid_passive.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 I am used to doing this manually via crontab -e, but now I simply have too many centos servers to build in a given week (get to toss another 120K at some more 2U chenbro/tyan/amd64's -w000ooo). -karlski

Hi- I'm looking for an appropriate system board to power a system with two (2) Digium TE410P cards. Since these cards require the 3.3 volt PCI, I'm considering vendors like Tyan for the motherboard. Can anyone please tell me their experiences with the Tyan i7501 series (Xeon-basd), or recommend an alternate motherboard? Thanks Scott Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice Technology Inc.

My setup is as follows: Motherboard: Tyan S2895 CPU: Two Opteron 275s Memory: 4 GB Disk: Three 250 GB SATA drives attached to a 3Ware 9500S-4LP RAID card Video: Nvidia GeForce 7800 The only hardware that I have added to the motherboard is the 3Ware card and the Nvidia card. The disks are configured as a RAID 5 array, and the machine boots from this array. I installed CentOS 4.2 x86 on this

I had my eye on the Tyan dual-Opteron mobos for awhile. I tried to find a posting *anywhere* sharing experiences with these boards under Linux. No such luck. So placing myself under the heading "Where Angles Fear to Tread," I went ahead and built a system anyway. Here's what I've learned. The specs: Tyan Thunder K8SE S2892, BIOS 1.01 2x Opteron 270, 2Ghz Dual-Core, retail

A couple of months ago I reported some problems with a batch of Tyan K8SSA (S3870) based machines. We are continuing to have an odd problem with these boxes, and if anyone has seen something similar elsewhere, I'd appreciate hearing about it. These boxes are running Centos 4.4 x86_64 with kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp. They are dual Opteron 265's (dual core) with 4x2GB DIMM's. The

Hi folks, an Asterisk (www.asterisk.org) box will be built with the following specs and I wanted to know if CENTOS has a built process/config/parameter/special distro to target the AMD Opteron Dual Core plataform: 2 amd opteron 265 dual core 1.8 Ghz 2mb l2 cache 2x1024 ocz c2-6400 dual channel gold GX XTC 2 Seagate 16mb cache 300 GB barracuda 7200 drives another 2 Seagate 500 GB 16mb cache

We have been seeing failures with CentOS 4.4 i386 (not x86_64) running compute-intensive programs on Tyan K8SRE (S2891) Tymotherboards, running Opteron 265's. This motherboard is used in the Tyan barebones box GT24 (B2881). We have these boards populated with 8GB of RAM, consisting of mixed 2GB and 1GB sticks. The symptom is that CPU-bound programs (may or may not be related to floating

I've been checking out this and like the looks of it. http://www.tyan.com/products/html/gt24b2891.html I was told the onboard SATA RAID controller can only be used by windows. However, others have told me that there is no problem using it with linux. Anyone used the Tyan Transport GT24 (TYAN Thunder K8SRE s2891 motherboard)? Good choice for a CentOS server? Thanks, Josh

I have a Tyan S3870 (K855A) motherboard which I would like to perform a burn in test with. lm_sensors needs a kernel module compiled to be support this motherboard's sensors. The instructions, for compiling the module, by tyan (ftp://ftp.tyan.com/software/lms/3870.sensors.conf) match closely with the instructions I found here (http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_centos). I

Does anyone have any experience with Super-Micro brand motherboards // dual Xeon cpu's? Had to swap out my Tyan piece of junk and going back with the S-M board. I believe it has similar north/southbridge chips on it -- at least they are the intel MCH ICH5R and PXH plus the 82546GB. One area that the Tyan board was seriously lacking in was in the hardware monitoring department. The S-M

I would be grateful for some comments on our proposed machine specs for a new Asterisk installation at a client with an initial 70 extensions. The system should be able to handle 100 extensions. The system will have the following main features: - PSTN connection via ISDN 30, dealing with all incoming calls. Outgoing will be through ISDN initially - 70-100 Snom 300 handsets - 1-2

We're having problems with FreeBSD 5.4, 6.0, and 6.1 and an ICP Vortex GDT8546RZ 4 port SATA RAID card in a Tyan S2460 system with dual AMD Athlon MP 1600+ CPUs. We do not have any problems with this configuration under FreeBSD 4.11, and we have the same ICP cards in Tyan based Opterion system (S2882 and S4882) run with out problems under FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.1. We can reproduce the problem on

Was wondering if anyone has any luck with the Tyan s4985 motherboard, I had loaded up the latest 5.4 release and in installed most everything that I wanted but when I loaded it up, as in processor wise it would lock up. Funny thing I could still ssh to it but not do a su - or anything from the console. I think it is kernel related and tried the previous kernel but it still exhibited the same

I am trying to install CentOS to a server that has a Tyan S2891 motherboard, 2 Opteron 875 Dual Cores and 2GB of RAM. I have been able trying to install over a network but the tg3 driver will not load. I then installed from a DVD and on rebooting after the installation I cannot get the network drivers to load and the RAID controller in the PCI slot is not available. It seems that when I do an

We are migrating from Fermi Labs linux distro to the Centos 3.6 distro. So far all of the Dell's we have installed on have worked fine but we have two generic servers that are using Tyan Thunder K7X motherboards with built in Adaptec Ultra 160 SCSI using AIC7899 chipset. When we try to install on these systems the install cd seems to lockup loading the AIC7xxx driver. Adaptec says they do not

I want to know if I buy a Tyan Transport GX28 (B2881) will it work with a TDM400 card? As the expansion slots are only (2) 64-bit 133/100MHz PCI-X. I never tried PCI 2.2 compliant card in a PCI-X slot so I don't know if it can even fit in the slot and if it does will it be seen? Thanks Martin Roy

Hi, Running a bunch of CentOS servers on 2U supermicro equipment, usually with 8 drives on Adaptec SmartRAID V or LSI Megaraid. In designing a rack in a data center, the question arises as to how to measure the amperage the server uses, prior to investing in power drops that actually do that for you, even remotely, for about $260.00-300USD per unit. This number is the important one these days

Hi- I have posted a photo of the TE410P Digium card on my site, so that those wishing to purchase a compatible motherboard can see physically what the PCI slot requirement is: http://www.evtmedia.com/TE410P.htm I believe the required slot is a 64-bit, 3.3 Volt PCI, most commonly found on Xeon-based motherboards. A 64-bit slot is longer than the TE410P board requires, but the PCI connector

Hello, We're getting around to upgrading our mail server and here are the quick specs: MegaRAID SCSI 320-2X http://www.lsilogic.com/products/megaraid/scsi_320_2x.html TYAN Transport TA26 B2882T26U8H 2U Barebone Server-Rackmount - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16856152007 plus RAM, CPU and 4 SCSI drives setup in a RAID-5 Is that MegaRAID controller supported in

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard. I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards. Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394
