Re: In search of RLX blade software

I have an RLX 300ex chassis with a dozen Pentium III blades that I salvaged 
from the scrap pile at a previous job. I did a search on the hard drive of 
blade 1 for any rpm package files but only found the rlx-agent-1.0.0-2.i386.rpm 
package, which gets installed onto the application blades when they get 
provisioned.

Camiel,

I worked at RLX and found a PIII blade with hard disk.  I captured the
entire disk image, but it is 5GB gzipped.  I don't have a fileshare big
enough to post the image.  Do you have a dropbox or something?

I checked with some of my old coworkers at RLX, we don't have any of the
rpms.

In search of RLX blade software

2021-04-11 Thread Camiel Vanderhoeven via cctalk
I’ve been given a couple of RLX blade server chassis loaded with blades (one 
with Transmeta Crusoe cpu’s, and one with Pentium III cpu’s). I hope you’ll 
allow me to count these as “vintage” because of their interesting origin: the 
Pentium III loaded chassis was part of a 768 node computer cluster at the 
Sanger Institute in the UK, and was used in the last stretch of the DNA 
sequencing computations for the Human Genome Project.

I’d like to build a compute cluster out of these, but I don’t have the rpm’s 
they supplied to customize Linux for their blades. Ideally, I’d hope to find a 
copy of their “Control Tower” blade management software, and their customized 
Linux installation images, but just the bare rpm’s would do for now. From the 
RLX platform guide, I’d hope to find:
