Also the CD is self booting and doesn't require windows to setup anyway. You have to flash the BMC and set it up that way and configure the password for acces via the bootable CD.

After that is done, you *can* access the sensor data though IPMI, and even reconfigure the BMC from Linux. There is even an lm-sensors module for accessing IPMI sensor data. It is slow, but it works. Mostly :P I don't recall where I found the IPMI sensor module anymore, though. Maybe it is even packaged in sid/sarge nowadays. I think it was OpenIPMI or something like that. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.

So long as you're running sarge, the 3ware 9xxx boards appear to be solid. I have had a hell of a time trying to get the 3ware provided 3w-9xxx driver to work under Debian's 2.4 kernels, but it's built into 2.6.8. You'll need to use the "Engineering Release" 3ware utilities, though; the 9.0.2 release binaries don't work with the 2.6.8 3w-9xxx driver. M pgpTg0URL1sXQ.pgp Description: PGP signature

We are running a lot of boxes with 3ware 7000 series SATA-RAID without experiencing any difficulties (as we did with mylex). Where did you get the 3ware utilities for linux?

Intel SR1325TP1-E & 3ware 9xxx RAID thoughts
Hi There, I am looking to deploy some 1U rack servers based on the Intel Entry Server Platform SR1325TP1-E, but using a 3ware Escalade 9500S-4LP hardware raid with 3 x SATA 200GB drives (RAID 5) instead of the onboard stuff (as i have heard there are some problems with compatability here)... Does anyone have any comments, thoughts or ideas on the above? PS: Would be using Sarge. Regards, Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hi Simon, We recently installed a intel SR1325TP1-E with a 3ware 7000-SATA-RAID running sarge - no problems with RAID - 3ware-software (RAID-cli and management via webserver works fine) - but unfortunatelly "Intels Server Management 5.*" does not support debian (better said no other linux than rh) - this means you will not be able to monitor fan-speeds and temperatures using lm_sensors/i2c -> if we had the chance again we would purchase some other server/board (e.g. tyan) Achim Am Fr, 2004-10-15 um 10.20 schrieb Simon Buchanan: > Hi There, I am looking to deploy some 1U rack servers based on the Intel > Entry Server Platform SR1325TP1-E, but using a 3ware Escalade 9500S-4LP > hardware raid with 3 x SATA 200GB drives (RAID 5) instead of the onboard > stuff (as i have heard there are some problems with compatability here)... > > Does anyone have any comments, thoughts or ideas on the above? > > PS: Would be using Sarge. > > Regards, > > Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
