Re: [swinog] ProLiant Debian
From: Tonnerre Lombard tonne...@bsdprojects.net I'm a rather frequent and loyal Sun customer, I think over time I must have bought just about every Fire model, and they all came with empty drive bays where no hard disks have been ordered. I never saw any «dummy» or unusable bay between the years 2000 and 2010. Yes, empty drive bays where you can't insert a standard bare disk. You need Sun disk mount kits, which are not sold separately. Moreover, they were selling Intel-based Fire V65x servers with completely different disk mounts, not found in any traditional Sun server. Also the embedded RAID controller did not have any Linux support at all... Sun produces decent hardware, and I like it very much. Just don't assume there are Intel servers available from Sun :) ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

This site has come in handy for some RAID controllers and Debian Lenny: http://hwraid.le-vert.net/ On Fri, 2010-02-19 at 15:47 +0100, Stanislav Sinyagin wrote: From: Tonnerre Lombard tonne...@bsdprojects.net I'm a rather frequent and loyal Sun customer, I think over time I must have bought just about every Fire model, and they all came with empty drive bays where no hard disks have been ordered.

Is your reseller making a business out of it for it's own, removing the unused disk frames and selling them apart with third-party disks? /Speculation Because I too always have got a usable disk frame in every disk bay. -- Gruss Claudio Luck ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
