I have tested the Asus M2N-MX motherboard on CentOS 5, the first 10 worked very well, zero problems and very stable.
My next 10 somehow did not work at all, after speaking to asus techs, I had to stick a 512MB ram module (which does make the motherboard work) and update the bios. Now the 1GB kingston ddr2 modules work fine.
Installed centos, and then to find out that every time the server gets rebooted, ALL eth0 settings are lost. I tested debian on it and same story! The nic is found, but debian is assigning/detecting new MAC's for the nic all the time.
The weird thing is the first batch is working very good!
I have wasted countless hours in trying to get this second batch working with no luck. I am looking to get the gigabyte GA-M61PM-S2 with RTL8211 nic. Anyone who was able to get this one running with centos without any problems?
I have some linux binaries that I would like to run on a FreeBSD.
Now I understand that there is a linux compatibility layer to run these programs. If I am correct this is not an emulator, therefore there is no performance lost. Is this correct?
I want to run FreeBSD on an opteron server. There is a AMD64 version of FreeBSD, and there are also AMD64 versions of the binaries I want to run. If possible I would like to run the AMD64 versions in order to get better performance from the Opterons. Will the compatibility layer still work fine, or will it be converting to 32 bit processing, or even just giving an error?
Our server setup is like this, wordpress, vtiger crm and ecommerse applications running on plesk 12 , with apache as backend server and nginx as proxy to serve static content. Now plans are to optimize webpages with Google pagespeed module , As per google documentation, module installation on nginx server need to be build from source. Is it recommended to install ngx_pagespeed module by building nginx from source on Plesk server?
Are there any issues I should concern about if I am using 64-bit OS? I mean like compatibility issues with apache, MYsql, Exim or other cpanel applications! Or security scripts like firewall or mod_security etc….. With 64-bit
should I tweak something? Or it’s ok to used same configurations like the old days with 32-bit? .......
I have bought a PowerEdge 2900 Quad-Core Xeon E5345 2.33 Ghz Processor 2GB FB 667MHz Memory 146 GB SAS hard drive PERC 5/i integrated RAID Controller Card
I have installed Fedora Core 6 on this.But somehow it fails to work.It keeps hanging anytime anywhere.
Can anybody help me know whether this is compatible with each other?
I tried closing some services and work it,but the attempt was in vane.
I have googled alot over this and cant get it worked.
I also tried to install from different CDs,but no luck.
I have an ASUS P5VD2-VM motherboard here, and i'm pretty sure i've narrowed it down to being the problem. Let me give you some background to start off with..
I've tried installing: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-i386 (with p4 chip), aswell as 6.2 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-amd64 (with Pentium D 820), aswell as 6.2 XP Professional SP2 (with p4 chip)
All three installations invoke a hard-reboot (FreeBSD- last thing I see is hard drive information related...XP- Right after the EULA, to continue to hard drive partitioning).
I changed the chip from an Intel Pentium D 820 (dual-core), to a regular Pentium 4 Prescott 3.2GhZ, thinking that the dual core was making FreeBSD go all goofy...apparently that’s not the case.
I'm kind of stumped as of what to do now. It seems to be like either the IDE/SATA controller is cooked, or there is just something wrong with this main board. I tried disconnecting my SATA hard drives, and installing on an IDE hard drive without luck.
i´m trying to install xcache to test it on my VPS i have Zend Optimizer 3.3.0. One of the problems i´m having is this one
PHP Fatal error: [Zend Optimizer] Zend Optimizer 3.3.0 is incompatible with XCache 1.2.1 in Unknown on line 0
And the xcache not being placed on phpinfo. I try the fix seen in this topic (last 2 post), but didn´t work for me [url]
There was a tech trying to install xcache but was not possible for him, another one told me that they are incompatible (xcache whit Zend Optimizer), and another one advice me that they are compatible.
We currently use Intel motherboards in our dedicated servers, for our customers.
But I wish some advice about these manufacturers. Are they good? As good as intel, or even better? (They are much cheaper than Intel, and uses Intel chipsets)
I bought a dual socket F motherboard and having a hard time getting OpenVZ to run on it. I'm wondering if the board is compatible. It's a Tyan S2932 and the OpenVZ kernel crashes on it. (2.6.24 kernel)
I've flashed the latest bios.
So - thinking about returning the MB and getting something else. What MB is compatible with OpenVZ?
Specs:
2 socket F for quad core opterons. 16 momery slots.
there are motherboards are designed for server and some are for lower level, it is likely personal computer, i am interested with how to differentiate the two kinds of motherboards?
new xeon motherboard after having nothing but constant problems with the supermicro boards. Specifically we've had many arrive with faulty dimm's but beyond that getting Windows 2003 loaded, dealing with drivers for SCSI raid configurations is simply a bear. Supermicro's support isn't much help either with answers like "well that's the driver, it should work."
Just trying to get some feedback on what others are using. Looking for something that has both SATA and SCSI support with and without RAID 0,1,5 and 10 and has better than average Windows 2003 support.
We're not interested in any of the options from Dell, HP, etc.
Is there a current motherboard out there that will fit the Supermicro SC512L-260B chassis without modification? I think Foxconn had one recently, but it may have been discontinued.
I know sometimes you have to grind off the the Audio since it is too high for the 1U chassis. I'm hoping maybe ASUS has something that will fit.
I purchased a Tyan S3970 (Tomcat h1000e) motherboard with a Supermicro SC820 Case, 'cuz I got a good deal on the combo. After I purchased it I realized that the back-cover does not match up, and the connector wires are short. (ie. The NIC/power LED wires do not reach the connector). Does anyone have a solution to this problem.
i like the I/O panel is in the front and not the back. It can be a pain in the butt to access the back I/O panel in the DC.
I'm pretty sure the default SuperMicro panel will have to be take out but is there any motherboard that can fit this case? Did anyone try this case? Can it be bolt down by its ears? It's interesting that i don't see the blower on this case. How do you cool it?
Has anyone been using a 1333 FSB Core 2 Duo board in the SC512L that will fit without modification? Looking for something for mass use, I know some of the server boards will fit fine, wondering about some of the ASUS or Foxconn boards.
since most dedicated server are just desktop pc. i was wondering what would be a great motherboard and tower for home made server for my own use or possible for colo? perfer enought RAM slot for up to 8gig and onboard SATA RAID controller
Is Motherboard RAID as good as a dedicated PCI-E card? I am guessing a dedicated card is the best option, though costs more.
We are looking at buying a barebones server from Supermicro. It features an onboard RAID controller which supports RAID 0, 1, 5 & 10 - but for some strange reason it will only support RAID 5 if you use Windows. Here is a link to the page detailing the RAID features.
[url]
We are going to be running Linux, CentOS 5.1, so we will only have the choice of RAID 0, 1 or 10. This isn't an issue, as having RAID 10 on 4x SAS (15k) drives will be fine for speed and stability. What is an issue is would this RAID controller be as fast or reliable compared to a dedicated PCI-E card? If it can only use RAID 5 in windows, does that suggest this controller is too reliant on software? It would be a nightmare to suffer downtime and data loss because the controller couldn't hack it during a drive failure, or one day it decided to bugger up the array when rebooting.
So that leads me to looking at this card, this looks very good for what we need. Are adaptec a reliable brand? I've seen it advertised for £200, which is a good price.

This card features RAID 5 and 6, would RAID 6 be better than RAID 10 for redundancy, or is it too slow to bother with? Also it seems to have a battery module available for it, what does this achieve? Cos surely if the power dies the hard drives and motherboard can't run off this little battery, or does it just help the controller stay alive long enough with some hard drive information in its memory if the power goes out during a rebuild?
I am trying to install Magento on my apache server. I am running into the dreaded mcrypt issue as Magento needs it to run. I have now been googling for the past few hours and have gotten nowhere.
Here are my details:
Linux Centos 5.5 PHP 5.3.3 x86_64 Plesk 12
I have tried installing all sorts of different repos and it just isn't working.
When I try to install using # yum install php-mcrypt I get the following:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Package php-mysql is obsoleted by php-mysqlnd, trying to install php-mysqlnd-5.5.13-3.el5.remi.x86_64 instead --> Processing Dependency: php53-gd for package: psa-php53-configurator --> Processing Dependency: php53-imap for package: psa-php53-configurator
