I am looking for a cheap sata controller that can do JBOD with a PCI Express interface(preferably low profile, 2U server) and proper driver support for linux and solaris. The cheapeast one I found is from supermicro but I don't think they can be used in non-supermicro servers. Any suggestions?

we've been testing CentOS 5.3 on Intel DG35EC board (G35+ICH8+82566 Gb NIC), and found that the write speed out of 7200rpm SATA-II drive, connected to on-board ICH8 controller, is consistently under 10MB/sec which is quite horrible!
the same set of hardware can get 100MB+/sec transfer rate with Debian 5.0 and FreeBSD 7.1, just not the CentOS5.3! it doesn't matter whether AHCI mode is selected in BIOS or not, and of course BIOS has been updated with latest version.
about the hd,there are two options, the first one is four 7200rpm sata to do raid 10,
the second one is two 10000rpm sata to do raid 1, about the performance, which one will be better?
I'm currently in the process of ordering a new server and would like to throw another $50-$70 at the default SATA II 7k 250 GB to increase performance. The server will host a site similar to WHT (php, mysql, and some forum traffic ).
There are three options I can get for the price:
1. Add another SATA II 7k 250 GB and set up RAID 1
2. Add a 73GB 15k RPM SA-SCSI and put mySQL on it. No RAID.
3. Toss out the SATA II 7k and take two SATA 10k 150 GB instead. Put mySQL on one of them. No RAID.
Please keep in mind that the question is budget-related (I know I can get more if I spend an extra $200 but that's not what I want ). Which of the above will make me happiest?
This is probably a dumb question, but I've been curious about something. While shopping around for either a cheap dedicated server (less than $75/mo) or a cheap colo for a 1u server, I have noticed that the cheap dedicated servers are often less than a cheap colo, which seems odd to me since with a colo you bring your own machine.
For example, Sago Networks has cheap dedicateds for $50, $59, $79 etc. yet their cheapest colo option is $99. For Sago's $50 dedicated you get 1000GB transfer and 2 IP's, and with their $99 colo you get only get 100 GB transfer and 1 IP.
And Sago is not unusual in this respect. I've priced other providers that fall into this category and they have similar differences.
So why is colo more expensive than dedicated for similar, if not lower, features?

I've only tried whmsonic shoutcast admin pro to create sc accounts
I used whm to create cpanel hosting accounts before so had an idea.
With whmsonic admin pro i was a bit lost, creating cpanel hosting
accounts so i could ad those features to shoutcst accounts
But from what i've read, cast control is more straight to the point
You don't need to be creatings cpanel accounts first etc etc.
Is there others that any of you have on your servers for setting
up shoutcast accounts with hosting for uploading audio files ect
Autodj and so on.
If we go for a RAID controller either RAID 1 or RAID 5, then which is the best option, hardware raid controller or software raid controller?

According to microsoft, Only SQL Express 2005 can be installed on windows 2003 web edition. N other sql server editions allowed. Sure, ok. So I downloaded express (SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE) and go to install. Install always stops (shuts down) with no warning ...
smooth Microsoft, really smooth.

We had one of RAID controllers failed on our IBM RS/6000 server. There are two RAID controllers on this server, one holds the OS (AIX) and the other one holds our database and this is the one that failed.
Anyway, I've always thought that once a RAID controller failed and we put in a replacement controller, it will reformat all the hard drives that were connected to the failed controller, which means we would have to restore the data from backup once the new controller is in place. However, the IBM technician we dispatched was able to build the new controller and connect all the drives to the new controller without reformatting the drives. I think he copied the RAID controller's configurations using SMIT. I think that was amazing; it saved us a lot of time.
My question is, is this something unique to IBM hardware/AIX or other hardware and OSes (Linux, Windows, etc.) have similar capability?
I installed a HC7 software that is manage host to provide my company 's customer. I have a problem with Mail Server is MDaemon, it cannot connect HC7 while Database Server, DNS server and Webserver are connected.
All things r ok except of MDamon. Exactly, I cannot create/add mail domain in HC7 for the website is created. However, when i opened MDaemon interface to check then i recognize mail domain with same name as webise that i have created in HC7. i return HC7, add mail domain for that website again. Result, it occur errror : Unable to create user.
MDaemon of tray icon is blue , is it right configure?
I am trying to transfer around 20 accounts from one server to another, via cpanel/whms multi transfer account script. I notice that cpanel/whm has the express transfer feature which is the following :
"Express Transfer = This will edit the zone on remote server to reflect the new DNS which can result in expedited propagation, forward any incoming mail from the remote server to the new server, suspend the account on the remote server, and prevent dynamic content from being loaded on the remote server (so no data will be lost)."
For some reason I can't seem to activate the express transfer option, or even figure out how to use it at that matter. Can someone please tell me how in the world I can enable this option? It will save me a huge headache from having to redirect the DNS zones manually.
I am using SQL 2005 Express Management Console in the CTP version, but when I upgrade to the release version, it can't login. Do I need to upgrade the SQL 2005 Express to Service Pack 2 first before it can login? Anyone facing similiar issues?
Secondly is there anyway I can upgrade from SQL 2005 Express to SQL 2005 Express Advance version?

This has been happening for a while now, but it never really occurred to me to ask before.
What happens is that Outlook Express will say "2 new message(s)" but I'll only have one.
It doubles the number of messages I have - if I really have 4 then it'll say I have 8.
Has anyone had this happen to them before? It doesn't seem to impact anything; it just displays the wrong number.
I want to install ASP.NET 2.0 and MS SQL2005 express on a VPS server, which provides me with 256 MB's of dedicated ram, and I was wondering if anyone with the same type of setup has experienced performance problems.
My bandwidth requirements will be low, but the site is completely database driven so I'm wondering if a VPS server account will suffice.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
Also, if anyone knows a cheap, reasonably reliable host that provides dedicated windows hosting for around $60.00? Can you please tell me who they are.
I'm seeing the following from dmesg:

Depending on the Storsave setting, performing the battery capacity test may
disable the write cache on the controller /c0 for up to 24 hours.
Do you want to continue ? Y|N [N]:
This is a live production server with client VPSs on it. Anyone here actually did 3ware battery test before on production system? Is it ok to do this? I'm seeking someone actually performed test operation before, not from someone just assumes it will be ok.
I have a 3ware 9650SE-24M8 RAID Controller. It was working fine for a few days and today while I was changing the RAID configs and installing different OSs, it just stopped working. Now when I boot my machine up it does not even detect any hard drives or RAID controller. I looked inside the box and the LED light on the RAID controller that is usually solid green is now blinking red. I googled for solutions but all searches lead me to useless information such as blinking red lights on the server case.

My raid controller is Areca 1160 + 1GB Ram + 16xWD4000YS. Initially I had the problem of the disk dropping from the array randomly. I suppose this problem has been fixed since I have upgraded disks firmware according to WDC suggestion.
But there's another problem now. From my observation, the controller is randomly dropped off the system. When this happen, I cannot read/write anything from the disk at all. I can SSH in and able to run Areca CLI tool to see what's going on but only to get the message saying that it cannot find any Areca controller.
My only option is to restart the server and fsck all those 16 disks (not fun). I checked the log on the RAID controller itself, there was no sign of problem at all. No alert, no disk being dropped off the array, no events logged at all.
I'm using CentOS 4.3. Firmware on the RAID controller is 1.41, latest is 1.42. (Stupid me for not upgrading firmware when server crashed.) I plan to take the server down for RAID firmware upgrade soon. I just hoped that it's just problem with the firmware, not the controller or backplane itself.
I have never upgraded SQL 2005 express edition before thats why a bit worried. What is the safest way to upgrade it to Service Pack 1? Secondly the management console upgrade. Which to upgrade first the SQL or the SQL Express Management console?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a domain portal controller for windows. All the machines in the n/w are connected to it. So, when ever an user enters the user name and password it gets authenticated from the domain portal controller. So, my login can be accessed anywhere in the netowrk.
Example : my login is sabarishks which can be used in any machine under this domain controller.
But, if the system is installed with both linux and windows only windows username will be authenticated using the domain controller. Whereas, the linux users will work with in the system using /etc/shadow file. Hope, I am clear so far.
The requirement is same as above. The authentication mechanism for linux should work as windows. When ever an user is entered with a username and passwd, it should get authenticated from domain controller.
I mean, the user created in a windows machine should be used for linux login also. More importantly, It should work in all systems.
