I just purchased a Dell 2161DS-2 and I wanted to know if a rumor i've heard is true.
I've had a few people tell me its possible to remotely deploy and install images using this device and a USB hard drive which would plug in to it. If its possible can anyone find me a guide or explain how it is done?
I got my hands on a used 2161DS (unit only, no cables etc), but somehow it doesnt seem to respond on the hyperterminal to any keyboard input.
As its used it doesnt have any support directly from Dell and Dell is unable even to give us a cost estimate as the service tag number is not in their system. Anyway...
When I power up the 2161DS KVM-Over-IP switch all I get in the Hyperterminal is
---
Verifying subsystem flash versions...
<snip>
DELL 2161DS Console Ready...
Press any key to continue
---
From there on its not working. The keyboard and mouse directly connected to it are working. Also all the menus, but we can set the network address, do firmware updates etc, only from the serial port connection (once the serial port is working).
I checked the hyperterminal settings (9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control).
Is there anything that I might be missing?
Perhaps I have to use something like a crossed serial cable instead of a straight one ?
Character set issues?
Terminal type issues?
We have spent days in front of the machine and on the phone with Dell without really getting anywhere. Its our first 2161DS so I still want to believe that we must be missing something.
Will a Perc 5 raid card work in a non-dell Linux server? These cards can be found for about $100 on eBay, and are much cheaper than the Adaptec cards with similar features and ports.

I am curious what "methods" Windows providers out there use to deploy Windows Server to Virtual Machines using Virtual Server 2005 when the machine is "remote" at a datacenter.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a website (PHP, MySQL, or whatever dynamic language and database engine), and I want to set up a sandbox server dedicated only to testing scripts before deploying them, what is my best approach?
I have thought about using rsync to syncrhonize the PHP files. Before testing I would pull the files from the "Live" server using rsync, and then use some way to replicate the live MySQL database to the sandbox. Once done, the procedure would be reversed. Possibly make backups in the middle.
we are expanding to offer vps. i have seen diferent servers config. but am not sure what to choose in terms of hardware
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of Dell 1950s and in one of them, I have 2x Seagate 15K.5s that I purchased through Dell and I also have a spare sitting in my rack in case one goes bad, also from Dell.
I was going to be repurposing one of my other 1950s and was going to get two more 15K.5s for it, but wasn't planning on getting them through Dell (rip off?). This way, could still keep the same spare drive around in case a drive went bad in that system as well.
When I was talking to my Dell rep recently when purchasing another system, their hardware tech said you can't use non-Dell drives with Dell drives in the same RAID array because of the different firmware between them.
Anyone know if it is true? Anyone have any experience with using drives from Dell in conjunction with the same model drives from a third party retailer?
I need a dedicated server sometime in the future and I was wondering if I should use Virtuozzo or Hypervm and how much can I get a dual core or quad core with good support? Thank you for your time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do something that I believe is fairly non-standard. What I am looking to do is create a system where I can rapidly deploy web sites without having to restart named and Apache. For example, if a customer completes a process, I want to be able to turn that site on immediately using a temporary domain (somecompany.example.com or othercompany.example.com).
With some programming language (hopefully PHP) I would like to get the customer up and running with their site immediately without having to restart the server. While doing some research I found I could use MyDNS which uses MySQL to manage DNS data instead of configuration files. MyDNS can be updated on the fly.
For Apache I have seen wildcard configurations, but everyone seems to be suggesting the use of mod rewrite. I would prefer that the domain maps directly to a specific folder:
somecompany.example.com -> /sites/somecompany/htdocs
(*.example.com -> /sites/*/htdocs)
Does anyone know how I might do this with Apache. It seems similar to user directories (example.com/~username -> /home/*/htdocs)

I have developed website which will allow user to upload 1-2 photos and also allow to see other users photo and rate them. For this I have planned to go for VPS. I am also thinking of another alternative of using image hosting service, where I will keep all user photos on image hosting server and embed links given by image server in my webpage.
Now my question is.
1) Using image hosting is faster(respone time for each user) than VPS?
2) How exactly using image hosting works. when user request web page from my server, will my server go and fetch entire image from image server and then send final result to user brower?
where I can host images for my site. It will be thousands of smaller image like 5k - 30k. I am looking at free sites like imageshak. They say in their terms of service that I can host images for my site as long as I don't host all my images. So do you think that I could put like 20 thousand images on their site? These images would not get accessed too much so it won't slam their servers or anything.

I created a 4GB disk image for a virtual machine in Xen. (I have root on the physical box, so please don't tell me to contact my VPS provider!)
The disk was filling up, so I took the advice online and created a 6GB file with dd (zero-filled), cat'ed it to the end of my disk file, and then...
[matt@babe centos]$ sudo resize2fs -f ./cent.img
resize2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open ./cent.img
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Of course, fsck won't take a disk image, only an actual partition. And I can't mount it, since I get the same error about a bad superblock.
The VM actually boots up fine, but it only sees 4GB of what's now a 10GB file.
I can use losetup to mount it on a /dev, but still get fsck errors:
[matt@babe centos]$ sudo fsck.ext3 -b 8193 /dev/loop3
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/loop3
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
I don't know what blocksize was used, so I don't know where to look for a superblock... (I'm out of my league on fsck'ing virtual disks.)
The thing boots fine and is non-mission-critical right now, so worst-case, I can just mount it, rsync the data to the host, and then set up a new machine and rsync that in... I'd just rather not go through that hassle if I don't have to.
My goal is to block hotlinking of fullsize images and display a image when they attempt it... but allow clickable thumbnails to be shown. For some reason the following isn't working...

how much space should I need for Image hosting site?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have an image hosting project, which uses ~5Tb/mo,
Currently we are running it on Pentium D 2,8GHz CPU (Dual Core), 1Gb RAM, 2×160Gb 7200rpm IDE HDD for ~170$/mo.
We don't need much better hardware, but need some good hdds (IDE sucks) + RAID.
Stats for 20.03.08-30.03.08 (10 days) - incoming: 35 Gb, outgoing: 1.3 Tb
So it's about ~4 Tb/mo. And we want 5-6Tb for a reserve.

I trust i will get about 7k-10k page view everyday , may be 1k-2k unique visitor, just see image on my site, not direct link.
- Of course, i will start with shared hosting. But in future, do i need to updrage vps or server ?
- Does Image hosting make server load highly, using more resource on server?
- All images is legal and have adult content, of course sometime it will have some illegal image ( will be banned and deleted )? Can HPs will allow?
I have started a new image hosting website and currently i alloted 7 GB Disk Space and 30GB BW. I know it will not be enough after the site get famous. So which host i can go for to be in a safer side with my image hosting website?
