New Dell Poweredge Rails Too Short
May 6, 2008
We have a rack with a bunch of Dell servers in them. The distance between the front vertical mounting brackets and the rear vertical mounting brackets is just over 28 inches (715 mm). We've always used Dell static rails they and they have always fitted perfectly.
We have recently received some new Poweredge 2970s with Rapid / Versa rails, and it seems that the front and rear mounting brackets are only 24 inches (609 mm) apart.
Am I missing something? I can't find any way of adjusting the length of the Rapid / Versa rails.
It looks like we are going to have to pull all the gear out of the rack, move the rear mounting brackets forward, and put everything back in. This is a real nuisance (and I would do pretty much anything to avoid it).

There is a big difference in price between these two servers. I suspect the 1950 might be overkill.
My 15 websites are presently on a dedicated Celeron win 2003 server. Would the SC1435 make much difference in speed and tasking?
I presently am using an MS SQL DB hosted on a shared server. Is there any problem in putting the SQL DB on the same server as the sites are on? Is this a good or bad idea? Should the DB go on its own separate disk if on same server?

i notice the Dell do not configure the on board SATA to any RAID unless you purchase add on RAID adapter.
does this mean you can't configure it yourself? do dell poweredge onboard SATA controller support any RAID at all? do dell allow you to configure it yourself or you must purchase the add on RAID adapter?

I have a Dell Poweredge 2650
Specs:
Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz 400 MHz FSB
ServerWorks GC-LE Chipset supports five PCI buses: three PCI-X (1 x 64bit/133MHz,
2 x 64bit/100MHz), one 64bit/66MHz, one legacy bus (32bit/33MHz)
12 GB DDR PC 2700 ECC Registered
(X5) Maxtor Atlas 15k II 3.5 series Ultra320 SCA II 80 pin in RAID 5
PERC 3/DI RAID controller with 128MB or Cache with back-up battery
(X2) integrated Broadcom Gigabit BaseT with load balancing and failover support
INTEL PRO/1000 MF GIGABIT SERVER ADAPTER C2126 FIBER
J1679 DELL INTEL PRO1000MT DUAL CARD PCI-X
Dual 500 watt power-supplies
I have a few questions.
1) How many websites could a server like this handle on a 100 Mbps synchronous line?
2) Are there any colocation companies that would hook up to the fiber card for connection?
3) What is the best choice of action when dropping line to in in a colocation center? The dual on-board or the Dual Intel Pro/1000MT? I know that there is load balancing on the on-board Broadcom NICs but how do you use them for load balancing mode?? Then are seen as two separate NICs. I can drop as many lines as needed in the data center I am planing going into so number of lines is not an issue. let me know the best action on connectivity for my server with my specs provided.

I am putting some servers into a data center in downtown la for a hosting business. I want to put a firewall between the internet and these servers so I recently purchased an older poweredge 1550 to put the ipcop distro of linux on with the intention of making it a highly customizable firewall. The only problem is that it comes with the scsi drives and it's on a raid 5 array so the stock ipcop installer will not recognize the logical drive. Would anyone happen to know if any of the drivers on the dell site will work with the ipcop distro of linux?
Assuming this doesn't end up working out, does anyone have any suggestions for a different firewall solution to use for a hosting company?

I have a Dell 2850 with 6 HD's:
2x36 GB in a RAID 1 with LD 0 of 36GB (the HD's changed to 1x72 & 1x144 and is working fine)
3x72 GB in a RAID 5 with LD 1 of 144GB
1x72 GB as a HotSpare
The 'problem/chalange' is as follows:
The LD 0 RAID 1 is getting too small (2x36GB seen as 36) for my Windows 2008 server C drive. So I changed one 36 GB disk for a 72GB and after a couple of days the other 36 GB to a 144 GB disk (because I had those two and not 2x72 GB or 2x144 GB). Everything is working fine in this RAID 1. But now I want to enlarge/expand de Logical Drive (LD no. 0) from 36 GB to 72 GB.
I only managed to make an extra (third) Logical Drive (LD no. 2 of 36 GB).
Now I do not know how to delete this extra LD 2 on RAID 1 AND how to expand the RAID 1 LD 0 into a LD of 72 GB.
The problem is that I do not know which option to choose in the RAID controller panel (ctrl+m during the bootup progres screen).
Who knows which buttons to press or a Windows based program to configure the RAID?

Is there any way to use SATA harddrives instead of SCSI harddrives with a Dell Poweredge 2650? I purchased the Dell on the cheap. It came with one 36GB SCSI drive. Four more hotswap slots. No sleds/caddies/trays for additional drives, so I need those as well.
Looking at the market (eBay mainly) for used SCSI harddrives, it's pretty pricey to get drives of a decent size (73gb+, $50+ each). I would like to use SATA drives instead (get them brand new vs. used SCSI). Problem is this server does not have an embedded SATA controller, just the SCSI Perc3/DI controller. So maybe get a 3ware 8000 series SATA controller + sata drives + trays? Is that possible? There are no molex connectors inside the server. Power to the harddrives comes from the SCSI backplane.
The server will be just for my personal stuff (personal web site, DNS, etc), nothing mission critical. Just trying to save a few bucks buying cheap large capacity SATA drives vs. used smaller capacity SCSI drives.

Right im about to invest in some new equipment for the business and am looking at one of the 2 above servers. Does anyone have any experience with both or either?
The spec of the machine to start is as follows:
HP Proliant DL380 G5
Intel Quad-Core Xeon 2.5Ghz
4GB Ram
3x 146GB SAS Hotswap RAID5 (OS)
5x 146GB SAS Hotswap RAID5 (Storage)
Dell Poweredge 2950 III
Intel Quad-Core Xeon 2.5Ghz
4GB Ram
3x 146GB SAS RAID5 (OS)
5x 146GB SAS RAID5 (Storage)
Both are near identical specs and the price of the HP is slightly more, is it worth it?

I look after a Dell PE2800 server, it has a pair of 5.25 bays on the front, the top most of the two contains a Dell PowerVault 100T DAT72 tape backup drive. I have a second identical drive that i now wish to install into the bay beneath in a similar manner.
Problem is this - my colleague tell me that Dell are no longer selling the mounting brackets / rails needed to install the drive. I have had a fruitless look through the internet for a number of weeks now and hope that someone in the forum may be able to suggest a solution to the problem... anybody know a source for the brackets? Is there a parts site somewhere ive missed? Anyone happen to have what im after? Or any alternative suggestions?

I registered my ns1/ns2 at godaddy already, I THINK I have configured the ns1/ns2 with their ips in the server, however, I think the ips for ns1/ns2 are not correctly configured in my server, as otherwise, I would be able to browse the ips in the browser and they would go to my server apache page or the like, the main ip obviously work fine and go to apache.
what should I do for the ns1 and ns2 ip addresses to go into my server, I think this is the problem why my dns are not working
I think the ip addresses are not the problem as I checked them at dnsstuff.com and when I check my ns1/ns2 it displays the ip and their info, which is my provider info, seem's they are very valid.

I have a short list of hosts I'm considering for either my main or backup host. I am currently with A Small Orange in Atlanta who seems to be fairly stable.
Here's the list:
iHubNet.com
MidPulse.com
SharkSpace.com
AspirationHosting.com
I like that iHubNet has their own servers. The comments that folks like Matt A make on this board to be helpful have caught my attention.
My web site has a domain and two parked domains. About 50 subdomanins and is typically 300 to 450MB in size. It uses about that much in bandwidth a month, mostly from clients downloading audio mp3's of voiceover work. The site staying online is important.
I just don't seem to read much on this board about some of these hosts and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them?

I have been with epicvps for past 3 months we are under un-managed plan, but the staff have been pretty supportive than we had actually anticipated its almost like being under a semi-managed service
There hasn't been long down time on our vps so far and the service has pretty good for the cheapest prices they offer around
Usually most of their live support staff have good knowledge about sales and support which is an additional advantage for any one who would wish to join their service
not to mention their speeds its been great
Though I wouldn't like to interpret my domain over here, I am more than pleased to announce I am very happy to announce their excellent service
We had earlier worked with 2 other non-managed vps services, which were no more than ordinary but epic has been fantastic
We are looking forward for a longer healthier relationship with epicvps
My suggestion on epic :Go for it,one of the best I have seen around
I had searched for a long time for reliable and cheaper vps and I am glad I am at the right place for it
Good work epic team hope you could maintain your standard may be increase your standard even more to reach the peak

I’m have always used a Windows VPS in the US so I can test my websites from the US and other websites. Since I’m only using this VPS for Internet access, I have a goal to pay as little as possible for the VPS.
I did see another thread here at WHT about [url] and they had a VERY good price on a VPS with 512 MB of RAM, 15 GB of disk, 1000 GB of BW and Windows 2003 server with Plesk 30 domain.
The setup was average, about 5 hours from payment. But my VPS was placed on a VPS node with 60-90% average load, and the VPS was VERY slow.
I opened a ticket, and they moved my VPS to another VPS node with lower CPU load (around 30%), and the VPS speed was OK.
But I did have some problems with plesk, and the only way logging in to Plesk was to poen Plesk control panel direct on the VPS.
After some days I did not have access to Remote Desktop anymore. I did get the message that I had more RDC connections that was allowed.
I opened a ticket and they did reply and work on this problem over several days: .....

Let me first start by saying that I have read a lot of reviews on WHT about various VPS providers. I wasn't sure which provider I liked the best and a lot of reviews came to different conclusions. My decision came down to Slicehost. I really liked that Slicehost is a VPS solution made for developers and that Slicehost has solid community support. But the wait is what killed Slicehost chances of snagging me as customer.
I started digging more on WHT and finally came across a promo that BigVPS offered to WHT members. I read more about BigVPS on WHT (their website leaves little to be desired).
I noticed that one of their main employees, Ray, writes with professionalism and was quick to address each WHT concerns and questions regarding BigVPS.
I finally took the plunge and decided to sign up. I signed up for their 512 MB VPS plan with 500 GB of bandwidth. I have been a customer for a little over a month now and I have been very pleased. Just recently, I had an issue with the Xen Debian kernel and IPTables support and Ray was quick to point me in the right direction on how to solve the problem I was having. Ray has always written with clarity and professionalism. I really respect that.
So far I am a happy BigVPS (Color4Jax) customer and I wanted to share my experience with all!

I 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?

Some of my Linux(WHM/Cpanel) hosted domains have a weird problem. They randomly become unavailable to me for periods of half hour to 2 hours. During this time I get a server not found error and I cannot access the domains through FTP either. However if I use a proxy or try to reach the domain through another server using RDC I am able to reach it.

Long story short, my father owns a commercial/industrial distribution company where I work as a broker between contractors and manufacturers.
Our current IT Department (who has no formal computer training) has become more useless to me over the past year and are turning my computer into a counterproductive experience which has about driven me off the deep end.
I am therefore deciding to do the unthinkable and break off of the companies server and start working through one of my own here at home.
Ill basically need the machine to act as a place that recieves and stores emails then distributes out to my machines (laptop, desktop)whatever is connected to it, store and access job files/information, and I would like to be able to hook up to my server at work to access a particular program they use on their server, i guess I could probably just install the program on my server too.
I would also like it for personal use and storage as well as possibly hosting my own website (personal website).
I am looking to get a Dell Poweredge 1950 with some solid specs (spend about 4500) to get me going and will be taking classes at the local CC to educate me on running this thing.
I have a few questions about servers in general.
1. Is it possible for me to connect to the current server at my company to exchange or access files/ programs?
2. Can I do this without compromising the security of the server at work? (security is their #1 argument against everything, they told me once that mozilla on my machine compromised the security of the system - BS)
3. Can I run Apples for my workstation and laptop and still interface with the VMware software?
4. I am currently on FIOS here at home, will I need a new dedicated internet line to run the server? what do I need for speed!??
Thanks guys!
I am still totally new to this whole server scene so I apologize if some of my questions are completely insignificant. I am trying to read around as much as possible but I want to get started on this so i thought i would try and get some direction.

Just picked up some used Dell PE 1750's, and was planning to add Drac's in them, but I can't seem to find which drac to use. Anyone that has any experience with this model?
Talked with a salesperson at Dell, first he didn't seem to know what Drac was, and after a while he came back to me with Drac IV which fits into PE1850. He belived it also should fit into 1750, but I don't belive that.

I got a Dell PowerEdge 850 a couple of years ago, with a 2.8Ghz P4D processor and 2GB RAM. It's currently on CentOS 4 and running quite well with H-Sphere. I host on it a couple of sites coded in PHP, and sometimes a game server or two.
I'm currently thinking of moving on to Windows Server 2008 as I'm intending to put up a web app using ASP.Net. As you can see, my system isn't really a beefy machine, and I was wondering if I would be able to run the new OS on it and continue to be able to achieve a satisfactory performance?
