one of my servers has 2x250gb hard drives in hardware RAID 0 using a 3ware controller, but ive now got the following error message 3 times prior to 3 server crashes, my server supplier beleves it one of the drives failing (i have backups on a non raid drive so rthats fine) but i suspect the controller, whats everyone else think...

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 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?
3w-9xxx: scsi0: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x0053): Battery capacity test is overdue:.
When I'm in the CLI console (tw_cli) and tries to test the battery, I'm seeing the following:
Quote:
//vpsXX1> /c0/bbu test 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.
This problem has happened to me twice on the very same server. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it.
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.
We 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.
Which technology can be used to do this? Samba,Ldap, NFs or what?
if anyone knows of any shared hosting company that supports the out-of-the-box Model-View-Controller (MVC) asp.net template and which version (the latest at the moment is Preview 5).
Moreover, does it support .net 3.5 with sp1, IIS7, SQL 2005 and ajax control tookit?
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.
I bought a VPS a few days ago and I'm trying to run a SHOUTcast on it.
The VPS is Linux, CentOs to be more specific.
I've installed Shoutcast and it's running, It's working with WinAmp as the website I'm running it on tells me what song is currently playing, how many listeners there are, etc.
1.) Is there a way to send signals via Windows? I need a way to have shoutcast reload it's configuration file without kicking the users. Normally, on *nix, you could just send the kill -s SIGHUP command and it'd do it. But I can't figure out a way to do this on windows.
If this isn't possible, does anyone know if you can run shoutcast RELIABLY under cygwin?
2.) The LogFormat that shoutcast outputs looks like this:
Code: c-ip c-dns date time cs-uri-stem c-status cs(User-Agent) sc-bytes x-duration avgbandwidth the problem is that cs-uri-stem doesn't include cs-method ("GET") so AWStats fails with the import of the log. Is there a way to manually add this into the way AWStats parses it?
If not, is there a special way to parse shoutcast w3c logs in AWStats?
weve had a box at fdc for over a year. everything was fine until about half that time ago and consistently has gotten worse over time. We've always been really good at tracking down problems til now.
traceroute and ping results are usually pretty normal, the machine is not overloaded however our server can barely handle any amount of listeners anymore, in fact it appears as tho the number of listeners has no effect on the server skipping and buffering every few minutes.
we've changed the sources its been fed from
checked the connection from multiple locations
ping and trace results are always decent or shouldnt warrant skipping with any number listeners. in a year weve gone from consistently hosting 100+ to barely getting over 20 and often less lately. its a huge bummer.
Me and a few friends of mine are planing on creating a Shoutcast online radio station and honestly I'm new to how Shoutcast servers work and witch host would be best for me and my friends. I have a few questions on all this.
Am I suck using Winamp to play our music over the server? Or are there other more professional tools to use?
This server will be used among a few friends of mine. So if no one us broadcasting will the server play a song play list till some one starts broadcasting?
Shoutcast servers only Stream music to Winamp players only?
Anyone here got any experience with “rackedhosting.com” Shoutcast service?
for what ever reason when i try to tune in to my radio it takes more than 10 seconds for the radio to start playing (specially on my port 8000). while other stations (competition) start right away.
my question is does it matter if i have my dns like this: [url]:8000 instead of [url]:8000 or do i have to look for something else not well configure?
with installing a SHOUTcast server to my VPS? I googled all around and followed the tutorials but I can't seem to do it. I'm also having some trouble SSH into the server.
