Tim is right,
I just decommisioned several Compaq 3000 & 6000 proliant servers at ADP (
Payroll Division ) that we donated to non profits, and the drives can be
expensive, however as long as you have the hotswap drive carrier, you can
use most vendors 80 pin SCSI drives.
A good resource is http://www.weirdstuff.com/ in Sunnyvale California. They
have a large selection of older Compaq Proliant drives and servers.
Most non profits won't budget for new hardware, they rely on donations from
the private sector. It is a challange for event the best of Admins, however
it's a great place to donate time, or for some one that is semi-retired to
work ( As long as you can suplement your income with some form of
Retirement ).
Hope every one has a Happy New Year!
Jose :-)

Its 4 on the left and 3 on the right. These drive can be hard to come
by and are really expensive... Loading Server 2003 on the 3000 is a
PITA! Why not just pick up a an HP-360? You could get one with a pair
of 72GB drives, easy loading of server 2003, Xeon processors. They are
well under $10,000. You can even get an HP-380 with 6 drives for under
that...
Just my 2 cents... We are awaiting our replacement server now...

The Proliant 3000 is an older server, but for simple file and print
services it'll do just fine, it's dual processor capable and runs PIII
up to 600Mhz. I would take a closer look at your drive space, 5GB is
just an odd number for total disk space. Sounds maybe like it's been
split into separate partitions or even arrays. The 3000, if I remember
right, has 6 - 1.6inch drive slots or 8 - 1inch drive slots, either way
it just doesn't add up to a total of 5GB. Being a non-profit school I'm
guessing the board is going to frown on you spending 10+ thousand on a
hotrod server, instead spend just a few grand for 5 drives, a mirrored
pair for the system and then a raid 5 for the data.
Just my 2cents,
George

I have recently "inherited" the job of Administrator for a Small
Business Network of a Non Profit School and have many questions.
I am working with a Compaq ProLiant 3000 Server with slightly less than
5 GB hard drive space. SBS 2003 calls for 4 GB but when the hotfixes and
service pacs get installed, it claims to be out of disk capacity. I
inherited the server with SBS 2003 installed. I do not know what
procedure the former Administrator used to prepare the Server for the
installation.
Question #1. Buy new server with better capabilities?
Question #2. Would larger hard drive be acceptable on older server with
standard SBS 2003 installed?
