That probably had something to do with it. We currently have over 2 GB of RAM and 2 1.26 GB processors in the DL 360's so we haven't noted a performance decrease. _____ Brian Claus, A+, Network+, MCP Network Administrator WESCO Distribution, Inc.

You're right in the fact that you can use it whist rebuilding, but our baseline team set the standard that you don't do that... Performance lags a bit & when you throttle the rebuild all the way up on the servers we tested this on, the server was nearly unuseable... But that was a couple of years ago too. -----Original Message----- From: Claus, Brian [mailto:BClaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 12:58 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Compaq DL 360's Awesome replication trick! We do use this as DRP for a few select servers. There is no rebuild time...just pop in the disk and power it up. You can effectively use the server while the mirror is rebuilding. (approx 1-2 hours to rebuild the mirror) _____ Brian Claus, A+, Network+, MCP Network Administrator WESCO Distribution, Inc.

We tried that as a DRP solution by putting a mirrored disk off site. Problem is rebuild times... I've seen 1 to 2 hour rebuild times where Ghost takes about 10 minutes... -----Original Message----- From: Claus, Brian [mailto:BClaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 11:55 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Compaq DL 360's Awesome replication trick! On a Compaq DL360 with a RAID-1 array using the integrated Smart Array Controller: Shut down the server normally, remove hard drive 1 (the one on the right) Boot up, press F2 for rebuild drive. When you get to the OS on the reboot, simply pop in another hard drive and let the mirror re-create. Now you can play around and mess things up....if you need to, shut down and remove both drives, then just put the old HD 1 in the RIGHT HD slot and boot up....voila you're back where you were. This can also be used to create a Citrix farm that is exactly the same on each server, just keep breaking the mirrors and bringing up a new server. Re-IP and rename and join your domain and you've got a carbon copy server. Cheers!
