IA-64 Installation Whoas
by LDB 30 May '06

30 May '06

I have tried to install SLES 9 on an intel IA-64 server. When yast starts up the whole installation freezes. This happens no matter what options I pass to the kernel. Here is the hardware description: http://developer.intel.com/design/servers/platforms/sr870bh2/index.htm Any ideas or is there another list tailored to IA64? I should say it was already suggested that I use SP3 CDs for the installation as opposed to the original. Thanks, LDB

Re: [suse-amd64] Sata Raid Controller for 64 bit?

Hi to all, I got the 9550SX-4LP. It works great. OS: Suse 10. The only thing I had to do is a firmware update to the controller and to specify the drivers at Suse installation. Now, I read about some problems when updating Suse ... more exactly a kernel update, that the drives are not seen anymore after a reboot. I would like to update the suse but I work remote and if the system doesn't boot anymore then I have BIG problems. Do you have any suggestions? or... it should work well....

Hi again, We had this discution last year. Now I have time to reinstall the system... and to order the raid controller. I will buy one of these: 3WARE 9500S-4 4HD RAID 3WARE 8506- 4 4HD RAID. OS will be Suse 9.1(maybe 10... but not 100%) I have 4 SATA HDD's and want to build a 10 Raid. According to some benchmarks the 8506 is faster then the 9500S. http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content.asp?id=9500s4lp&page=8 Now, I don't know which one should I buy. The price difference is 30 EURO more for the 9500. Any suggestion is welcome.

But is there a web admin interface for SLES 9? VNC works, but from what I see in SLES8 there is a web interface administration tool. In 9?

Hi to all, I just installed Suse Enterprise 9 and I read in the documentation that there is a web administration interface for managing the server. Is this OpenWbem??? ... if yes then.... HOW Do I use it? I'm trying to make it work somehow, but can't find the "main ideea".I followed http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/14625.html these suggestions, but still don't get the main Ideea. Am I missing something? I saw a screenshot from SLES 8 web interface from a browser, it looked really ok... I want the same in SLES 9. Regards, Andy.

Sata Raid Controller for 64 bit?
by Andy 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hi to all, We have a Fujitsu Siemens Econel 200 Server. 2x Intel Xeon 2.8, 2x SATA HDD. Suse 9.1 64 Prof is installed. At the moment we are using a software raid, but we want to buy 2 more HDD's and implement a 0+1 or 1+0 RAID. I looked over and over about raid controllers, have found from 120 EURO's to 1000 EURO's but there seems to be a little problematic the Suse 64 driver. A very convenient driver would be the Promise FastTrack S150 TX4 or SX4 controller but I still don't know if the drivers are quite functional. The tx4 seems faster as the sx4 but has no 64 driver. We had in the past some problems with hardware raid controller on suse. Does anyone uses some good raid controllers and could give me some informations? Regards, Andy.
