This server will funtion as a database server will that will store and select many chunks of small data at very high speeds. The hard drives will be in a raid 5 configuration with both the OS and the database being on the array. The OS will not be used too much but it will be on a redundant array along with the database.
The server needs to have hot swappable drives so I am going to buy the SCSI chasis with SAF-TE The Adaptec controller also has support for SAF-TE
The PSU is a redundant one because shutting down/rebooting this machine will be avoided at all costs. It is a mission critical server.
The OS will be SUSE 64-bit running mysql 64bit binaries.
I would be very gratful if you guys please review over the components and give me the OK to buy?
I will make sure to get good PC 3200 ECC REGISTERED RAM but if you guys have any good links, please link me
I plan to use Suse 9 64 bit. The server will run mysql only. How is the installation for Suse 9 with a Megaraid 320-1?
Thank you!
