It's cool that you are getting enough of them that you will have "spares" on hand for about everything which should reduce the repairs turn-around time. :-) Jeff Lawson wrote: decommissioned so they are not modern hardware... However they have the benefit of being available to us at zero cost. (If you happen to be aware of another source of rackmount machines of high quality and capability but at zero cost, we would certainly be interested in hearing about it!) Our CPU demands are not currently very high, based on the utilization on the current hardware. See http://faq.distributed.net/?file=63 We'll be getting a mix of old HP ProLiant 140 and 145 (G2) systems with built-in LOM, so we should be able to remotely handle more conditions that would previous require on-site intervention. Replacement components should be readily available since we'll actually be receiving a total of 6 of these machines and keeping the remaining 4 in storage. Since we'll be running two machines with failover capability between them, this should hopefully minimize visible outages. ]:8) _______________________________________________ rc5 mailing list rc5-Ra3b/QYEcJ3d140v2zMXi0fjHoOT/h/[email protected] http://lists.distributed.net/mailman/listinfo/rc5 As I mentioned, these are donated machines that are being _______________________________________________ rc5 mailing list rc5-Ra3b/QYEcJ3d140v2zMXi0fjHoOT/h/[email protected] http://lists.distributed.net/mailman/listinfo/rc5
