Burst water pipe in my basement.... demo's delayed. Sorry. Fortunately no kit was damaged, so probably only a day or two behind. Mike

I'll look forward to the demo. 2009/2/20 Mike Knisely <mknis...@mtbt.com> You'll need to make certain that the hardware you have is supported by the ESX hypervisor. You need some pretty contemporary kit for it. I'm running that version on my ML350G5, but it won't run on my G3. The installation and basic configuration is so simple that anyone that's installed XP can do it. Basically, you boot from the CD and give the machine a hostname and IP address. What I think would be good to demo is how we setup an Endian box (or any other firewall distro for that matter) on an ESX server. I've done this many times in my lab and would be willing to create a demo. I'll try to get a video together and uploaded to youtube. It won't be until Thursday morning at the earliest. Sound good?

I would love to see your demo/howto to set it up. Just got myself an old machine that I can use. Regards, A. Syadiqin 2009/2/20 Mike Knisely <mknis...@mtbt.com> I'd be willing to give a quick demo on this. It's truely amazingly easy to setup.

I like the way you put it. :P .... But I have no experience running VMWare and I'm not confident that I could get it to work without any hitch. Anyway, I am now more inclined towards swapping the box with the MySQL server. 2009/2/19 Mike Knisely <mknis...@mtbt.com> I'd go the VMWare ESX3i way if I were in your shoes. It's an amazing platform that will allow you to use more of the obscene power of that box. Running Endian on it is a little like using an F-350 Super Duty as a commuter car.

Thanks for that, mike. Though I agree with most of the suggestions posted so far, the fact is that I am now stuck with this server. Unfortunately, the company have put their trust on me to get this to work. If there is no other way for me to get Endian 2.2 RC3 to work on this server, I might suggest swapping the server with the MySQL server, which is running on a Dell PowerEdge 850 (same machine as the current working Endian Firewall 2.1). So far, the replies I received are alternatives rather than a fix. 1) Disable hardware RAID and use software RAID if that work 2) Use VMWare/Xenware Looking at the dump, I think Mike is correct to say that the mptsas module is the cause but then I am no expert. Anyway, unless someone has any valid solution to actually fix this, I will follow the majority of the ppl and agree that its simply not possible to install Endian 2.2 RC3 on this server. Thanks to everyone who posted their opinions/suggestions.

Software Raid setup is in the install Wizard so it's not that bad. -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Efw-user mailing list Efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user -- =================================================================================== DISCLAIMER This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
