Tell them they get an additional coffee break.. it's the same but you don't have to change your clothes every time the server goes down :-)

thank you everyone for great ideas!

Gotta go put my flame retardant suit on and tell the users their server will be going down for 15 minutes or so :)

I used to work at a testlab that worked on prototype HP netservers and other products. Whenever we had a single problem we would swap out the NetRaid card. If you have a spare one give that a try. If not then I would recommend making sure the firmware was updated. If that doesn't work for you then what slot is it installed in? If it's in #5 move it over to a more reliable one like #3. (I don't know why this works but it does) Do you have any other HP cards installed in there? Some of them have a notorious history of not getting along.

Hi all.


one of my Exchange 2000 back-end servers is HP NetServer TC4100. It is
pretty new, it only has been in production for a couple of months. Dual
1.4GHz CPUs and 4GB RAM. NetRAID-2M raid controller, RAID1 + RAID1 +
RAID5. Onboard 100Mbs NIC. Currently there are about 350 mailboxes on
it.

OS is Windows 2000 SP3. Exchange 2000 is up to SP3.

Every few days the POS freezes and I have to cold boot it. I think it
usually does so when I back up Exchange with Legato networker. But the
other day it froze in the middle of NTBackup.

I hope that someone in here maybe has had good experience with HP
Netserver machines to point me in the right direction. I myself is a
Proliant type of a guy.

Thanks!
