Or Openfiler, don't know if it can run from a flash drive or not, haven't checked. I picked it over FreeNAS at home as Openfiler had VMtools.
The install takes up a couple of gig if I remember correctly.

Its BSD based, so I think you are going to lose openmanage, but the OS will run off of a Flash Drive. I installed and ran it once, I had a P3 933, about 8 IDE Drives in RAID 0 array for a totals storage size of about 200 GB. It worked, made a great ISCSI target. It was slow as could possibly be (5400RPM Drives) . After I thought about how much juice it was sucking, and heat it was producing, I threw it in the trash and went out and bought a USB External drive. But it was COOL !

This would be ok (not great) if I knew how to setup these servers as iSCSI targets. ,Josh From: N Parr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 9:15 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Iscsi from old server If they're Dell servers wouldn't you continue to run Openmanage on them? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 8:05 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Iscsi from old server I?d like to make a couple of old server into iSCSI targets. Anyone know of a good way to do this and keep the accountability that comes with Dell Openmanage software? I don?t really want to go back down to nothing but storage on these servers unless there is a way that I can still be alerted in case of a hardware failure.
