Please don't mention Dell servers around me. For the last three years we
have had dell servers with attached storage. It has been a nightmare
from day one. First we had to have all the scsi disks (100 of them)
replaced becasue they were incompatible with the Dell backplanes (disks
were supplied by Dell), then we have had major issues with the Dell raid
cards not detecting dead raid disks, not rebuilding from a single dead
disk, the dell powervaults just turning themselves off etc.
Wow, your experience is opposite mine. I swear
by Dell servers, and have used nothing but in the past
7 years or so. No major problems at all, and over that
time we have only lost one drive in a RAID system, and it
rebuilt just fine. We cycle out the critical servers every 3-4 years,
but we have some of the older servers doing non-critical things, and
they are still going strong. Strange that we are having
such opposite experiences.
