PERC6 and PE1950

2008-02-25 Thread Stanislav Ovcharenko
Hello all:
 
I know this has been discussed here before but last I heard people continue to 
have issues with new PE1950. I'd like to have a positive confirmation that new 
mfi driver will support PERC6i from Marco or someone who actually has new 1.16 
driver working with it before we make a purchase.
 
Thank you, Stas.

Re: PE1950

2007-11-22 Thread Stanislav Ovcharenko
We have a few PE1950s and they all came with PERC5 but the new ones I've been 
quoting up are PERC6's. So it definitely a new addition.

I'm confused. So does it or does it not work with mfi driver?
 
thank you, Stas.

The last PE 1950 we bought (2 months ago) came with PERC 5. I heard that
new hardware should arrive near december for the PE 1950.

PE1950

2007-11-21 Thread Stanislav Ovcharenko
Hello,
 
I'm planning on running OpenBSD 4.2 on Dell Power Edge 1950.
 
Question 1: How stable is it on x64 platform? I mean native 64 bit code. I 
assume that x86 code will run just fine ...
Question 2: Does anyone know if PERC 6 RAID controller is supported. The 
hardware list says that it will work with PERC 5 and I'm wondering if the same 
driver will detect and support the chipset on PERC 6 controller.
 
Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
Regards, Stas.

Re: filesystems?

I certainly wouldn't try writing to NTFS filesystem on any system other then
winnt especially in production.

I don't think it's actually possible to
shrink NTFS partition in a "Microsoft supported way" only "extend" it with
diskpart.

How stable a driver is doesn't indicate the actual level of success
writing {safely,properly,sanely} to a problematic filesystem.like
NTFS. It may
successfully corrupt data without crashing or throwing
errors at all.

Re: apr proxy problem

2007-09-06 Thread Stanislav Ovcharenko
yeah well, the problem is really with one of the windows servers in a NLB
multicast cluster. Two identically configured (to my knowledge) VPN servers
have two different IP address pools for incoming connections and the problem
is that one server once the connection is established responds to  ARP
requests for the client IP with correct true interface MAC and the other
server responds with virtual cluster MAC. ARP proxy seems to be a working
remedy for this issue but in reality it's not a solution. If I could find out
why BSD overwrites static arp entries I can let this issue with VPN cook a
little longer.

regards, S.

I had nothing but problems when trying to
use arp proxy.  I'd ditch it
and try something else (if possible).  What's the
eventual goal?

apr proxy problem

2007-09-05 Thread Stanislav Ovcharenko
I need to have ARP proxy running on my router/firewall loaded with OpenBSD
4.0. 
I'm seeing some behavior that is contradictory to what arp man page
says.

arp -an | grep em1 says
(111.111.111.111) at 00:cc:00:cc:00:cc 
on em1
permanent static published

and than ...

cat 
/var/log/messages | grep em1
tells me that
Sep 5 14:11:11 XXXYYY /bsd: arp 
info overwritten for
111.111.111.111 by 00:aa:00:aa:00:aa on em1

which is 
contrary to what arp
man page says about permanent attribute and what one would 
expect.

any info
why this is happening would be greatly appreciated, 
thanks for looking.
