[WISPA] Good Source for Rackmount Servers?
I have a need for about ten 2U/4U rackmount servers.All will be running Linux, so 4gig RAM, 2ghz or better CPU and ATA drives are preferred. Does anyone one the list have recommendations?

Re: [WISPA] Good Source for Rackmount Servers?
There are several sellers on eBay selling Dell servers. We almost exclusively buy off eBay when it comes to servers. Lots of Dell/IBM/Etc. hardware with warranties. I just purchased 5 Poweredge 1850¹s for a client. 2x 3.4 Xeons with 4 gigs of ram, etc. $300 a server. All had a 1 year warrnaty. Space was a concern so we went with the 1U boxes. I know some guys don¹t like the 1U boxes because of proprietary fans, power, etc. But at $300 a server we have extras. If I had more room in my colo space I would have bought some for myself. Just read the descriptions. Many times the drives are gone, no rails, or no bezels. Easy enough to overlook if you are in a hurry. -- Justin Wilson j...@mtin.net http://www.mtin.net/blog xISP News http://www.twitter.com/j2sw Follow me on Twitter Wisp Consulting Tower Climbing Network Support From: Matt Larsen - Lists li...@manageisp.com Reply-To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:15:13 -0600 To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Subject: [WISPA] Good Source for Rackmount Servers?

Re: [WISPA] Good Source for Rackmount Servers?
Agreed. We've run HP and Dell servers for years and have been happy, but we had no idea what we were missing once we virtualized everything. We purchased a Dell blade chassis and three blade servers to start with. Loaded VMware and have been blown away with the performance, availability, power savings and features. A server to us now amounts to just a file within VMware that we can copy, backup or move wherever we please with a simple cut paste. If VMware sees a server go down or a host within your cluster fail it will automatically fire up the affected servers on a different host. Really cool stuff. The chassis will hold 16 blades, but just the three blades we have now are probably 100x the power of the two 42U cabinets stuffed with servers they replaced!

Re: [WISPA] Changign DHCP timeout XP/WIn7
You know I have a faster option. Buy a USB Ethernet port for a laptop that you assign a static and switch back and forth cable wise. I have a desktop PC that actually has 3 Ethernet cards one with a Static for our local network, 1 with a static ip for programming UBNT and Tranzeos in bridge mode, and 1 with a dynamic ip for cpe's that hand out dhcp. All we do is switch the cable that plugs into the POE. Takes 2 seconds to switch between dhcp and static. I use NET Profiles for changing the static from one range to another.

He is building a new 110' grain leg and was inquiring on what it would take to do wireless Internet from it. He says he has DSL now from a rural telephone coop but they won't sell him wireless service from one of their towers ½ mile away because he has DSL. This farmer would like to get rid of his phone line and all of the expense and taxes with it. Obviously, the rural telco does not want to give up their USF subsidies by converting this customer over to wireless. I was able to locate a WISPA member within 40 miles of his farm and introduced the two. I hope it works out for both the farmer and the WISPA member. The reason I bring this up is that it is evidence that USF subsidies are outdated and burdensome to Broadband competition and deployment. The loss of income from federal USF subsidies, far outweigh the cost savings to the customer. It is no wonder that people want to ditch their phone lines so badly. With the federal government subsidizing this ancient copper telco infrastructure at an estimated average of $17,000 per line per year, common sense would tell every taxpayer in the US that the time for USF reform is now. Is it time to make some noise about this unfairness in the market place? I think so!

Re: [WISPA] Good Source for Rackmount Servers?
There's one in the Dell Outlet right now for $9919.00 with 15 2TB 7.2K RPM drives. About 7-15x the storage you're looking for depending on how you configure. I think that's about what we paid for 15 750GB 15K RPM drives. Dell put together a complete turn-key package for us including the VMwave licensing platinum support, storage, chassis, blades, Dell support and warranty. We were lucky and found most of what we needed in the Dell Outlet saving us a good amount of money. We didn't see any reason not to go with the outlet gear because it has the same warranty as new Dell gear.

Re: [WISPA] Good Source for Rackmount Servers?
Dell Outlet is 90% new dell stuff that was shipped twice, almost always still in the box. Someone ordered the wrong thing for example.

About 7-15x the storage you're looking for depending on how you configure. I think that's about what we paid for 15 750GB 15K RPM drives. Dell put together a complete turn-key package for us including the VMwave licensing platinum support, storage, chassis, blades, Dell support and warranty. We were lucky and found most of what we needed in the Dell Outlet saving us a good amount of money. We didn't see any reason not to go with the outlet gear because it has the same warranty as new Dell gear.

That's pretty cool. What are you using for shared storage? On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 8:41 AM, Brad Belton b...@belwave.com wrote: Agreed. We’ve run HP and Dell servers for years and have been happy, but we had no idea what we were missing once we virtualized everything. We purchased a Dell blade chassis and three blade servers to start with. Loaded VMware and have been blown away with the performance, availability, power savings and features. A “server” to us now amounts to just a file within VMware that we can copy, backup or move wherever we please with a simple cut paste. If VMware “sees” a server go down or a host within your cluster fail it will automatically fire up the affected servers on a different host. Really cool stuff… The chassis will hold 16 blades, but just the three blades we have now are probably 100x the power of the two 42U cabinets stuffed with servers they replaced!

Re: [WISPA] Trango APEX v1.3.0 live
Hey Steven, I upgraded one of our apex links this morning and its been fine all day in the wild pushing about 50Mb. I have a few questions to compare with you though, I emailed Trango tech support but I never heard anything back. Maybe I have the wrong email, its like they never get them?? First, I could not upgrade the sys_rfm_v130.F915283E file. The bootimage upgrade 4 command returned FAILED. Re-downloaded the file from the ftp site and re-tftp'd it to the radio tried again and still no love - on either radio. I proceeded without it and its been working fine. I'd like to know if you had the same problem and if you know what that system file is for. It looks like a big text file with OIDs or something. Second, after the upgrade, in the web interface under statistics I think, it shows the modulation at the top as QPSK for both sides but it isn't - a speed command or status modem command from the CLI returns 256QAM both sides at 250Mb. The previous v123 firmware worked properly I'm pretty sure I would have notice that before. Lastly, since you were discussing the new firmware on the phone with them do you happen to know any of the changes in this newer version?

[WISPA] Inexpensive outdoor netcam
I'm looking for an inexpensive outdoor netcam. Inexpensive because funds are slim as I rebuild the network I just bought. I need it because a tower of mine was vandalized today. -- - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Inexpensive outdoor netcam
You really get what you pay for on these. The cheap IP cams are mostly too crummy to get anything other than a vague, pixelated image at the distance you'd probably have to mount the camera. You mught take a look at Vivotek which we've found to be pretty good at the lower end of the market. On any IP camera, the lens really makes the difference. Some of the best (expensive) retrofit lenses are made by GBO, but you can get remarkably good quality without spending a fortune by re-puposing a high-quality 35mm lens from an old still camera. Adaptors for this purpose are available from Ebay or BH.
