Hi, I have a server with a couple of hard disk and it looks to me like (at least) one of them is spinning down when there are a few seconds of inactivity.
Consistent usage provides great performance but once I let the system sit idle for around 30 seconds a subsequent command takes a long time to start. If I'm sitting by the machine I hear some whirring and clicking. Is this possible? If so, how do I prevent it? I checked the BIOS and there didn't seem to be any settings to control power management. The system is: Solaris 10 x86 Intel SE7500CW2 (Dual Xeon) Disks: Vendor 'Gen-ATA ' Product 'Maxtor 6Y160P0' Vendor 'Gen-ATA ' Product 'IC35L080AVVA07-0' (neither one of these seem to have a jumper to prevent spin-down) Thanks, Mark _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
