[Cialug] First post - some OT

[Matt Breitbach]

Ok, so I was on the list a while ago, then got off it, and am now back on.
Great to be back.

 

First order of business - anyone interested in buying some old hardware?
I've got a bunch of stuff in various states of repair/dis-repair out of our
datacenter.  I'll list the best and brightest stuff first : 

 

Dell Powervault 220S - Dual Ultra160 controllers, 6 good 72GB HDD's, 2 bad
72GB HDD's, and caddy's for the other 7 drive bays.

 

Dell Poweredge 2350 - Dual P3 1.16ghz procs (i think, could be 1.4's but I'm
not positive) 512MB RAM, onboard SCSI and 2 15k RPM 18.2GB hot swap drives.

 

OOOOOLD coyote point equalizer - HDD is dead, board/proc/mem is good, and
case is beautiful - 3U case w/ 200W ATX power supply.

 

2-  2U servers, dual P3 800's w/ 512MB RAM, some have drives, some don't.

 

A bevy of Promise 2 port SATA RAID cards.  Mostly PCI, one or two PCI-E

 

Several old 3U servers - unknown condition.  Cases are fine, systems are
unknown working order.

 

4 - 1U pizza box servers - several are without boards/power supplies.  As is
condition.

 

4 - APC Masterswitches - moved everything into a bladecenter, don't need
them anymore.

 

That's most of it - shoot me an offer if you're interested in anything
above.

 

 

 

On to the second order of business that I've got -

 

Looking to install a linux blade in our bladecenter.  We will be using this
blade (see link below)  and we want to iSCSI boot - how well does CentOS 5
deal with iSCSI boot, and is there anything I should be watching out for?
