Hello,
We have been running Open-E v6 FULL on our PowerEdge 2950 for a few years now, and it works just fine. I seem to remember that there is a single spare SATA socket on the motherboard, so Open-E can be installed on a DOM, leaving all you hard disk bays free for data storage.
We are using a PERC6 controller now with SATA and SAS drives. Previously we just used the onboard NON-RAID controller with SATA drives in software RAID, which also worked.
I have no experience with the Tape Drive, I'm afraid.
Best regards
TFZ
If it can go wrong, it generally will!
Hi,
Thank you for the quick and helpful reply!
Open-e will shiped on a pre-installed usb-dom?
On which port do you installed it - the internal sata port or using the external usb (eg. usb stick) ?
If I boot up the Open-e live system (not install), and the tape drive will display under tape device, can I assume that the tape is working ?
Best,
T.
Any news on the dell front?
Hello techfreakz,
Do you have experience using a usb stick for open-e?
Because It seems to be a special issue to activate the usb-boot on a poweredge 2950.
Secondly: Do you have experience with the dell special drive bay style (satu) ?
Best,
T.

How long should this operation take? Its been over an hour and I am still seeing the message
"This function is not available, because a backup function is currently in use"
When you select Erase when creating a pool how long should that tape.
Many thanks
