Anyone set up a disk array before. I bought this pacific micro data "mats disc array" and not sure best way to hook it up. I am real curious on whats is on the disk it came from interplay. Here are pics of it www.macleodwestern.com/dev/scsi1.JPG www.macleodwestern.com/dev/scsi2.JPG
ahh looks like you are the one who stole me the thing from ebay =) if you are interested in selling it iam glad to take it =) should be a standard ethernet connection only problem maybe to find the right ip for the thing
Yep I was high bidder in the begging and in the end. I also won the tape back up system. should be in next week I have the ip, it was written on the back,but it does not respond to a ping. Do you have any idea if these array systems use admin software to configure it.
you have to find the manual which isnt quite easy cause if iam not fully wrong this thing could maybe configured via a webbrowser so try just to connect via internetexplorer or so (manual could be somewhere on the net as pdf or so) ah since you state it doesnt react on a ping hmm thats a bit harder btw. i havent found mouch on that array when i was thinking about buying it, ill think if you use google and then go to google groups for newsgroup search you find some posts on the array
I thought the same thing for a web browser but had no luck. I have tried google and yahoo. If you want to know the default password I found about 30 sites with it. I also tried to find the commpany web site and had about as much luck as winning a lottery. I did find they use the cmd 5300 raid controller. The back of the raid box does have two scsi 3 controller doubt I would have any worse luck buying a scsi III card and trying that route.
This is a simplistic solution but it would work....the IP is probably one of the fixed non-internet addresses (168.72.x.x. or whatever it is). You only(!) have 65536 (256*256) possible values. So you could write a simple proggie in a dos cmd file to ping all values. Log the output and grep it for a successful ping. e.g. C:\ findip.bat > findit.log where find ip.bat contains ping 168.72.0.0 ping 168.72.0.1 ping 168.72.0.2 .. .. ping 168.72.1.0 ping 168.72.1.1 ping 168.72.1.2 .. .. ping 168.72.1.255 .. .. ping 168.72.255.255 Then search findit.log for a successful ping.
uhm there is also the 192. range and i think he has the ip but you have also 65000 whatever ports to look for =)
