Default for Guardian is 10.10.10.10

EDIT: What was Adaptec solution for your problem?

the Snap units revert to DHCP by default i think.

I just bought a 4500, This is going to be a joint project between David and myself. Although he's the one with all the resources.

Not if you do a full reset. They come up with no IP address and you have to use assist to find it and do the initial setup.

Good luck with the 4500 project! I didn't see the auction...what did you end up paying for it? (no drives, I assume)...

That not all true for the Guardian OS units. They default to 10.10.10.10 if it does not see a dhcp server. Not the 0.0.0.0 like the SnapOS.

You will be in unchartered waters. The 4500 can come with 4 x 400gig. These Guardian units have just started coming through here for the last couple of months. Since SnapAppliance new the SnapOS units were being hacked. They may have put limits in the OS, to stop this activity.

So any info you can pass on to us here will be greatly appriciated.

What kind of noise does the 4500 unit generate, with the P4 and 4 HD. 35+ dba

Default Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks

hmmm.... maybee I will buy 4 400GB drives and upgrade my 4500 to 1.6TB then use the 4 250's in the 4500 currently to upgrade my 4000 to 1TB. I am guess that if I delete any RAID config on the 4500 making them all standalone 250GB drives I could swap them out for 400's one at a time untill i get all four in it.

I cant gauge the noise because it is still in my Data Center running as I have een too lazy to derack it yet.

I watched two 4100's with 240GB in them and looked to be in great shape and from a seller with 100% rating for less than $100 each today... I was tempted, but my meger $ are dedicated to another venture. Right Shane?

Well I have done some research and the maximum Guardian OS limit is "Maximum file system/file size is: 10M/TB, 9M/TB respectively" so i think I am gonna try a 4x750GB build and see how it goes.

I currently have 2 750GB drives now I need one more to try a Raid 5 out.

At least some one has deep pockets.

That will be a interesting test on size drives that can be installed. But actual space with 3 750 is less than 4 at 400 gig. It's the 4th one that will be interesting.

Remember : RAID 5 capacity is sum -1 drive. So you will need a 4th drive.
