Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Default for Guardian is 10.10.10.10

EDIT: What was Adaptec solution for your problem?

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

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.

Well, now I know who outbid me at least...

Hah

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

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)...

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Maybe you and I need to go in on one now...you supply the brains and the money, I will supply the...uhhhh...I'll think of something....

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

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.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Now I have to come up with the 4 drives. I have 2 120's I will use to play with. With Fry's selling the 400 gigs for $109 it want be to bad. Still $200 cheaper than Adaptec price for 1 w/sled $629.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

I was referring to the snap units, not the guardian OS units.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

$629? Good LORD that's salty.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Na, this auction ended with no bids, And i contacted the seller directly.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Musta missed that one...

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

This will make you sick. $225 shipped. And it has a 10-bay expansion with it. With all cables and software. :)

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Hehe I can beat that price mine was free, we are decomming ours at work and they were gonna trash untill I said I wanted it. It currently has 4x250's but I wanna push it up to the highest it can go.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Many people have obtained them like that

From colleges or places of work

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Yup and its great!

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Thats actually how the person i got mine from got theirs. Was gonna get tossed. If i worked for a company that did that id have to have my own 19" rack setup for all my hardware.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

BLAAAAAHHHHHHH! :cry:

Glad you got a deal on it! I can't complain, I got my 4100 for $112...

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Longshot,
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

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.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

longshot,

You can deffinately put 400's in it. I tried that out with my 4200 and it was no problem.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Not me, I was furious with envy... :mad: j/k :D

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? ;)

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

Indeed, As might some of mine depending on how the wheels of fate turn. I hope i end up with one of them :p

Shane

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

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.

Re: Help to recover a 4500 with blank disks
 

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.
