Hello everybody
I have just acquired an Asus Motherboard for a pentium III 450 and
128M Ram
At the moment it's only used to test Rogue Squadron but it has a
better future....
Setup says it can boot SCSI or IDE
I have a SCSI hard disk, a SCSI shutlle CD ROM reader which has
already booted free Sco 5.
Also I have Linux and Oracle 8.x CDs sent by Santa Klaus in my
mailbox.
Now guess what?
I would like to install 5 SCSI hard drives to play with various RAID
configuration and create the ultimate SCOTT/TIGER benchmark.
So there are a number or not so frequently asked questions that pop
up.
- Is there a RAID manager for Linux (or is RAID some kind of
proprietary hardware manufacturer teknology)?
- Are there really cheap SCSI 1G hard drives around? (because 5 times
500$ mean a lot just for a benchmarck)?
- Obviously there will be a need to emulate DSS/Batch/Oltp on the SSG
database. Perl-fluent help needed
- Are there motherboards (Asus or else) that will host 2 or 4 pentium
III, just to activate some degree of parallelism
At the end of the day, I want to be extra useful as a DBA for my
customers, and so will you, so we'd better get going!
- Are there Glance-like monitoring tools for Linux, nothing beating
4*100% CPU on the Processor display...
