To do this we need to update the server with hardware raid and add an extra disk. We are currently today using an IBM 9.1GB Ultra Wide disk as system disk and one IBM 36GB Ultra Wide disk for user data. We have two extra spare IBM 9.1GB drives where one of them now has replaced the corrupt 36GB disk and we will use the last spare IBM 9.1GB to set up RAID1 for the system disk. We would like to do this as well with the existing IBM 37GB disk. What we need then is an extra 36GB disk and as well a proper raid card.
To accomplish above we call for help from the eCS & OS2 community to help out to improve the availability of OS2 World by asking for donation to be able to finance the hardware upgrade of the server. Extra funding will be used to finance as well an UPS to the server.
Following items are what we need:
1 Adaptec SCSI Raid 2100S Ultra160 32MB 1-Channel
1 Hitachi Ultrastar 146Z10 36GB Ultra320 Wide 68-pin
and as mentioned, we would like to go for an UPS as well:
1 APC BACK-UPS RS 500VA
The first two items, hard disk and raid card, will cost around $700 here in Sweden and an UPS cost around $200.
If there are companies or individuals that would like to sponsor any of above items or similar items, please then don't hesitate to contact me or any of the regional contacts. To participate in this donation project and to see who has earlier made donations, please click here.
We will also set up a diagram to show how this donation project is going.
Thanks in Advance!
