Storage / Re: NAS and OS/2?
« on: February 03, 2015, 01:51:16 pm »
Mark, you have two choices. 
1)  Buy a 2 or 4 bay NAS and disks and you are ready to go.

2)  Build your own which requires getting the hardware and some way of putting it all together plus setting up the software.

Adding to what I said in choice 1. All of the NAS boxes I have seen and used have a web interface that is accessed via a browser - all the win based program does is find the IP of the unit and then access the web interface. The D-Link units we use to supplement our HP storage array have a gigabit network interface and are fully configurable.  They also incorporate an FTP server and other services that we don't use.  Some date from 2006 and have been running 24/7 since then.  The one instance we had when a disk went down it was just a matter of pulling it and pushing in the replacement - the RAID 1 rebuilt itself in the background without any problem.

If this is going to be a replacement fot GCCxxx just how is it going to co-exist with all the other variants or is someone going to re-port all the other programs?

Mark, I can only speak from the experience of using D-Link NAS boxes but we have never found them requiring matched drives or even drives of the same capacity for use in a RAID array (make sure you know just why you want to use a RAID array and what type of array - RAID is not a backup system).

With the D-Link, if you use different size disks and RAID 1 you will get a RAID array the size of the smallest disk and a standard disk for the remainder of the space.

Working on all our systems.  No problems reported by anyone.

Thanks Pete, hopefully I will have time at the weekend - we got a callout and I'm surrounded by cold white stuff at the moment, needed chains on all 4 wheels to get here.

Am I correct in assuming I need the hplip backend because this is an HP printer?

Attached is the error log for those interested in such things.  It was produced when I tried to get it to print a test page.

Mark,

You should remove the associations for 3.2 first and then make them for 4.1.1.

If you have both you will get what you are seeing - the need to select which one you want to use.

1313
Thanks for that Pete.

Now a question.  How do you correct the "Internal Server Error"?  I am getting it just about every other mouse click.

Cups on OS/2 still doesn't want to talk to my HP color laserjet 3500 attached to the print server of my DNS-323 NAS yet using a live linux DVD does it without problems - go figure.

Mark,  If you are prepared to get at the guts of the matter you could use association editor (assoed212.zip on hobbes) and change the associations from 3.2 to 4.1.1.  Just be very careful how you use it and double check before making changes.

I don't know why the script didn't work for you, it did on our test machine.

Neil, regarding SNAP, the question is will Mensys allow the source out of their hands so that an independent developer can try to update it - I get the impression no.

Mark, you could just run the associations.cmd that is in the AOO 411GA root directory.

One problem with a simple text editor - they can't use writer2rpub to create the basic e-pub we use when we create manuals for clients.

Dave, I know about that cleanup.  In fact I and my programmer protested to them at the time but we were told it was too late when we did so.  If they had then we would have tried to do the port, I was even prepared to employ a part time extra programmer then.  Now things have moved on and my programmer is only part time by her choice and we concentrate much more on hardware for industry.

Hi Leo,  Thanks for that list.

Since all we use AOO for is the word-processor and to occasionally look at a power point that someone sends I don't think we are going to have any problems.

As a side note LibreOffice has reduced the use of java and are even looking at replacing the db with one that doesn't require java.  Strangely AOO has kept all their java components.  Maybe being owned by Oracle has something to do with that.  Not wishing to look a gift horse in the mouth it is a pity that AOO was chosen for porting rather than LibreOffice (which to my mind is the better product that we run in a very striped down Qemu XP VM).

Thanks David.  It does seem to be a rather strange requirement in this version although I suppose it goes back to its roots in StarOffice that was pretending to be a total desktop environment.
