You can use it on the external port, but the 221 is a single channel controller. This means you can't use both the inside and outside at the same time. Look at getting a 3200 so you can use both channels and will not have to lose any date during the upgrade.

The MSA1k does not support Active/Active controllers at this time. If you're talking A/A from the OS perspective, this would work without any issue.

Not correct - jeffpenn is correct except he failed to mention that you need to go back into ACU and create new logical drive from the new free space. You can then see it in the OS. This will not give you a larger C: drive without 3rd party spanning tools.

What are 3110 and 3120 Proliants? These are not common model numbers. Are they Proliant 3000's?

You can span as many disks are you can fit on one card. You just can't span cards.

Forget the legacy VCDB - start looking at the new Version Control Agent and Version Control Repository Manager

Where are you seeing the degraded condition? Is this reported in Insight Manager 7 or is this on the local agent's 2301 port?

Try making a connection to the remote servers IPC share first. From the cmd prompt, enter net use \\servername\ipc$ /u:Administrator * It will ask you for the admin password for the remote machine.

You may need to turn off Discovery Filters. By default we only look for Proliants. If you turn it off, we will find everything on the network. Dell runs DMI, which is a Desktop protocol on their servers, so importing MIBS only helps on some of their equipment, but you may want to check into...

Import the MIBs from IBM for their servers. These are available from IBM.

Check to see that the DCE side of your connection has a "clock rate" command int the Serial interface section of the config. YOu can tell which end is DCE by running "Show controllers".

Adding the floating secondary static route is my intention down the line, but adding it now only sets me up for failure later. You see, if I have 2 default static routes and they have the same AD (1 by default) then the router automatically starts load balancing packets. When I do this, I get...

YOu need to get the mibs for each device form the manufacturer and add them to the IM7 console via the Tools otpion.

You need a 3rd party tool and you have to add it to the NT scheduler. YOu can find snmp tools at http://www.simplesoft-inc-snmp-network-testing.com/ and many other places on the web.

I understand that a Gartner Group study showed that a company considering a switch in server manufacturer platforms would need to realize a 28% decrease in total cost if they are activley using IM7 today.
