Nothing special but the x86 Solaris box was not all that exciting, so ...

The only thing that's at all special is that I did a little butchery, used a scsi disk for boot and stuck a 500 gig sata disk in slot two for storage. That worked out nicely.

Nice - how about a photo or two of the mod when you get the chance?

Can't see much through the baling wire right now ... plan is to replace the fans with quieter ones some time in 2012 and clean up the mess at that time.

It's hard to do anything nice without a Bridgeport and a surface grinder, isn't it ? I admire people who have the patience to sit there with a file for three days.

Did you use a 2.5" inch SATA drive? Looks like there's room for a SATA data/power cables to go under the SCA backplane <or through a hole filed/milled in the metal enclosure

Those without an O300 can see the area we're discussing in this photo shamelessly borrowed from neko's hardware gallery . The hard drives are located in metal enclosure in the upper right corner, the LSI SAS/SATA host bus adapter would go into one of the PCI slots in the lower left corner:

Slid the SCA backplane entirely out, dropped in the original boot disk from the Fuel. The scsi cable which used to connect to that backplane now connects directly to the boot disk. Added a two-to-one power splitter to a SATA disk in the other slot with a longish sata cord and away we go. I lost the hard drive activity lights doing it this way but those are mostly decorative anyhow. It would be possible to connect them elsewhere, I'm sure, but too much trouble for something that's going to be in a closed rack anyhow.

One thing I do notice is that MPlayer running remotely crashes. It starts up fine on the Origin, displaying on the Fuel, but as soon as it starts to play it locks up hard. Playing the same file over the network from MPlayer on the Fuel works fine. Anyone else with a similar setup care to test that ?

Should put a gigE card in also I suppose but so far the normal 10/100 connection is good enough.

Origin 300's are getting to be cheap. So far I like it.

uhm, iirc it all takes a

Code:

jot /etc/sys_id

and "little richard" or "shakedown" (until you silence this rock n roller)

a propos, the sata hack that you guys came up with is wunderful, my next sgi gots to have one :)
