I finally managed to install an OS on this one. It now has with SLES 9 SP2 + SGI ProPack 4,
but I will probably try debian 6 later.
It should be 64 cpus and 512GB of memory, but I'm having problems with one CR brick (the top one)
During startup the machine finds some more memory (not all), but Linux finds 32GB less.
The number of cpus found at startup and Linux are the same.
The plan is as usuall to try reseating stuff, go into 'pod' and clear logs etc. I hope the bricks id's won't get screwed up.
I don't know if there are some more commands that extracts interesting information, except 'hwinfo'
The 'hinv' is really long, so here is the short 'hinv'.
And now some Pictures
There is also an L3 controller on top and an FC cabinet with disks. Now I have to learn abount FC disks too
but I will probably try debian 6 later.
