I work for a small company with me as a makeshift computer administrator.
Our company currently has two offices with their own file servers. I have
an offsite backup server that currently backs up both file servers remotely
(via rsync), everything is running OpenBSD 3.7.
We are upgrading the backup server to a Dell Powervault 220, leaving room
for expandability. I see from the archieves that this is the same model
used by the OpenBSD team for their CVS. I am planning to use this server
with a mirrored raid 5 configuration.
I was hoping someone here could answer a few questions.
Can I install OpenBSD on this PV 220, or is it just a bunch of disks with no
processor?
If so, does that mean I need another computer to install OpenBSD on, that
will use the PV 220 as it's storage? Can this be any computer (what
requirements, any recommended brands), or does it have to be this Dell
PowerVault 745N (which seems to come pre-install with some Windows Storage
Server OS)?
I know this isn't the most on topic posting to this list, but it is the only
list I am a part of, and I trust the opinions on this list.
Thanks for any help!
