Specification

  • Dell PowerEdge 1800
  • Dual 2.8GHz 2MB L2 cache 64bit Xeon processors with HyperThreading support
  • 4GB RAM
  • 2x160GB and 4x250GB on the onboard SATA controllers and a PERC 6 channel SATA controller respectively
  • Onboard 1GBit network card and additional 100Mbit network card
  • Dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies.

Disks, RAID and LVM

The two 160GB drives are on top. Each is partitioned as follows:

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19452 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *           1        2432    19535008+  fd  Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sdb2            2433       19452   136713150   fd  Linux raid autodetect

sdb1 and sdc1 are in a software raid1 partitioned with ext3 and contain slash. sdb2 and sdc2 are in another software raid1 on top of which there is LVM. The volume group is called raid1 and contains logical volumes for /tmp(5GB), /var(5GB) and swap(8GB). var and tmp are ext3.

The four 250GB drives are on the bottom. These are combined in hardware into a RAID5 device (sda). The entirity of this device is in LVM in a volume group called raid5. The main logical volume is /home which is partitioned with ext3.

Network

Spoon has 2 network cards. The primary gigabit card is eth0, which we use to connect to TCD. The second card is eth1, which we don't currently use.

Remote Management

Using IPMI there is some amount of monitoring possible for Spoon.
