[Klug-general] What you dont do is...

[Kevin Groves]

RAID is run to play with. Yank a drive out and put another in but in 
this case I (or someone else) hasdnt screwed in the external tape drive 
cables and when I moved the box the cable came out taking the SCSI chain 
with it.

All OK now but I've learnt a bit more about RAID today.

Next problem is installing Novell 6.5 on a new IBM xSeries. I used to 
like these machines but the last two we've bought have a very strange 
BIOS which stops you from doing anything useful with IRQs. The machine 
assigns most devices to the same IRQ and it supposedly sorts things out 
but if you put any cards in such as SCSI or dense modem the machines 
play up big time and we all think it's due to IRQ conflicts.

I'm *really* not happy with these new machines.
