That's the start, but the replacement was supposed to be 'fixed'. But I
don't understand it shutting down instead of issueing a warning when
only one of the three PS fans dies. And all this happens almost to the
day from manufacture. I had one in a colo situation where they had
three... all made within a few months of one another and all had the
same failures within those same months of one another.
Then next comes the processor fan........ then the power supply.....
then ..... I just think they tried to make it too small (1u) personally.
All in a nice clean room with good heating/cooling. The 380s seem to be
light years ahead in superiority. I would hope the new 360s are better,
but somehow I have my doubts. I'm hearing some grumblings about various
blade servers being short lived as well. (and I don't mean 1u servers,
even though compaq/hp like to call the 360s blades). I just feel like
there are limits to what can be done in a given space... although on
many things that space keeps getting smaller.
Gimme' a new version of the Proliant 7000!!! LOL!!! ;)
