How big? How heavy? What power requirements? And
especially what's
the latest version of AIX available for it? (The dead UPS I'm not
worried about -- I've never seen an AIX journaled filesystem damaged
by a power failure even when I was trying to do so stress testing).
They are in those IBM racks (the kind that Mr. Fandt wants) - about five
feet tall, a little over 2 feet wide (a curse to anyone that wants to use
the thing in a computer room with a raised floor!), and about three feet
deep. I think they weigh about 700 pounds.
I might (ugh!) have to strip out AIX (3.2 something, I think), as there is
a lot of custom networking add-ons that can not be released.
