I was asked about configuration. Everything nowadays is a bit foggy but one
of the p720 s I had converted to a split back plane and was running it with
a pair of VIO serves it is also setup for Enterprise VM. It also has fiber
cards to go to a SAN The other was a standalone DR that's the one that's
pretty loaded sadly the disk we're pulled and it had over a terabyte of
hard drives. The last time I looked it would run you less than $500 to fill
both of them with hard drives and carriers
I guess I have to say no software is included.

This time not so 'classic'
My last job was maintaining IBM p7's and eventually p8's.
One thing I started was putting together a home setup. But like all the
other
projects the gear has become redundant to me.
The 'stack' consists of 2 each IBM p720's, a CR6 HMC, and a KVM drawer.
The p720 do NOT have any hard drives or carriers, but both are available
via
Ebay. The carrier was used in more than one model, and in the past I've
bought carriers with small disks for < $20 each, then found larger disks of
various brands.
And the rails are missing from the p720's.
Google "ibm p720"
I can't remember how much RAM, number of CPUs etc but one p720 was
'loaded'.
If interested let me know and
If anyone knows a good AIX list please let me know
I'll try to get a few photo's this weekend.
The 'stack' is located in Portland, Oregon.
NO PACKING OR SHIPPING, must be local pickup.
