What to do with spare O350's?

What to do with spare O350's?
Hi,



Firstly, I must acknowledge the assistance from Jwhat (John Hartley) in Melbourne for his help on this project else it never would have gotten off the ground. John provided the Numalink3 router, the memory, fans and brackets and considerable assistance to get this system operational which I am very thankful for.



I have been working away for many months trying to get a number of spare O350 systems into a working configuration rather than just gathering dust in a corner. The opportunity arose when myself and my brother were lucky enough to pick up a rack full of Prism servers which happened to have two Numalink4 routers with it.



I thought that I could use one of these to connect the six spare O350's together to make a single operable system. Despite considerable tinkering , I could not get the router to recognise the O350 systems despite believing they were backward compatible with Numalink3 system. After getting assistance from John, he offered to loan me his spare Numalink3 router and shipped it down to me.



After an L2 controller software upgrade and six O350 firmware upgrades we were finally away!

So here are six spare O350's now connected using a Numalink router (yes its a bit beat up as the freight company shipping it were brutal).

For graphics I used a spare IR4 which was already in the base of the rack and simply connected it to the XIO port on the base O350.

As this was a new system, I took the opportunity to start with a fresh install so I added a Samsung 850Pro SSD into an ACARD ARS-2320S SCSI to SATA converter and used this as the boot drive. It is running a 6.5.30 install and boots remarkably fast!

Here's the (rather long) hinv -v -m output showing the configuration.

Unfortunately it' not all quite right as yet as there are missing fans on the C34 and C7 router which have to be replaced. Also, several memory sticks seemed to have died which need replacing. I'll get these sorted as soon as practical.



Here's a photo of the complete system.

Lastly, even though its not been setup for any particular task, I was looking around for an application to test its capabilities. I loaded MultiGen2 flight simulator which runs quickly although I'm yet to learn how to use it! I also don't have a licence so I can't save anything:(

Anyway, sorry bout the low-res pictures but I hope this is of some interest so someone.

Cheers!

F**king amazing! Rock on you absolute legend. I can't imagine the noise...well I can...but you know I guess you have to be there.

RE: What to do with spare O350's?
Hi defaultrouteuk,
Thanks for the positive comments!
Actually the noise isn't too bad compared to other gear I've had running in the past. Mostly its a heat issue. I only have a small room available to put these systems into so it heats up very quickly - despite the window open and a fan pulling in outside air!
I hope eventually to have a larger space available to house the system and the adjacent rack with the Tezro in it that I can run for longer periods of time. Although I think I'll need to double the number of solar panels on the roof to pay the power bill.
You must need to run aircon 24x7 being in Dubai?
Thanks for your interest.
Cheers

RE: What to do with spare O350's?
Hi SGI Enthusiast,

thanks for chance to help you get this beast up and running.

The tag line "What do you do with spare O350's?" is a nice understatement and good to see the the response is not: "dump them on ebay or use them as door stops or worse yet scrap 'em"

Your setup represents the end of the road for SGI MIPS graphics super computers !!

Please do post gfxinfo so we can see the details on IR graphics.

I will post my version of similar config once I get IR going.

Happy SGI'ing !

Cheers from fellow Aussie in Oz,

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply and of course, your help in getting this working!

RE: What to do with spare O350's?
Well done sig-enthusiast, a commendable job. This must be currently one of the largest sgi systems still running in the hobbyist community. Its good to see there is still interest in the sgi "big iron".
Looking forward to future posts regarding your system!
Cheers

RE: What to do with spare O350's?
Hi sgi-enthusiast,

interesting that hinv reports the IR: ktown2 and GE board but not the RM or Display boards.

 I see from the gfxinfo that it reports on all the IR board:
  • GE - geometry
  • KT - ktown
  • RM0/RM1 - Raster ??
  • TM0/TM1 - Texture ??
  • DG - Display with TVO
Cheers from Oz,

I loaded MultiGen2 flight simulator which runs quickly although I'm yet to learn how to use it! I also don't have a licence so I can't save anything:(

Where did you get multigen2 Flight sim? Can you share it? 

Also thats one hell of a system. I just got myself a G-brick with an ir4 and ir3 and I got 2 ip59 bricks. Sadly I can't power the G-brick just yet!
