Andrew et al, thanks for all of the help installing Win 2003 on my Dell PE 2900. OK I think I got a handle on it but I have one question. If I use the two CDs from Dell Plus the Windows 2003 CD I end up with a 10GB C partition. At what point in the installation process can I override the default partition size?

You can skip using this disk if you choose not to install the OpenManage setup files during the install phase. Installing using the Dell stuff now really needs a DVD (even a USB DVD is better than using the CDs). 5.3 was the last version to have a CD release, 5.5 is the most recent release of the tool for the older servers (Poweredge 2650, 1750 etc), and there is now 6.1 for the newer gen servers.

Help needed, was: RE: booting from the CD on a Dell PE

Ryan, thanks I got it booted by changing the boot order to boot from the CD first. I booted into the Dell 2900 System build utility and had a sighted friend run through the setup screens to do an OS install. After putting in the Windows product key the build utility says prepareing to install with a progress indicator that gets up to 51 percent and then asks for the following CD: dell open server 5.3 I looked at the driver section for Power Edge 2900 on the http://support.dell.com site and could not find that CD image. Can anyone point me to the exact location and name of the CD image I need to finish the installation?

any juniper srx users out there?
by Scott Granados 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hi, so I have a configuration from a Juniper srx210 I'm having issue with. I have the source nat defined, interfaces defined, zone rules defined and can't get traffic to work outbound. My source nat rule-set shows matches (many) so I think that part is working. Anyone familiar with these devices and could review my config and see what I'm missing. I'm pretty new to Junos, especially on firewalls, so could definitely use some pointers. Thanks Scott
