Subject: Re: Re : Xserve boot issue - lock related
that is strange. i was a bit frustrated to say the least when i was
first 'locked out' by the front locking mechanism, but now i'm more
thankful for it. it would be nice to have the option to set what it
locks exactly as having it be strictly for hardware (drive removal and
enclosure removal) would be cool. currently i have to leave it unlocked
so i can use my kvm on the systems.
That sure would be nice. I have one client way out in the sticks
with an XServe G4 dual 1.33 that has a stack of FW800 drives (and
one FW400) plugged into the back for backups. OSXS 10.3.9. They
don't mounht at boot when its locked.
I leave it locked because the pain of talking somebody through the
unlock-lock knob twiddle is way less painful than the result of a
bunped drive module. I tell 'em to keep away from that corner, but
it happened once. Fortunately at the time that drive was mirrored,
but it isn't any more.
A door on the rack solves these problems. A locking door solves the remainder.
