Bruce, I've had a motherboard on a server die. To get back up and operating,
I simply moved one SCSI card and primary SCSI drive from the server to a
workstation PC that had enough resources (enough to get by for a few hours
or days) to act as a temporary server, disconnected the IDE drive on the
work station, changed IP address, etc., and was back up and running Vantage
in about an hour. Only problem was hoping nothing happened to that SCSI
drive in the meantime as there was no mirrored drive, no tape backup, etc as
there was on the server. I did many backups during the time the temp server
was operating, and burned CD's with the backups just in case.

Subject: [Vantage] [OT] SCSI disk recovery
I dodged a bullet yesterday. Our CPU heatsink from our server had a
plastic clip which broke and caused it to fall off. The BIOS caught it
with the temperature setting threshold. However, I thought, what would
happen (Disaster Recovery Afterthought) if my mainboard died. How would
I get the data off my SCSI disks, given, it is attached to an onboard
RAID controller? I am going to check in with Adaptec on this, but
thought I would shoot it out to the group.
Thank you,
