Joe,

Thanks for catching my error. SQL 2005 will run on 32bit.

Do you mean Exchange 2007 or possibly SQL 2008?

I'm running SQL 2005 on 32bit.

We also use Server 2003 Std. R2 64bit. This version does not have the 4 GB memory limit (we have 16GB). Also, if you ever want to go SQL 2005, it will only run on 64bit.

We use Windows 2003 Stn R2 64bit. Epicor recommended 64-bit to us.
So far it is working fine.

Currently looking for a Network Attached Storage device. Was wondering if
anyone had any suggestion for either ones to look at or ones to stay always
from.

Requirements

Low Price.. Maybe around $1,500

Gigabit network connection

At least 180GB

Reliable, 20ish user accessing files on and off

RAID configuration would be nice...

Rack mounted would also be nice.

Thanks,

Norman,

$1500 is a bit low for what you are asking. But if you need to hit that
price and still support twenty users, then you might want to try the
"roll-your-own" approach. Find a decent rack chassis & mobo, SATA
drives, and an Adaptec SATA RAID controller. Give the unit at least 1GB
of RAM. Then download and install OpenFiler (http://www.openfiler.com/)
as the NAS operating system.

Anything you might find packaged at $1500 is probably going to choke on
twenty users. But if you want to go that route, Buffalo is probably the
best performance you're going to get. For perspective, we built a 3TB
SATA RAID server using a SuperMicro chassis and mobo, Seagate drives and
the Adaptec controller for $3500. Performance is far better than
anything else I could have purchased pre-built.

We are purchasing a new server specifically for Vantage 8.03.400. The
question I have is do I purchase Windows 2003 Standard Edition (which I
understand supports 4 Processors and 4GB of RAM) or do I purchase Windows
2003 Enterprise Edition. (again, which I understand can support up to 8
processors and 64GB of RAM)

IÂ¹d really appreciate any feedback as to which option I should choose. I
would prefer Enterprise given that it appears to have more room for
expandability, only if Vantage works on this OS of course.

We are going with Enterprise Edition. After using the configuration chart that is on Epicor's support site we determined we will need 6GB of RAM, so Standard will not do it. This really stinks, because the cost for Enterprise is much more than standard edition. Also, determined that you have to use the 32bit version because Epicor can't handle the 64bit OS.

Paul, I am on the Epicor Web site trying to find a document that will allow
me to determine. I search configuration chart and get a lot of GL
Information (Charts). I see some technical reference to sizing vantage and
your network, but it relates to old versions on an NT platform. Where did
you find the document on the support site?

Paul,

According to the hardware sizing guide, 8.03.400 is supported on the 64-bit O/S.

What do you mean that Epicor can't handle it?

When I received the 8.03.403 DVD, I tried a test install on W2K3 64
bit. Did the install, converted thr DB and then discovered the
progress appservers would not start - got some sort of error message
in the broker logs about could not access memory error in a .p file -

I ended up wiping the drives and reinstalling on 32 bit windows

Are you saying Windows only shows 2GB of RAM, even though BIOS shows more? Perhaps you need to add the '/PAE" option to the BOOT.INI file on the server, per this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833721

When I rebuilt a server with 4GB of RAM, Windows only reported 2, but when I added that parameter, it showed the right amount.

Also - as far as I remember, Microsoft doesn't care whether you run 32-bit or 64-bit, so you could run 32-bit for now and then rebuild with 64-bit without requiring a different license-code. In other words, your license for Windows 2003 Server R2 is valid for either platform. I imagine that the Advanced Server licensing would be similar.

Windows show all of the ram in the system, but if you set the Â–B over
200,000+ I was unable to log into the admin tools screen. Then when the Â–B

Subject: [Vantage] Vantage 8.03.400 Operating System

We are purchasing a new server specifically for Vantage 8.03.400. The
question I have is do I purchase Windows 2003 Standard Edition (which I
understand supports 4 Processors and 4GB of RAM) or do I purchase Windows
2003 Enterprise Edition. (again, which I understand can support up to 8
processors and 64GB of RAM)

IÂ¹d really appreciate any feedback as to which option I should choose. I
would prefer Enterprise given that it appears to have more room for
expandability, only if Vantage works on this OS of course.

We are running a Progress Database.

Thanks for your feedback

Bob It took me a while to find that document again. It's call "Epicor Manufacturing Hardware Sizing and Configuration Guide" If you log into the Epicor support site and search for "hardware sizing guide vantage 8" it will be about Â¾ of the way down the page.

Here is the link to the PDF. The graph I used is on about page 14.

https://epicweb.epicor.com/resources/MRCCustomers/Epicor%20Manufacturing%20Hardware%20Sizing%20and%20Configuration%20Guidev8%2003%20400.pdf

Hope this helps

Paul L.

Paul, I am on the Epicor Web site trying to find a document that will allow
me to determine. I search configuration chart and get a lot of GL
Information (Charts). I see some technical reference to sizing vantage and
your network, but it relates to old versions on an NT platform. Where did
you find the document on the support site?

My sizing guide says right across the top.

"All operating systems must be 32 bit with the exception of Unix which can be 32 or 64 bit"

Since I went away from Unix in 1996 I'm basically stuck with Windoz Server.

Paul,

According to the hardware sizing guide, 8.03.400 is supported on the 64-bit O/S.

What do you mean that Epicor can't handle it?

We are going with Enterprise Edition. After using the configuration chart that is on Epicor's support site we determined we will need 6GB of RAM, so Standard will not do it. This really stinks, because the cost for Enterprise is much more than standard edition. Also, determined that you have to use the 32bit version because Epicor can't handle the 64bit OS.

As of last week the web site had not been updated with the current specÂ’s.
You will need to call tech. to get the updated specification dated 08/27/07
for 8.03.400 the does list 32 and 64 bit windows.

We use Windows 2003 Stn R2 64bit. Epicor recommended 64-bit to us.
So far it is working fine.

That's good news. I was just going by a document I found on their web site. Maybe they should be more diligent in cleaning up old/bogus information.
