I'm looking at those and don't see that listed in the details of it : On Nov 1, 2012, at 11:06 AM, Dan Olson <[email protected]> wrote:
Look at the base product IDs in the config. The TSM server is a 7383ECU The Syslog server is a 7158EBU
The 7383ECU comes with 2x750watt power supplies and a m5110 with 512mb of flash backed cache:) The 7158EBU comes with an m5110 with 512mb of flash backed cache, I included the 1 extra power supply separately.
IBM is sneaky on the smart buy configs, maybe they want everyone to buy stuff they don't need.
We don't need uplifted support on the syslog server, almost all the xseries product line includes 3 years of NBD support.

Also, there was no support contract for the syslog server. Was this intentional? If not, it seems for the syslog server we'd need to add the following:
ServeRAID M5110 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM System x 81Y4481 $219.00 1 $219.00 ServeRAID M5100 Series Zero Cache/RAID 5 Upgrade for IBM System x 81Y4544 $131.00 1 $131.00 ServeRAID M5100 Series 512MB Cache/RAID 5 Upgrade for IBM System x 81Y4484 $175.00 1 $175.00 3 Year Onsite Repair 9x5 4 Hour Response 46Y0374 $300.00 1 $300.00
Which would bring the syslog server configuration to $4,813. The info on the RAID card is http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/technotes/tips0857.pdf. I also don't see the BBU (81Y4508) for the RAID on the GSA configurator.
The backup server also didn't include the power supplies. So the following extra would be needed (along with the missing BBUs for each controller):
ServeRAID M5110 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM System x 81Y4481 $219.00 2 $438.00 ServeRAID M5100 Series Zero Cache/RAID 5 Upgrade for IBM System x 81Y4544 $131.00 1 $131.00 ServeRAID M5100 Series 1GB Flash/RAID 5 Upgrade for IBM System x 81Y4559 $464.00 1 $464.00 ServeRAID M5100 Series 1GB Flash/RAID 5 Upgrade for IBM System x 81Y4559 $464.00 1 $464.00 IBM System x 750W High Efficency Platinum AC Power Supply 94Y5974 $245.00 2 $490.00
Which would bring the configuration to $13,385.00
Or am I missing something.

I think we can stay inside the figures listed and still go with name brand equipment.
If you click on any of the numbers in the actual column you should get the quotes I'm pulling.

Since we've been talking so much about buying hardware for systems recently, I decided to put together a basic plan for server lifecycle management in the future. I've also calculated a reasonable annual budget from my estimates. I've also created an area in sharepoint to store all of this information.
