An anonymous reader writes 'Ars Technica's Peter Bright reports on a Netware 3.12 server that has been. The plug was pulled when noise from the server's hard drives become intolerable. From the article: 'It's September 23, 1996. It's a Monday.

The Macarena is pumping out of the office radio, mid-way through its 14 week run at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, doing little to improve the usual Monday gloom.Sixteen and a half years later, INTEL's hard disks—a pair of full height 5.25 inch 800 MB Quantum SCSI devices—are making some disconcerting noises from their bearings, and you're tired of the complaints.

That and not having to gen sys from 360K floppies. On netmare 2 the first thing you did when you got your first one up was put a copy of the install images on the share. Linking up (IIRC they called it genning sys) a copy of the server required you to feed it each of about 20 floppies three times each in apparently random order.

Get one interrupt wrong and you get to start over (better to reset the interrupt jumpers to match the config you had). I should not remember any of this crap.

I doubt the drives were exactly 'up'. Spinning, yes. I had a legacy Netware 3.11 server once upon a time. It was up for years and years, and by the time I got to the company it was like a legend. Eventually though there was a power outtage that outstripped the UPS system and required a re-start. It wouldn't load. We sent the hard drives out to be recovered and they didn't actually exist anymore - the surface had been work away years before, and the server had been running purely in RAM.

Totally not worth it since you can use other 3/16 diameter rivets. Install the final 2 rivets. Install license plate under the 2 upper tabs and drive the supplied 2 lower screws to the bracket.

Netware was awesome. I doubt the drives were exactly 'up'. Spinning, yes.

We sent the hard drives out to be recovered and they didn't actually exist anymore - the surface had been work away years before, and the server had been running purely in RAM. Netware was awesome. In 1995, my then employer had been running netware for quite few months on DX2 66Mhz for some time.

It was running in 1999 when I left. 16 years and they did not run of space on it? Also good hardware not to fail in some way other that time. Did they hot swap UPS batteries over the years as well?

The batteries, obviously, needn't affect the operation of the server, but that's some impressive record for the utility service in the area. Unless the location had a backup generator, no outages longer than UPS run-time over a sixten year stretch is incredible.

As for the disk space issue, I strongly suspect that the server was the platform for some specific legacy application that 'just worked, and was thus never messed with, while all the actual file and print service duties were shifted to newer platfor. In the part of the U.S. Where I used to live, power is provided, almost exclusively, by public utility districts. These are governmental organizations that are beholden only to their rate payers. In the almost 40 years I lived there, I could count on one hand the number of outages that would have run-out a typical server-class UPS.

Such a record is virtually non-existent where I live now. The grid, and the companies that do business on it, are private, for-enterprises, beholden only to their stock-holders. If all it was doing was serving print jobs, and it had enough RAM on it, the netware server should never have needed to access the drive after being booted. Netware 5 products had some silly issues where if the SYS volume became full, the server would panic and halt, but NW3 didnt have such an issue. When I was forced to take that NW5 class so many years ago, I spent ample amounts of time poking holes in the NW server's supposed security. Oh, the joys of getting the server to create printer spool objects on. Oddly, I replaced my main home server with a highly energy efficient model four years ago (mac mini).
