Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 -->> RaQ4 with OS..?



Hey Group,

Can't an RaQ3 be retstored with the RaQ4 OS restore CD
to bring it slightly up-to-date (obviously not talking
about hardware)? I asked my NOC today to pull one of
my RaQ3's and restore it with the RaQ4 restore CD, but
they claim it can't be done.

If so, why was rackshack able to take RaQ3's and load
it with the RaQ4 OS and sell them as RaQ4's? I also
thought the RaQ3 refub machines sold at

Yes they can. I have several RaQ3's operating as software RaQ4's.
This has been well documented both here and on webhostingtalk.com - do a search.

I may be wrong but I don't think RackShack ever sold them as RaQ4's. Sun Cobalt will turn a blind eye to customers restoring RaQ3's with the RaQ4 OS, but will come down HARD on you if you attempt to market it as a RaQ4. The server model is dictated by the hardware, not the software.
