I'm trying to get some idea of service life of HP's PA-RISC servers.
We've an old K210 which needs replacing and was wondering how long these were built to last.
The seagate discs have a service life of 5 years, but what about CPUs, main board, SCSI interfaces and the like.
I think is like a "how long is piece of string?" question, or "my spade has lasted 20 years, 5 new handles and 3 new blades", but any input would be welcome.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Service Life of HP Servers
What good does it do to post the exact same doc that Robert-Jan already posted? I could have done that, too, only moments after he posted, but I have some pride.

Re: Service Life of HP Servers
I should have kept my mouth shut, but this happens all too frequently, adds no value to the forum, and, frankly, is annoying beyond belief.

Re: Service Life of HP Servers
That said, there are other costs:
- software support: 11.11 ver 1 will run on the K-class boxes but I would not expect the next version to run on the K-class servers.
- performance versus kilowatts: The K210 is a 32bit machine, 120Mhz and can hold only 2Gb of RAM, but draws 800 to 1600 watts of power. That means a lot of heat to remove too, so power costs are a big concern.
- performance versus floor space: The K210 takes about half of a typical rack, a lot of rack space for 120 Mhz of performance.
With today's 1U and 2U servers at 500 to 900 Mhz, you can replace a half dozen K210's with a single rp-2405. Huge drops in power requirements and floor space, and much faster performance are the results.
So the simple answer is: check back here in about a dozen years - your K210 will probably still be useable.
