Hardware/Server Information

You can find LOCKSS's current server specifications in the LOCKSS install document located here.

Basically, you have two options for setting up a LOCKSS server for ADPNet:

  • A motherboard with a SATA disk controller (ideally with support for 6 SATA devices)
  • Must support the CentOS v5.4 Linux operating system
  • A chassis capable of holding at least 4 2-terabyte hard drives


Option 2: Roll Your Own Server

Recently, Auburn University built its own LOCKSS server as a replacement for an older box that had some hardware failures.

Below is the parts list for Auburn's roll-your-own-server build. Prices are current as of 8/1/11 and are given as a general reference point only; of course they can be expected to change over time and across vendors.
