Maybe you should buy fewer gaming PCs and read a book once in a while.
Proliant gen8's are cheap and pretty versatile. You can't really build one that has a better featureset in that compact package for cheaper....at least, not here in Europe.

Haven't used it. It came today and I'm heading across the country for a wedding.
It's well built actually. Feels pretty premium, feels sturdy. I took a quick look in the chassis. Soldering looks good and cables are managed well.
(I appreciate things like spring loaded, retained thumbs screws.)
I'll boot it next week when I have some drives.

Let's see what HP has had to fix in your server:

Evidently quite a bit.
>>54774478
they're old cobalt raq3 chassis - replaced the lcd display and leds, rigged up an interface so pi can control everything via gpio and tapped the 5v line from the psu for power
original plan was to put a cluster in there, but never panned out
>>54774583
You get support for like a year. If they don't fix the fucking firmware issues by then, then maybe you should go with a vendor that isn't fucking retarded.
>>54774583

Can you make money running a home server lol? Accounting for electricity and everything can you make a profit
I'm trying to diagnose a issue with pfsense. On android phones, apps like youtube, netflix, and clover/chanu take a unusually long time to load the pages for their ui, with netflix taking literally 3-5 minutes to load the ui. Loading/streaming the content is as fast as other devices on the network, and if I browse 4chan/youtube/netflix in a browser on a laptop using the same wifi connection or on the same android device, they're both as fast as wired connections.
Tl;dr ui for apps loads extremely slowly, content for apps loads just fine

HPs are concentrated shit regardless if it comes in a shiny little box. If you're too poor to own a proper server perhaps you should move out of Europe so you can earn a decent wage. I hear there are some openings in Syria, Turkey and Iraq. Perhaps you could go on holiday and see if the area is multicultural enough for you?

Only hp consumer laptops are bad. Everything else is ok.
gen8 is shit. fans are stupidly loud unless you run your stuff on their raid controller. to run your stuff on their raid controller you need to load their binary blob into kernel space, and make sure you update it every kernel update (it isn't an officially supported package). you can't boot off a drive more than a couple of TB either, so you're forced to buy a dedicated hdd for the os as well and you have to connect it using cables for a mini-optical drive via adapters. it's also fairly power hungry for a server.
once you get over these hurdles it's ok. i wish i bought a gen7. it's better and costs less.
>>54783853
>you can't boot off a drive more than a couple of TB either, so you're forced to buy a dedicated hdd for the os
Why aren't you booting of a 128gb SD card? or a flash drive?
How much storage do you guys have?
I have 4 drive bays in my prebuilt thing, and I'm regretting buying 2TB drives.
I only have 6TB of storage, but I wonder if that should mean I need to cut down my shit, or if I need to just get more space.

B. I'm goddamn 35 and just sick of the "ZOMG! Guise! I got ansible on 3 rapsberry pies! It's a supercomputer now!" mentality that plagues this place. The little HP servers are glorified desktops. You can't stick 144 gigs of mem in one. You can't stick 12 drives in one. You can stick two cpus in one. You can't stick dual PSUs in one. It doesn't have a rILO port. I'm pretty sure they won't even do RAID 6 without buying the upgraded 120 controller. WTF does it do that a 5 year old desktop wont?

Okay, lol. If you define server as a 'unit' hardware - I don't need a full-blown rack stuff at home, I've got enough of them at work. But I define 'server' as a hardware which actually can serve PCs in a network, and it doesn't matter if it's a Netgear ARM box or 3U NAS.
OK guys. I have a server with a Fibre Channel HBA and a disk box from an IBM DS8000, which currently has 7 FC-AL HDDs in RAID-Z1. I just came across the opportunity of buying five caddies with SATA/SAS interposers for the disk box, which means I could put modern disks in it. My server already has all of its SATA connectors occupied, and I only have one PCI-e slot free, which I'd like to keep that way until I get a 10GbE card and throw it in there. The caddies are €30, should I?

They aren't.
200 euro for a server with ECC support and vt-d in a small form factor runs for 300 minimum new. The only negative side about this thing is the fact that you have to deal with HP for updates, officially.
Fuck off.

Nobody cares.

MicroServers qualify under HP's enterprise program. The only real failure point is the power supply. These units are designed for small to medium size offices.

Do you have a server with 144GB of RAM? It's not a requirement, especially for someone fucking around with server stuff for the first time.
> You can't stick 12 drives in one.
You can't stick 12 drives in most 2U's, either. And most stuff is just compute anymore anyway, with storage being SAN or DAS.

I'd take a single Xeon 1240v2 over a pair of 5450's...

Not racked, so multiple power sources don't apply. Get a UPS.

A real ILO port? Yes,it does. ILO4. Dedicated interface.
> I'm pretty sure they won't even do RAID 6
RAID isn't used much beyond a RAID 1 for OS drives. Most everything these days is pooled. Also, RAID 6 is a license feature for most first party vendors. And you're thinking P421, btw.
> WTF does it do that a 5 year old desktop wont?
Aside from trigger you? Sit in the corner, be small, be silent, be under a support agreement, and stack quite nicely with the switches HP has released to go with these.

On the website, yes. ftp.hp.com (or is it ftp.hpe.com now? I can't rememeber). You're welcome.

>tfw you will never get the chance to own a Dell VRTX
Guys, I'm trying to create a new ISO storage repository on xenserver, using xencenter, without luck (pic related).
All the guides basically say the same thing: ssh into the server, create a directory, insert the repo creation command (which is basically using pic related), where you specify the name and location. But this error keeps popping up, no matter in which directory I am.
All I want is something to put the VM's installation media in, since I don't have a CD drive.

Yeah, they are. $400 buys you dual xeons, 24gigs of mem and 12 drive bays in freedom land.
Don't get angsty because you live in the wrong place.

>cable management = godlike
good job anon
Seriously not a shill I promise, but I just acquired a bunch of retired HP SAS 15k drives from work (where I can also get SPP) and I'm thinking of buying a DL380 G7 for virtualization. Anybody got a good US eBay seller? I saw one who offered a 6 month warranty which seems nice.
I just want a box where I can keep adding drives and the storage becomes bigger.
It has a simple indicator of which HDD i need to replace.
That's all I want guys, it will function as a plex storage server.
What should I get?
>>54789075
I always wanted to know. Did you steal most of this shit from work or something? If not, how much money do you have in it? How much is your electric bill each months?
>>54774910
>If you're too poor to own a proper server perhaps you should move out of Europe so you can earn a decent wage
Hey man, relax. I'm using the proliant gen8 as a cheap NAS box + ownclowd and maybe some low traffic web hosting.
I mean, the other options are:
build one:
>more expensive
>more effort for something I already know how to do
>overall, probably poorer build quality
Buy NAS
>synology and similar have small capacities or are far too expensive
170 for a hp box with power, board, fans and a case + some ram is bretty good imo.
and it's cute as f

Where did you buy it from where you only paid $170?

>>54792116
>He fell for the using his brain meme
New to ZFS here.
Let's say my current setup is 3 mirrors, each of 2 1TB drives. So a total capacity of 3TB.
Then, I grab a pair of 2TB drives. Total capacity 5TB.
But then, I want to retire one of the 1TB mirrors. Can I remove those from the array, or am I stuck with them forever?

To an SSD that will forget.

>>54792363

NOTHING AT ALL.
On a server that you have to remove hardware crazy fast 24/7 yes it's important.
