Sorry to resurrect this thread. Does anyone have experience running this screen with a Pascal-based GPU and custom resolutions - e.g. letterboxed 21:9 - 5120x2160, 2560x1080 or similar?
I'm very interested in the P2415Q. I've got another Dell 1920x1080 monitor - U2312HM - so nearly the same size.
I'd ideally like to run the P2415Q at 200% scaling and the other at 100% - which you can't do in Windows 8.1 - only set a % for all monitors, or use the auto scaling thing which in...
I'm interested in a 4K monitor for the PPI, and wouldn't want to go above 24" - ideally I'd want around 20" but that isn't very likely to happen. So at the moment the Dell is the only option.
However, still need option to switch to 1920x1080 at times, which seems to be impossible if using...
I've used Starwind dedupe. If you give it RAM and CPU, it performs very well. I'm not sure if the StarWind free edition has been upgraded from 5.7 to 5.8 like the paid for version, but in 5.8 dedupe performance is better than 5.7 and also it's not classed as experimental any more. The only...
I'm inclined to agree, but then I'm also inclined to think that the same penny-pinching drive manufacturers, who will view the whole warranty/RMA thing as just a cost that they would like to get as low as possible, will also consider the saving on electricity etc they can make by not bothering...
Can you give a bit more detail about your current storage. OK, it's Win 2003, software iSCSI (is that the MS target, i.e. an old version of WSS?). What RAID controller? How many drives, RAID level. 8TB - is that used capacity, useable capacity, native capacity?
I run a similar number of VMs...
I've been using a couple of these in production for > 6 months now, and I've had no problems. The expander chip is an LSI and all the Intel RAID controllers that are listed as compatible are actually LSI rebadges. I use them with LSI 9265 series controllers with no issues.
There's a thread...
If you've got 18GB of RAM, and a 600GB database, and many queries have to operate on more than 18GB of data, then no wonder your storage is being hammered...
You don't say what the RDBMS is (SAP can run on Oracle, DB2 and SQL Server, IIRC). If it is SQL Server, there are performance counters...
How much RAM have you got? As you are so read heavy, I would say that the best bang for buck would be to get as much of the database into RAM as possible, so that the load on storage is lower, If you could boost your budget, a 1TB RAM box (about $65K list from Dell for a R910) will perform much...
^ Thanks, Computurd - great find. So, the long anticipated 2208 is nigh...
More details on the LSI site:
LSI 2nd Gen SAS-2 RAID controllers
250,000 IOPS
450,000 IOPS with FastPath (still optional)
No improvements yet to CacheCade (i.e. still up to 512GB of SSD read cache)
New BBU...
Simple answer: yes, it's possible.
You've got lots of options ranging from ghetto to Tier 1 enterprise. The main limitation, assuming your basic needs, is going to be cable lengths - you can have up to 10m runs between your HBAs/RAID cards and your array.
If you want a supported solution...
acesea,
no mounts other than the pci bracket are supplied. However the board is drilled with 3 holes that could be used to mount to standoffs, but you will probably have to modify your case to do so.
Also, I have not tried the expander off the external port of the 92804i4e, but I don't see...
The Intel SAS expander (which is LSI based) works fine with the LSI 92804i4e - you may want to give it a try. It's not as good value for money as the HP card though...
No, unless you are using system RAM as cache, 4GB is more than enough for a software iSCSI target. In fact, I've been running Starwind 4.2 for over a year inside a 1GB virtual machine, on a 6GB hyper-v box, which has at times been running other vm's, including Starwind 5.5 with 2GB while I...
