What I like to do is use the Supermicro A1SRi-2558Fas the storage system for VMs. I am currently looking at FreeNAS or even Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 for that duty. I may well just build the ESXi machine from scratch as my Opteron system is pretty much used for my SharePoint developments. I...

Then I would learn on a 32GB machine. Or maybe just go for this VMUG EvalExperience and really get my feet wet.

Heya all, I have been running VMs under Hyper-V using direct attached storage. The same machine is also running my DC, DNS, and file shares for the family. I have an ATOM which is barely being used and like to get that setup as a NAS if the hardware is good enough to do what I want.The...

Hello all, I am trying to setup my SharePoint development machine so I can develop on Project Server 2010 using the PSI. I am having some problems with the setup and hope someone here has had experienced with this server?

Question I have about the M5, will it go through the two floors. So pointing upwards from the basement, through the first floor and then to the other device in the second floor? If I lose some bandwidth that is okay. I just hope I can retain as much upload speed as I can.

Installation for new cable was not a priority for the other owners, was for me off course. This is in Germany and without the authorization of owners, no company nor myself can install a new line (even going up the wall on the outside). If I do it, then by law the other owners can force me to...

Bandwidth is 100Mbps down and 10Mbps up. I do not know if powerline would work in this case because the basement power is under its own power meter box and the actual floor is on another.

Yea, we the owners, decided by vote that we do not need to do any kind of upgrades to our building for 2015 or 2016. They want to wait until 2017. What I really need is the coax cable to reach my floor and put the whole equipment there. Now though, I am trying my best with what I have now.

Hello all, I have a business cable connection in my basement with 5 IP address. Currently the basement holds the cable modem, Zyxel USG 50, and the servers. I would like to move the servers upstairs, one floor between us, but there is no network cables nor any possibility to add them. My...

Hi all, I have been running a ARC-1680 card for a while now. I decided to move over some Samsung 840 EVO over and notice that the current SATA Mode is at SATA150. Is there a way to set this higher?

I have only worked with SharePoint 2010 and 2013. But I was wondering if after you created the search application if you also have to start or enable the service? If this is not the case, then maybe look at the log files for clues?

My AMD 2 * 4310EE with 128Gb ram, 4 * Samsung 500 EVO in raid 10 for VM's. 4 * WD 2Gb Reds in raid 5. Both raids attached to Areca 1882 RAID Controller. At idle, it runs around 96 watts per hour and this is with 4 VMs running. When the raid 5 is active, it goes up to 135 to 140 watts per...

Wow. Sorry to hear that. But could it have been the ram or power supply? But I think I am going to go the SM route too. I Need the lan ports more than the sata ports.

Thanks for the link. Cannot wait for you to get it all setup. Be cool to see some benches and power consumption results.

I was wondering which ram did you buy?
