post your Server Screenshots

What VMs do you run on those ESX servers?

Mainly Win2k3 & Fedora, but I have a few VM's that are Win2k and NT4 for some older game servers/legacy apps.

I've migrated most of my newer game servers to Fedora/Ubuntu. But for games like AvP2/Tribes/Q2/etc I stuck with Win2k.
 
I may not have the fastest server, but I think I am the first person in this thread running a P-M system. :) The whole thing runs at under 100w.

I am confoozled here... Why in the hell do people put X window manager on their server?! All a server can have is a power cable and an ethernet cord. If you have a problem, then connect the KVM switch to it... It's a major stability and security risk in my opinion.

X is easily started and stopped, even at that we have no trouble keeping up a triple-9 SLA with our RHES4 boxes running X and Windows 2003 Servers that are not headless or connected to a Raritan.

If your production server is going to majorly fail 99.9998% of the time it's not going to be related to a window manager or GUI. and believe it or not there are things that simply cannot be accomplished from a command line sometimes.
 
for Linux and BSD, I don't agree, never had to use any thing more then a shell to manage those. A gui just gets in my way.
 
Well for example, SolarWinds is one of the major applications we run on our Linux servers that requires X.
 
a few grabs of an ssh session into my server. PIII with like 128 Mb of ram or something like that. running ubuntu 7.04. im using it to learn on so its not headless or anything like that.

Yeah well apparently this server has never been shut off or rebooted ever since this data center was opened. We just had a new data-center built so it will be getting shut off and moved to the new location:( (probably with some updates)

Dual power supplies? I think it is your duty to rig it (if necessary) to portable power so that it stays up during the move. If you need help, Kramer knows a few guys that can help you out! :)

That's what I was gonna say.

Just a simple file server. I plan to make the server an Dual Xeon 3.4GHz w/ 4GB of RAM.

Will have a few TB of storage, and handle all my VMware stuff.
 
Ha, thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately its a 1u rack server with only one power supply, so it would be a little hard to keep er up during the move.

You could plug it into a UPS - you'd just have to be really fast at unplugging the one cord and putting the new one back in :)

Make that insanely fast. As in you couldn't do it. Better off just turning it off really. Unless of course you have ~0.01ms reaction times...:rolleyes: :D

I was joking - notice the smiley at the end of my post.

What a laugh. He (you) sounded like the witch off the Wizard of Oz or something. I encourage everybody to watch the video and laugh at the guy holding the camera as hard as you can.:D
