Hopefully some of you smart people can figure this out.
I have a reasonably powerful PC that I am running a fairly simple Windows 10 VM on. It's just Windows 10, Office, and Slack to isolate all my pandemic work activities.
Machine specs:
Threadripper 1950X, 128 GB ECC, and 2x1TB 970 EVO+ in...
I have a new LG 49UB8500 that I picked up on the MicroCenter special. I've been waiting for a ~50" 4k60 single stream below $1,000 so it was time to bite.
I'm running it off a GTX 960 on HDMI 2.0 so I'm getting 3840x2160 @ 60hz with full chroma - Life is basically good. I was even pleasantly...
I am getting rather annoyed at how long my home ESXi machine takes to boot. It's 30+ minutes, maybe more like 45. 90% of that time is spent at one line: s.v00. I've found lots of references on google to crashing during boot on s.v00, but very little reference to what it actually is or why it...
So I have this machine I've been fighting with for a few months. It's fairly basic, normal hardware:
Norco 4224 loaded with:
Tyan S7025
2x Xeon 5606
48 GB DDR3
2x IBM BR10i RAID cards flashed to IT firmware
1x Areca ARC-1680 w/4 GB
Quad port Intel gigabit NIC
2x Intel SSD on motherboard SAS...
I've hit a bit of a roadblock on my new ESXi machine. I am passing through two IBM BR10i controllers to my NexentaStor VM without issue. In my test installs all drives are seen, performance is as expected, etc.
For my final installation I planned to pass the ICH10 SATA ports in and use a...
Anybody have any idea what the default IPMI/iKVM login is for a Tyan S7025? I've found some Tyan documentation for other boards that suggests root/superuser but that's not working. I can't find any documentation anywhere in the box or their website. I've configured the IP in the BIOS and it's...
I recently wiped my machine and upgraded from XP x64 to 7 Ultimate x64. I'm now having difficulty accessing some of the data on my storage drives. I want to force ownership changes on all files on the drives to resolve any lingering traces of my previous machine/security accounts.
The problem...
After months of indecision I finally placed an order for my new RAID storage system. I particularly agonized over the cost difference between a hot-swappable SAS compatible enclosure and the (much cheaper) non hot-swappable, SATA only models. I finally decided on the non hot-swappable since the...
ColorVision Spyder2Pro in original box w/all accessories, discs, etc. Will include a burned CD with the latest software revision.
I upgraded to ColorEyes Display Pro + a DTP94 so I don't need this anymore.
$140 shipped.
For those who don't know me from AnandTech...
