Adding exceptions for vlan 1 on those ports looks to be the ticket. (I also added vlan 10 to the dvport group) No more dhcp offers from the other vlans. yea! As for the next step in learning\testing, I went ahead and created an interface in astaro for the lab lan. I can now ping computers...

Its just a basic managed layer 2 switch, lacp, trunking, vlans. Web interface only. If I understand you correctly, I should remove the vlan 10 ports from the untagged vlan 1 (exclude is the switches term) so it's only on vlan 10. I do have an astaro utm that will be the router for the vlan...

I finally updated my lab switch here at the house, (HP 1810-24g) and started to play around with ways to separate my "lab" portion of my network away from the "production" portions. Let me describe what I have running, 2 Esxi hosts, 1 nas for vm shared storage, Vcenter has 3 dvswitches one...

Your right, it's to many layers. once I did a test build, it got scrapped in a hurry. I ended up just building ESXi on the hardware and passing through the onboard lsi to freenas and sharing the media out as cifs (via dfs links from one of the Windows guests.) I did for giggles create a few...

I second this mo-board selection. I have this board w/ 1230v3 running esxi with the lsi passed to freenas. It's been working good. Though performance suffers a little with less than 12Gb of ram assigned to freenas. (6x4tbZ2)

This is interesting, let me make sure I understand what you have setup. You have 2 hypervisors, both with freenas vms's, and then the storage from each is iscsi'ed to the other hypervisor?

I have been running a AIO Esxi (9450 w\10Gb ram) with Astaro for years. I've had very little problems with it (outside of realtek nics). If your current hardware has the power/compatibility, you can convert your current Sophos box to Esxi and then download the virtual appliance and use your...

I'm looking for ideas on the best way to add this storage. Here's the story: Home lab components: SM MBD-X10SL7-F-O 1230V3 32Gb ram 6x 4Tb NAS drives 256Gb SSD, MLC Current configuration thought: ESXi 5.5 pass-through the (IT mode'ed) LSI to freenas 9.x attaching the 6x4tb drives as...

I've spent the last week reading and testing what I can with my existing hardware. I'm looking to buy a GA-990FXA-UD5 or ASRock 970 Extreme3 with a 8350 & 32Gb for this new setup. Which mobo depends on if phase 2 is doable or not. Phase1: I have 3 severs currently, two esxi5.1 (6 guests to be...

I almost forgot to report the end result of all of this. I ended up getting a EVO 212 and that put the heat issue to bed. I even get a mild OC off the chip too, 4.4 on 2 cores and 4.2 on 4 cores @ 1.2v and 75c. It will go 4.5x2 and 4.4x4 @ 1.255v and 90c but I need this chip to last a few years...

Being a person that cannot leave anything well alone. I dug around in the garage for an hour and found the HSF from my old Q9450. I know 755 is smaller than 1150, but with a few mods and holding my mouth right, I got it to bolt on. Its about double the size of the 4770k stocker. See here So...

Out of curiosity, what batch is yours? Mines L312B326

Yes, I have not even bothered with OC'ing other than the light setting within Easytune (4.1), and that was just a short gaming session and then I reset it all back to auto. I may manually set stock settings and see if that's any different. The screen print above was handbrake running. In my...

Ok I couldn't wait to tear it down. :p Pulled the mobo out, looked a-ok. I pulled HSF off anyway, re-tim'ed it and reinstalled. Same deal. See link to screenprint below. Even with a new HSF (I ordered a Evo 212) I cannot imagine this cpu will overclock at all. I may take newegg up on their...

I'm pretty sure everything is installed OK, but I'll tear the mobo out tomorrow and be absolutely sure I have good contact and then re-install. Do any of you have any experience doing an RMA for this sort of thing? (assuming my re-mount doesn't have any effect)

Ive never been a serious overclock'er, and figured that I'd go a bit deeper on this build, and grabbed a 4770k and a z87x-ud3h. I've been using it stock as I don't have a HSF yet, and noticed that my load temps are crazy high. This is what Ive been seeing at all stock settings: idle / browsing...

After flashing these cards with a wide variety of reference roms, it's indeed the stock rom preventing xfire/overdrive. Long testing/research story short, I found a rom that works. For anyone else in this situation info on it can be found in this thread over at netkas...

The bsod happens when I click apply on enabling xfire only. Games play fine on the individual cards. (on either slot or power lead) I did have some success right before I went to bed. I got the cards to enable with 10.11 drivers. BUT (of course) video on games tear to the point where they are...

I was thinking the CF bridge was the culprit too, but it's the exact model they show as replacements for a wide variety of models Bridge @ newegg. The one I have was still in it's original plastic package when I got it years ago. I know, never say DOA doesn't happen, It's just not likely. I'll...

There are not any old drivers, I fresh installed the OS after each of the drivers I tested. (I also did them in a single instance of the OS too, for giggles) Thanks for the suggestion though.

I recently acquired two 5770's to use in my EP45-DS3R board, but I'm having a hell of a time getting it to work. Advice/Suggestions most appreciated! testing: Both cards work fine on their own, and in each of the slots. Tried 13.1 , 12.8 and 11.12 drivers. (each on fresh OS installs)...

I have it working for an external HDD in 5.1, but I dont think it was passthrough, it was a special USB option in the vm's edit hardware, I wish I had a console in front of me to look.... I'll check when I get home.

I'm not clear on somethings discussed, is RDM not advisable on any whitebox hardware? I read in another thread about RDM and thought it could be a solution to my problems, (able to move drives to/from real servers and most importantly, not having to datashuffle my 8tb raid array) So as a test I...

Q2 & Q3

I was down in Austin for 7 Months working for IBM at one of the state agency's for this project. After my first two weeks on the job, I knew that it was a sinking ship. I hauled ass as soon as I could. IBM spread itself way to thin, I not once in the entire time I worked there, saw my direct...

Don't have time to read all the posts in this thread, (ATM) but I personally noticed that when we moved, our netflix disc went down hill rapidly. I personally think its a local PO issue.

Thanks for the tips. The only bad thing about Vantage, is its only Vista. And I will have the dubious honor of doing XP 32/64 & Vista 32/64. He also didnt like the price of sysmarks package :rolleyes: so He bought passmark, which seems OK, I guess. I did find some benchs for specific...

I went over and got a little more info of what he is looking for, its fairly basic. -Over all hardware speed -Office productivity (2003/2007 specifically) -A few apps they use here on Campus (matlab,soldworks,autocad,etc) -Gaming wouldn't hurt as a vast majority of these are going to be...

hiya folks, the boss man asked me to come up with a benchmark suite for all incoming models, (Dell and Apple Products) I took a look at a few on the web, (Futuremark,Sysmark,Sandra), they didn't seem quite what we are looking for. Does anyone have any suggestions on a few products?

Thanks for the input, pulled the trigger on the GA-E7AUM-DS2H.

It will be for a HTPC, I spent the last 15 minutes trying to find the blurb that was talking about the 8xxx & 9xxx series having support for 8 Channel LPCM over HDMI where the 4500's didnt. (or something to that effect) I'm going senile. Never the less, I was thinking that I wouldnt ever use...

I guess the question really is, 9400 vs 4500HD, both the boards seem to suit my needs, but I hear that the 9400's have better Audio (or rather implement the functions on the chip better.) too. If you were buying one, what one would you pick? TIA! Figured I should add a link or two to...

I'll take a card. Thanks.:cool:

Thanks that worked like a charm. I was thinking of the MUCU utility for Novell, but with DSADD who needs it... Code:FOR /L %i in (1,1,500) DO dsadd user "cn=Test User%i,ou=Test Users,dc=fourthcoffee, dc=com" -samid testuser%i -upn testuser%[email protected] -fn Test -ln User%i -display "Test...

I swear that I seen/used a tool like this before, but I can not seem to find one now. What I need to do is create a ton of user objects (like 20k) for testing purposes. Anyone know of a free tool (or another way to do this?)

Your observations are correct.;) Unfortunately is has some pre-release reference driver for the video, so I couldn't do any 3D testing. I'm going to see if I can find a Blu-ray drive and see how it does on HD and such. I was surprised that it was loaded up with display ports, even the...

We just got a pre-release model (under NDA so I can't get specific) with the Q43/45 chipset, I really cant find any decent info on this, how different is it from P/G43/45's?

Thanks for the tips, I did a little extra goofing around last night, and took my existing firewall and VM'ed it into the "2nd" box for additional testing, I think i can finagle the data around if I move the 2Tb array to the 2nd box. Anywho, I also saw something last night during my reading...

I have been playing with ESXi since it was released as a free download, and I think I'm ready to take the full virtualized plunge. I want to combine my current 2k3 server, my Astaro firewall into one box and then the other box as a lab training, experimenting, etc.... The issue I see, is that...
