I have this "simple" setup Node 1 "STORAGE" OS: Ubuntu 14.04 (server) IB: Mellanox ConnectX 2 Software installed: Mellanox OFED 2.3-2.0.0 (ubuntu14.04-x86_64) Node 2 "HYPERV1" OS: ESXi 5.5 IB: Mellanox ConnectX 2 Software installed: MLNX-OFED-ESX-1.8.2.0, mlx4_en-mlnx-1.6.1.2-471530...

Hi, I'm trying to install the latest Mellanox OFED drivers on a ESXi 5.5 host but I get a dependency error /tmp # esxcli software vib install -d /tmp/MLNX-OFED-ESX-1.8.2.4-10EM-500.0.0.472560.zip --no-sig-check [DependencyError] VIB...

4x WD RE4 1TB - RAID5 - 3Ware / LSI 9650SE-8LPML | 256MB DDR2 | w/o BBU - Adaptec 6805E | 128MB (DDR2?) | w/o BBU - Adaptec 5405 | 256MB DDR2 | w/ BBU - LSI 9240-8i | w/o cache | w/o BBU The server will be under UPS so the BBU is not so important.

nothing? noatime,discard in fstab? manual/scheduled fstrim command? something else?

I'm replacing my Synology RS814 with this more powerful and flexible solution - Supermicro X10SLH-F - Core i3-4130T - 16GB DDR3 1333 ECC - 4x WD RE4 1TB (RAID10) (ore more..) - 2x Crucial MX100 512GB (RAID1) - Mellanox ConnectX2 IB (40Gigabit) The Hard Drives will store all my "NAS"...

Hi, In my homelab I have a 2-node esxi 5.5 cluster (E5620 + 24GB RAM each). The shared storage is provided by a Synolgy RS814 (NFS) with 4x WD RE4 1TB (Raid10). Link aggregation bound on the NAS, LAG group on the Cisco SG300 and IP Route based balancing on the vSwitch. Everything works...

Hi, I'm trying to understand if I can run my Opteron 3320 EE on the Supermicro H8SCM-F motherboard. The Supermicro specs on the website only says this means the 3300 serie is not supported or since the 4000 is supported "of course" the 3300 it is?

I'm looking for a SSD to use in my home ESXi server. I plan to store on it the vCenter appliance and a couple of VMs. 250/256GB should be enough. Suggestions? Could the Crucial MX100 be ok?

Hi, I'm building a Plex Media Server and I'm not sure which hard drives buy. I'm looking for 4 drives (in RAID 10). They should be able to sustain about 4-5 simultaneous 1080p (8Mbit) video streams. What you think about the WD Purple series? They are optimized for video surveillance but...

looks like a Slot1 Celeron with some kind of clip to keep it in the socket (?) I never seen nothing like that. Could be a prototype? edit: ok should be just a normal slot 1 celeron like that: I must correct: I never seen a slot 1 heatsink like that :D

Hi, not sure if this is a network topic, anyway... I have the following stuff - Synology RS814 with 2x 1Gigabit interfaces (4x 3TB WD Red drives, Raid 10) - Custom ESXi server with 2x 1Gigabit free interfaces - CISCO SG-300-10 Layer 3 switch What I want to archive I would like to...

I have to buy a storage server for a vmware cluster. The budget is about $20K. We already have an EMC Isilon as main storage, so this will be just in case of any problem with the isilon. The usable space should be at least 10TB, with 10K rpm drives in RAID10 (no raid5-6 etc.) ideas?

Which one is better for RAID10 with 4x WD RE 1.0TB in a ESXi 5.5 host? The 3Ware should be an higher range card but looks like discontinued (last drivers/firmware are date 2012) while the adaptec is an entry level but still fully supported. suggestions?

yesterday I had one of my baddest ideas ever: I plugged a Samsung Laster Printer into a brand new APC Smart UPS :( (SMT750RMI2U, 500W) I don't know how but I didn't know that "do not plug a laser printer into a UPS" is one of the first rules about UPS's.. Anyway, the display started...
