i'm probably going to put VSphere/ESX 6u1 on my quad opterons with 128GB of ram
You're going to pay that much ?

AFAIK you don't get 4P capability from vmware with eval or free versions thus the question
(Directed @ Giga)
I'm very glad I got my server. I may be working a contract job soon that wants Mirage implemented. I've experimented with it before, but that was a year and a half ago, so I need to refresh my memory
Stale thread ... let's take a trip down memory lane:
My Lab V1.0
- 2x Dell Poweredge 1900's with 2x Quad-Core E5335 Xeon CPUs each
- 1x PowerVault 745N re-flashed/converted to NAS duty
My Lab V2.0
- 1x PowerEdge 1900
- 3x PowerEdge T110 (Gen 1)
My Lab V3.0
- 3x PowerEdge T110-II (Gen 2)
= ----- = Power/Cooling/Noise takes it's toll after a while so start shrinking
Old:
My Lab V4.0
2x each of the following
- Intel DQ67SW3 Motherboard
- Intel i7-2600 CPU
- GSkill Ares 32GB RAM (4x 8GB)
- InWin BK644 mATX case
- 4x 2.5" in 5.25" drive cage (SNT-SAS425)
- 3x Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB
I actually multi-boot different hypervisors, but XenServer is primary.
I sit in front of my lab so it's "Workstation" material.
2x Cisco SG300-20 switches
1x QNAP TS-659 Pro II NAS
1x Dell PowerEdge T110 w/ PERC H700 (yes from my second lab) NAS
At this point I simply have everything rewired and powered up ...nothing configured.
whats the game plan?
What chassis is that for the storage box?
Running vSphere 6 & vSAN. However I can't figure out why I can't upload any files to the vSAN or use the desktop app to view the console for any VMs.
Virtual SAN manages data in the form of flexible data containers called objects. virtual machine files are referred to as objects.
Virtual machines files are referred to as objects.
There are four different types of virtual machine objects:
- VM Home
- VM swap
- VMDK
- Snapshots
Virtual machine objects are split into multiple components based on performance and availability requirements defined in VM Storage profile.
becouse VSAN is object store:
so I assume you want to "put" files on VSAN.
You can use Nexenta Connect for VSAN to "make" space on VSAN for sharing that using NFS/CIFS ( or even you can deploy anything like FreeNAS and deploy HDDs on top of VSAN )
regarding console - i have no clue - cant you access from browser ? ( right click on deployed VM ) - right now i cant see any VM's deployed in your cluster...
From that to this....
Anyhow ... the stats as of now:
Gateway Node:
(AD/DNS/DHCP/File/Print + VM management/appliances + Remote Access)
- SuperMicro A1SRi-2758F
- Intel Atom C2758 8 core / 8 thread 2.4GHz
- Crucial 32GB DDR3 (4 x 8GB ECC UDIMM)
Compute nodes:
- SuperMicro X10SRI-F
- Intel Xeon E5-1620v3 6 core / 12 thread 2.4GHz
- 64GB DDR4 (2x32GB modules - up to 256GB possible)
- Mellanox Connectx3 dual port 10Gb (DAC to host and storage)
Storage node:
- SuperMicro X10SL7-F
- Intel Xeon E3-1220v3 4 core / 4 thread 3.1GHz
- Crucial 32GB DDR3 (4 x 8GB ECC UDIMM)
- Mellanox Connectx3 dual port 10Gb (DAC to hosts)
- Samsung EVO SSD (8 x 500GB)
- Can expand up to 24 7mm drives if needed ...not likely though.
- NAS4Free 10.2
- Plan to back up to existing QNAP unit that backs up to a single 3TB drive.
Networking:
- Cisco SG300-20 switches
Power
- CyberPower 1u UPS (sorry..capacity and model escape me right now)
At this point I simply have everything rewired and powered up ...nothing configured.
Well fellas .... not as sexy as some of your setups, but this is what I have with my limited budget.
-Linksys WRT1200AC
-TP-LINK TL-SG1016DE
-HP Z200, i3-530 - Windows Server '12 Standard, Core, file server (smb, nfs, plex)
-HP DL380 G5, Dual L5148, 16gb, running HP customized ESXi 6.0
-HP DL380 G5, Dual L5148, 16gb, running HP customized ESXi 6.0
Really liking that setup.
One chassis is that for the compute nodes?
i am about the pull the trigger on something very similar. just trying to pick the right chassis for the job.
Very slick.
Youre Homelab loogs great ;-)

Thx

Nice dude, just beautiful. I actually followed your build over at STH. Was wondering how those Xeon D's are working out for you?
