      @scottalanmiller said in SuperMicro Faces Delisting from Cooked Books: SuperMicro, one of the few large remaining server vendors, is facing being removed from NASDAQ over failing to file for quite some time. This is major if the vendor cannot find financing or some means of delay on delisting. So anyone want to buy a major server company?

      @DustinB3403 said in Testing oVirt...: Also I feel like the most popular instructions were a blog post, rather than official documentation. I'm not even sure they have a dedicated techwriter. This is why it is better to just follow the official RHV docs. You'll have to filter out the Red Hat specific details, like subscription-manager, but you'll definitely have a better experience

      @tim_g said in Port - Storage Spaces Direct (S2D): SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) needed only on HBA?: @dashrender RAID would be provided by SS. He would need a controller that is pass-through. Technically S2D is designed to be used by DAS systems (or JBODs if you like to make Scott facepalm), and not internal server storage... even though it works just fine. There's no problem to use RAID controller instead of a basic HBA as long as you a) patch the registry (see my link below) or use special "filter" driver to report "RAID" bus (sic!) as SATA or SAS, and b) disable write-back cache on BOTH controller and disk itself, so all writes become atomic. Storage Spaces Direct: Enabling S2D work with unsupported device types (BusType = NVMe, RAID, Fibre Channel). Part 1: Registry hack https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/resolving-enable-clusters2d-bus-type-support-issue-on-some-storage-controllers P.S. It's a BAD idea to use anything like that in production because as long as Microsoft support will discover your S2D configuration isn't supported they will pull out and walk away with a grin face.

      @FATeknollogee said in Korora 25 Cinnamon: watercooled workstation build: @StrongBad said in Korora 25 Cinnamon: watercooled workstation build: @FATeknollogee slick http://www-rhstorage.rhcloud.com/blog/vtrefny/blivet-gui-20 I just face palmed reading that first paragraph: New features LVM RAID support One of the biggest features of blivet-gui 2.0 is support of LVM RAID. When adding a new LV, you can now choose RAID level for it. LVM supports the same RAID types mdraid does but you can choose different level for every logical volume so it's more flexible than using LVM on top of an mdraid. LVM still uses md raid, just like you would normally. That said, people like their gui for all the things, why not have yet another tool to manage everything.

Just taking a quick look at the pricing, you can get those smaller Dell servers with 4 3.5" bays for less, at least in the US. that's a main problem here in Italy. If you ask for a street price for dell or hpe you go cheeper then supermicro (and local SLA is better).

      "Over time, we expect to see better support for the X553 NIC. The major competition for this unit will be when the higher core count variants come out and iterations that support 10GbE." Yep, I'd completely agree. The current one is a great low power system for backups and what not, a low end XEON could make these a great box for home lab work.

      The IPMI from SuperMicro has a web interface where you can do user maintenance for ipmi, remote control of hosts, record video(for recording other people's access to this system i guess), from there you can set Serial over Lan options. Here is the base screenshot It does use java for some things still. There are also functions here i have no clue what they are. No idea what RAKP Protocol Setting is, but it is there. Here is a nice feature, it shows how much power your host is using. It changes every few seconds.

      It was amazing that Scott found it so fast. I was on the Windows side of things. Inside Windows they were using the iSCSI initiator to connect to the FreeNAS. All the sudden Windows would just log a ton of iSCSI events and go down. I looked up the events and most people resolved them by putting the iSCSI traffic on a separate NIC. This happened two days in a row at about the same time each day. I was looking at snapshot, backup, etc times when Scott found it in the FreeNAS logs.

Every conversation ever with someone asking should I use FreeNAS or something else for my storage device, @scottalanmiller has always had the same answer. Use CentOS, or purchase a Synology. So where did this come up that you are on a FreeNAS box? Because we support customers. That's how customers work. Don't get offended, I was just asking. Don't feel bad. @scottalanmiller hasn't had his coffee yet this morning.

      @DustinB3403 said in SAM-SD Hardware Server Vendors: @scottalanmiller is there a ballpark entry price for SAM-SD hardware? Are you approving all of all the systems designed? Or did you simply license the term (like Trump) licenses his name? Prices will be available soon. It's full support, real support unlike SMB devices. So not super cheap

      SuperMicro is beginning to make the lines between Tier 1 and Tier 2 blurry as they increase their level of engineering on their products and begin to offer more and more enterprise class support for their products.

      As an update, CERT even put out an advisory to have folks not expose their management interface: http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA13-207A. I'd like to suggest taking it a step further. Other management interfaces, such as hypervisors, web control panels, SSH logins, etc. should not be exposed to the Internet.
