#poweredge — Public Fediverse posts

Dell just had its biggest single-day stock gain ever — up ~32% — after AI server revenue grew 757% to $16.1B. But "Dell AI server" is really one product: the PowerEdge XE9712 (NVIDIA GB200/GB300 NVL72). And the main buyers aren't AWS or Google — they're neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nscale.

Guys, I'm a HP person, meaninh: working mostly with hardware from this co. Now I have an old #Dell #PowerEdge R350, in some other part of the world to administer. I have access to all network resources, passwords, ppl who might help for simple tasks on location, but no it expert.
I need a KVM on the host machine to install proxmox. I wandered through the mazes of Dell's websites and acvountsz but they couldn't help me to buy a license for the #idrac, that allows me to use KVM console. Is there a person who's able and willing to help me? Someone who knows how to get the license and how to install it?

A little server hardware fun for my fellow #InfoTech #Dell #PowerEdge admins.

This is the Dell PowerEdge, well, it's kinda "old" as the salesperson said.

It has like 2 TB of RAM, 2 AMD EPYC CPUs, tons of hotswappable SSD slots, SFP modules, and other cool shit.

This whole thing costs like 300k - 500k baht. (9k - 15k USD)

Got the motherboard replacement on my PowerEdge R415 installed. The biggest issue was getting the Sevice Tag transferred to the new board. If you are running Linux, this worked great. The package in the debian repos was smbios-utils.

Me parece impresionante lo fácil que es mover todo el sistema #UnRAID físicamente de un servidor a otro totalmente distinto. En mi caso de un HP #ProLiant ML110 G7 con 3 discos mecánicos y un SSD a un Dell #PowerEdge T330. Sólo he tenido que llevarme el "pincho" USB (que lo puedo "esconder" dentro del servidor gracias al conector USB que tiene en la placa base) y los discos y conectarlo todo en el T330. Arrancar y listo. (1/3)

This is mostly for my own personal documentation use but I thought I'd share how awesome an old @Dell #PowerEdge #R710 server can be, even today when running @openSUSE #Tumbleweed as my server OS. There are good reason for using it too, more in the future on that.

Redid my #Proxmox cluster so there are now 3 nodes again! Two #Intel #MacBookPro devices and a #PowerEdge with #Debian #NFS backed storage. Gotta say, aside from the slower USB Ethernet (Proxmox and WiFi don't get along) the MacBooks are great hypervisors

Is the Dell Poweredge R720XD the Toyota Camry of the server/IT world?

Pues con los caddies recién llegados, ya estaríamos con los últimos elementos: 2 discos procedentes del QNAP. Ahora ajustar el SAI y ya tendría NAS para rato. 😊

#Dell #PowerEdge #T330 #NAS #TrueNAS

Pues ya estaría actualizado. Aquí tengo potencia para dar y regalar (o por lo menos eso espero 😅 ). Ahora sólo me faltan un par de caddies y traspasar datos de QNAP a TrueNAS.

Se viene más mandanga. Me faltarían 4 (o 2 mínimo) caddies más y ya estaríamos.

@fennix I've got two #PowerEdge at home... #homelab

Pues el consumo tampoco está tan mal para ser un servidor con dos SSD y 2 discos mecánicos SAS y 2 PSUs: 42W. Sí, sé que no es el consumo de un miniPC, pero se contiene bastante bien y se supone que con el cambio de CPU bajará un poco más.
#Dell #PowerEdge #T330 #HomeLab

Bueno, esto ya tiene otra pinta. InstaladoTrueNAS Scale a la última versión, Boot Pool (SSD) y Pool de datos (discos mecánicos SAS-3) en espejo (RAID1). He optado por poner la controladora en modo HBA para que TrueNAS se encargue al 100% de la gestión #RAID de los discos. Pendiente del cambio de CPU y ampliación de memoria.

iDRAC actualizado progresivamente a la 2.85.85.85, viniendo de la 2.30.30. A partir de ahí, todos los firmwares actualizados sin problemas a pesar de un pequeño susto en la actualización de la BIOS que se ha solicitado “sólo” 🤷🏻‍♂️. Esto de actualizar todo por iDRAC y sin pagar un duro (no como HP), es una delicia.

@HankB using the standard #Dell #PowerEdge embedded raid, H710 Mini and the failed disk was a RAID10

My #NFS might have commit death, but I'm not sure how yet... So far from the autopsy: Two physical disks in a #RAID10 virtual disk have failed. It seems they may be the same stripe but I'm unsure how to confirm. I've ordered two new disks to try and rebuild the raid but I think any of the non-archived data will be lost 😭 if I have to restore data from my archives, I may push mastodon to use a smaller disk for media instead of NFS.

Any #Dell #PowerEdge #Debian or relevant perspective welcome!!

Turns out, there are only three personality types:

RAID, HBA, and eHBA.

These questions have been answered :)

Please boost of visibility if you can't answer these questions. #boostsappreciated

So, here's my #homelab / #selfhosting #question:

I've set my sights on an eBay listing for a #Dell #PowerEdge R720 w/ 2x Xeon E5-2643's, 96 GB of PC3-10600R RAM, and 8x 3.5" HDD bays, all for just under $300. (Supposedly 3.5" bays, a bit confused on this point as their listing disagrees with the title – I've messaged the seller for clarification.)

My hope is to just drop the TrueNAS drives from the original machine "as-is" into the server and hopefully at the worst have to do some boot repair.

Anyway, the actual questions are:

• I know next to nothing about actual server equipment – is this plan rotten from the beginning?
• Is this server a decent "starting point" for a home lab that's graduating off consumer grade hardware?
• Will I need much of anything else in addition to the blade itself??

#selfhosted #server #serverupgrade #nas #askfedi #askmastodon #askadmins

Holy cow. I had no idea that the newest models of #Dell #PowerEdge servers can have the BOSS (Boot optimized Storage System) card added in later. Damn. That changes things a little...in a very good way.
