I would expect this lot of 8 to work...

Docker is probably your easiest solution

Disclaimer, this is from an R1208GZ, I think the big thing is giving the BMC info about the bays that are populated, like so: I get the same sort of info from my R2312GZ BMC.

Teedy checks a bunch, but not all of those boxes. https://github.com/sismics/docs I don't think it can do the expiration, but never tried.

Industrial practice is typically to ground dc negative, I would absolultely do that if I was running multiple pieces of equipment off of DC or using multiple DC supplies. As you found, DC can float and that can be a bad thing...

If you don't need 12g for SSD, why not just do somehting like a netapp ds2246 or HPE or EMC equivalent? Note, for SATA and dual link you will need interposers that link the SATA disks to both controllers, without they will only be seen by one controller. I have a netapp, but if buying today I'd...

Something like this? https://zstor.de/en/solutions/nvme-storage/nv24g4-nvme-jbof-expansion-enclosure I'm sure if you have to ask....

The lenovo usb-c docks are available very cheaply on E-Bay, and should work well for your needs. There is a wiki that compares them here: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/wiki/newdocks/#wiki_40an_-_thinkpad_thunderbolt_3_workstation_dock_.2F_thinkpad_thunderbolt_3_dock_gen_2 The 40AN is well...

If you don't need a lot of direct attached storage, something like a lenovo/dell/hp tiny with vPro for remote control could work, support 32-64gb of ram, and have an I7 or i5 with quicksync. If you need the 4x 3.5" drives, something like a P330 SFF, again with quicksync and vPro would work...

Dumb idea-have you tried all of the BP ports individually? (IE are you sure you don't have any dead ports on the expander?) Will they all individually see drives?

I have not played with the HPE unit. I have a Netapp ds2246 in my basement that definitely works with SATA drives, with a caveat, they are only seen by one of the two controllers due to not having dual path. I think there may be some trays with SATA/SAS interposers that would solve that...

Question about the 7250-48p, on 9.0.10; the cli seems slow and laggy at times. Is that normal?

I plugged a camera into each to see if it powered up.

If you do the config upload at the 8.0.80mc step, when it gets updated the update will translate dual mode. I haven't played with/don't know differences besides cosmetic. Edit: basically all moved to the 7250, with one exception; one patch cable too short for the ~4" lateral shift of the...

I did a tftp download to a text file, from enable prompt: Copy running-config tftp “IP Address” “Filename.cfg” That got me the current 6450 config. I then used fodesha's guide to get the 7250 to the 8.0.90mc version, which is the last "old" format version. Once that was done, I pasted the text...
