Thank you, this will definitely shorten my search.

I am looking to adding a video card to each of my hosts for vmware. Just wondering if anyone knows which nvidia card will work in the C6220 and fit in the chassis.

There is a setting in the bios to change the power on. Also just re-flash everything and you should be good. I flashed both my c6100 and c6220 straight to the latest firmware via dos without following any order. I did have to flash the BMC on a few nodes multiple time before it finally took. I...

I have a c6220 v I, I have had it running esxi 5.5 6.0 and now 6.5 on all four nodes using vsan with the original BIOS for years. The issue I have is node 1 will only post so far and then I get a 0025 in the lower right side of a black screen. If I power down the chassis and hold the power...

You could, it is just software but the drives have to have the dell compellent firmware to work with the compellent software. or so i understand, I may be wrong. Latest firmware on the connectx 2 cards and the latest firmware on the connectx card

The compellent controller is a supermicro system with scsi cards and a 16 bay SAS backplane. The sas backplane is powered but not connected so the drive bays do not work. The compellent software is loaded on a 4gb sata2 flash module. I removed the flash module and put a ssd drive in its place...

I configure the connection via IB_SRPT with a ISCSI target that show up on ESXI as a SCSI.

never mind, I ran all the tests in the diagnostic image and this switch is toast...

I can only access it via telnet or ssh, I have never been able to access the web UI even after a factory reset the switch.

I bought one of these on ebay and I could not enable the web interface so I configured it using the CLI. I would like to enable the web interface but I cannot seems to get it to work, I have tried using both the service port and the inband network. One think to note the javamode command in the...

That's true, and sometime in the future when my interests are with storage devices I will most likely build something new, but right now I am concentrating on vSphere and VDI as that is the direction that my work is taking me.

The way I have set this up is. I configured the C6100 with all four node running esxi, the top two nodes each have a 10 TB data-store(6 2tb drives raid 5 using the m5015 raid card each) , I use open-filer VMs to present two 2x 2 TB luns for shared storage(one from each datastore). All the hosts...

As I was going to virtualize my Gateway/Firewall (pfsense) I have decided that I could just use that to route traffic to and from the infiniband and Ethernet networks.
