If memory serves you also need some kind of activation server or management app or something, right?

That's the version I installed. I did tell it to preserve though so I'll try resetting the one box that has the warning. Oh, and FYI, still no 10Gbe NICs under vSphere 6.0U1. I haven't put any more time into getting the newer drivers to compile and given that I now have a daughter (8 days old)...

Not for me it didn't.

For SuperMicro, yes...

1 out of 3 boards, yes. The voltage in vSphere doesn't match the IPMI card on any of them.

Production? I wouldn't want a single point of failure, even an expensive one.

I'd probably go with a 100GB Intel DC S3700. They're rated for 10 drive writes per day and have very consistent performance.

I have a vCenter 6 server up and running now. This took a ridiculous amount of time because it kept erroring out on me (I think I did the install 14 or 15 times). vCSA is REALLY picky about DNS settings, and there's a bug in the installer that results in it failing EVERY time if you try and...

Nope, not needed any more. It comes up and shows as an available data store, it's just tagged as Parallel SCSI.

I would have preferred SFP+ as well, but I'll take what I can get.

I just finished installing vSphere 6.0 on my new lab hosts and it's detecting my Intel 750 NVMe SSDs as "Parallel SCSI". Any ideas on how to fix that?

Bifurcation is an option buried in the BIOS. I haven't tested it because my rider and care are for a single card. Why would you need 4x more 1gbe ports when it already has 2x 1gbe and 2x 10gbe? What are you planning on doing with this board?

The holder was part of the kit, so I don't know for sure. SuperMicro's site says: Fan Cage MCP-320-81302-0B 40x28mm fan holder (may order two for dual fan configuration) ... But I'm not sure that this is correct since I'm pretty sure that it's actually a single piece in my case. I think...

Yeah, this isn't actually a very well designed barebones. No airflow in the right side may limit expansion cards, no airflow through the PSU (thanks to the giant jumble of wires in front) will make it run hotter, and no airflow over the RAM when I'm using 32GB DIMMs is a bit scary. I was...
