I have 10 servers (2 x full C6100's and 2 x CS24-TY's). They have been pretty good to me, but I have an overly complex setup and Im looking to simplify things and upgrade to a bit newer cpu's, etc. Are there any good deals going on these days for quad node type servers? I think I will just use...

Out of curiosity, where are you talking about? What exact town/state?

Huh? They are 40% cheaper. 50% when they are on sale.

I know this is an older thread, but figured others might benefit from this as well. I just bought two of them for $12 a piece: Amazon.com: General 2.5" SSD to 3.5" SATA Hard Disk Drive HDD Adapter CADDY TRAY CAGE Hot Swap Plug: Computers & Accessories EDIT: oops, these are the same thing as...

What was the performance like for your 3 node cluster? I have a small 3 node ceph storage cluster (10G ethernet,2 x 512G OSD's per host, 24G ram, dual 5520 cpus, replica 2) in each server and I was a bit disappointed in the low IOPS it was able to do for both read and write. Just curious how...

Well if its only for ssh/web interface usage and occasional ip kvm console access (java), then it should be fine right? You are just talking about total throughput, right? Heck, Im not even connected to anything higher than 100mbit and when it comes to the uplinks and I dont see myself moving a...

For those that bought one of these babies. What do you think of them so far? Im needing a reliable VPN device for my colo and this seemed like a great option. Mainly just use it to access the management networks (will it handle multiple subnets fine?).

Has anyone written anything to automate the process of getting the jviewer.jnlp file for remote access? Its a pain in the arse getting in my opinion.

Weird. Flashing it again for the 3rd time seemed to solve it. LOL.

Legen, did you ever solve your dhcp issue? After upgrading mine on one, it was fine, but another when I try to set a static IP, I get: /usr/bin/ipmitool -I open lan set 1 ipaddr 10.0.1.107 Setting LAN IP Address to 10.0.1.107 LAN Parameter Data does not match! Write may have failed.

Thanks. Firefox seemed to hide that download, so I didnt notice. What a pain. luckily i dont have to use it often. LOL.

I have two Dell C1100 CS24-TY servers with BCM Firmware version 0.29. When I try to go the kvm console in firefox on osx system, it brings up a file browser like its asking to pick an application to open it. I do have java installed and it works fine with my c6100's. I thought maybe i needed...

Same here. :/

Im in need of some help. I have a dell c1100 with 18 dimms of 4gb ram and dual 5520 CPUs. Supposedly they are organized in 6 banks of 3. I cat figure out from the manual which ones i need to keep populated to scale down to only 6 dimms totally 24gb.. The manual doesn't say which slots are which...
