Hi, I don't sadly remember as I have a KVM connected to my device, so I don't in fact keep this particular machine's BMC connected to my lan unless there's something funky going on - and while I understand it's bad practice, I have kept the default usernames/passwords for this reason on it. And...

After who knows how long, maybe a year or something similar, I power cycled my server and disconnected it completely from power as I arranged my rack again. After booting the fans didn't slow down but kept spinning around 14krpm, and bmc reported their speed value as normal with that rpm. Well...

How's the linux support? I have a fusion-io which requires a kernel module and doesn't support newer kernels..

I'm new to aruba switches but decided anyway to replace bunch of mikrotik 10G switches with s2500/s3500s. I wanted to start with a simple network without any vlans and in the long run configure these better - I just wanted to drop these in place of mikrotiks and call it a day. However during...

I have one running truenas. I run it off a cheap intel optane 16gb ssd.

So I've been keeping an eye out on this for a few weeks now and this has been gaining momentum: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock/ This has been brewing for the longest time, I remember seeing this years back vGPU on GTX or RTX or Quadro but sadly the author never released his POC code...

Yeah, now that you mention it, I'll save STH the trouble and edit this one out :confused:

I'm not sure why this is this cheap, maybe there's something I'm missing? Ordered one even though I wasn't really planning to :rolleyes: Edit: likely scam, beware https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-208415-Motherboard-Mbd-h11dsi-b-Dual-Amd-Epyc-7000-series-Sp3-Socket/284224759106 Here's...

I swapped the CMOS battery, didn't resolve the bmc self test failure. Maybe I'll try to flash an older version of the bmc firmware next (everything is up to date currently). Bmc settings page in bios is inaccessible so I can't see or change anything bmc related there.

How the CMOS battery being dead manifests? I have a "bmc failure" on boot. I can ssh into the bmc, it has been flashed (twice) to the latest firmware. Every boot takes 5-10mins so troubleshooting is a wee bit time consuming. After a lot of fiddling I got bmc access after a flash (earned a beer...

Thanks for the help. I got one running fine out of two I ordered after some hardware and software tinkering. Other one was somewhat beaten during transport and has physical damage. Waiting for a response from seller so I haven't really spent time with this one, apart from one evening. As the...

I finally found the working version for the storcli. The one off the broadcom site didn't recognize the controller even though sas3flash listed it. I tried the broadcom storcli on embedded efi shell, on linux and on windows server. The one downloaded from here...

Could you write up the versions of sas3flash/storcli and methods used? I've tried integrated EFI shell, no luck, I tried on linux as well, no controller found. And as I have no bmc access, either, I feel like I'm running in circles.

It didn't sadly pick up an ip via ipmi. I'll try to troubleshoot more in the coming days if I find time. Thanks for the help! Thanks for the zip! Firmware seems to be available via qct.io site but lacking the bios files for some reason :confused: Edit: is there a user manual available...

Thanks, I'll try to check out this today after work :)

So after Fedex initially promised the shipment to be on 10. day of February, I finally received two servers today on the 25. A tad bit late, but not a big deal. Luckily kids were at grandparents so I had a free evening to spend it with best way I could imagine - tinkering with new hardware...

Where? By a quick glance, they're going for nearly 700 euros in EU. I want a few to play with :p

So just to recap, flash order is: 1.) Bmc 2.) Sas expander 3.) Bios? I'll hopefully get my hands on these come next week. Any news on non-java iKVM?

I've owned multiple second hand servers from dell and lately hp ml350p gen8 (which I sold a few weeks ago). Personally due to hp not offering isos anymore and their used component scarcity (I had to ship a drive cage across the pond) I won't be buying into their ecosystem at this time. HP's gpu...

Ordered a few after selling off an old server. Shipping across the pond costs more than the servers, but such is life of a homelabber.
