Trying to install AlmaLinux 8.8 on a Dell R640. It's equipped with 10 NVMe drives. All show up in iDRAC. All show up *initially* in AlmaLinux 8.8 installion destinationo area. However, once I select all 10 and click the blue done button to proceed to custom partition step, only 2 are selected...

Trying to install AlmaLinux 8 on a Dell R640 equipped with 10 x 7.68TB NVMe U.2 drives. All 10 show up in iDRAC storage inventory so they're recognized, but only 9 show up in AlmaLinux install (via IPMI). Curious why and if there's a fix? I was advised to disable Intel VMD (Volume Management...

I have a Dell R640 with Dell HBA330 Mini (Embedded) controller. However, in Lifecycle Controller area when I select "configure RAID" I get the attached error, despite rebooting (power cycle) a few times. I installed TrueNAS to a 250GB SSD (drive bay 9). The other 8 x 8TB SSD drives are the...

I only put "0000" here in the forum, for privacy sake. I used the actual subnet assigned by ARIN and got that message.

Thank you. I ran it and got this message. What does this mean exactly? #ipv6 address 0000:F180:C::/48 %Vlan2: Warning: 0000:F180:C::/48 is a Subnet Router Anycast

Hello, I have this Cisco switch: WS-C3650-24TS I need to assign an /48 IPv6 subnet to a specific VLAN (virtual server node). I'm not sure the command is for IPV6, compared to IPv4. For example: IPv4: ip address 000.123.1 255.255.255.0 secondary What would IPv6 look like (secondary too)? I...

Can someone please help me figure out how to upgrade the drivers and firmware for my Dell R610 BCM5709 NIC? I'm baffled why it's so confusing on Dell's site. #lspci -nnk [root@server ~]# lspci -v | grep Ethernet -A 1 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme II...

Looking to buy brand new or Cisco refresh certified L3 switches, mainly Nexus line 3000 or 9000 series. I have some questions: N3K-C31108PC-V-RF (is this a good switch in general for web hosting?) Is essentials license 100% required to use basic features like BGP routing? why are essentials...

My virtualization's server memory is maxed out and need your help on clarifying which memory will work. I’m getting different RAM pics for same specs online, so want to avoid a 2 hour drive to the colo for nothing. Attached are outputs. Would appreciate your help on this. Need to get another...

Thanks for the tip, but would M.2 with adapter to be used in front bays still work in general? All 10 bays? I found this U.2 option. Although the document you provided doesn't mention U.2, do you think 10 of these would work seamlessly...

Thanks, but the U.2 seem to be extremely pricey compared to M.2. Are there better solutions, more streamlined as simple as plug n' play, hot swap like traditional drives or SATA SSD? I'd rather use NVMe (as many as possible) than SSD or U.2. That link says nothing about U.2 compatibility but...

870 EVO are SSD, not NVMe. The whole thread is specifically about NVMe and M.2 not U.2 or SSD.

Looking to get some new Dell rackmount servers for enhancing web hosting servers but instead of using usual 2.5" SSD (front bays), I'd like to use NVMe 2.5" drives instead, front bays if possible. I'm looking at Dell R440 Example build for VPS hosting: BuildMyServer - Nerds for Life NVMe...
