Ok, that might be the case actually.. So, if switch to battery caused server to go down, bad CMOS battery now prevents start? If thats a case - I will be really happy (if it comes alive that is!)

Ok, this saga ended. I bought power breakout cable for SATA drives, connected my currently few (3) drives directly to MB and all worked. Bought and replaced backplane - all works. So it does look like backplanes fail..

Yes, it does sound like CPU might be the reason. Also it wasn't immediate, I ran computer for a little after replacing CPUs Maybe I need to simply wipe CPUs with alcohol? They came from suspicious baggies (ebay)

Just trying to understand if I did something or it's simply coincidence. Repurposing old working server. Intel S2600CP motherboard. Full of DIMMs (128G) I upgraded CPUs, installed LSI card, installed windows. All fine. LSI didn't see BBU, so I opened once again to check on connection. Reboot -...

And as far as package goes - I don't know how to in TrueNAS. I did quick search and it looks like TrueNAS is not like Linux where you can install packages. They have JAILS for this. And, right now I have no drives/space for anything. I have only 16G SATADOM with FreeNAS itself and no other...

HBA onboard seem to show up: Drives don't spin up. No led activity. As I mentioned - some bay light up with red LEDs.. I think sometime when I plug drive in it might flash with red. But never HDD activity LED.. And they don't show up under list of drives. Sorry I am not understanding...

Revisited this again. Backplane SAS2--EL1 24 port 4U Right now it's not random anymore. No disks visible at all doesn't matter how many times you reboot. I tried to pull all disks and connect them directly to MB SATA ports and they all work. So it does look like backplane issue. Also, it is...

Windows Server 2022 runs just fine - already using it.

I did set largest stripe 1Mb, also changed some other stuff like Write Through, Never Read Ahead and performance so far got worse: Simply changed to "Write Back" from "Write Through" Ran test few times - differs but about like this. Not sure WHY read speed so high? I have 2 drives that read...

No but there is no such thing as "load" in our environment. And fans controlled by BMI so it should be taken care of

I changed disks to pass through and got this result: Then I moved disk to SATA6 port on MB and got this result: So, @Chriggel is right, this is all it is I guess. Interesting though that disk connected through LSI gave slightly better performance. Firmware updated to latest. Temp of chip...

Got MegaRAID, installed, everything seem to be working, took some time to find software. I am not sure about default settings it used, is it correct for SSD? My setup is mirror + hot spare. Idea is that if disk fails I won't have to look for replacement and will get some time. Are those config...

Hahaha :) Updating all of you here just in case someone has same Q. Short story - I went with @vudu suggestion :) Long story: I went force and back with M365 support on how to make their SMTP work. Settings, options, emails, etc, etc. No luck doesn't work. Then I decided to maybe get local...

Can you give some hints? What is "SMTP Relay" if we run Windows?

To mee it's all alien language :) I need outbound to 3rd party users. But not everybody. I have my own @domain.com account at o365. All I need is those emails getting fine to tis @domain.com Perhaps some commercial service can be used? Maybe AWS?

I have one hyper-v server and then I install guests. It's for small business (software) Host is pretty bare-bone software-wise. The only installed software/configs is: 1. Dynamic drive mirror for VMs 2. Backup solution for VMs (Cloudbacko) 3. ISOs share That is it. Everything else (including...

Just curious what you guys use. Seems like all big common players shutting down SMTP support (Gmail, O365). And it seems like common theme with various tools like: IPMI RAID management Backups Linux stuff etc.. All support SMTP email for alerts, etc. So, what do you use to set those up?

Thanks! I wish I could buy you a beer :) for all your help. I remember I was updating firmware on built in card in my Supermicro MB for FreeNAS. Now it's different, I want RAID1

It's DVI-D. Yes, I will need to ask nicely I guess :)

Yes, I think I will be totally OK with software raid on U.2 disks. If anything - would be nice to get them out of PCI slots (on adapters) but OTOH - It's where I get some ventilation and I am not sure of where else to mount them inside a case. So, it's fine. With that said - I don't plan on...
