    [Newegg] ASRock Rack D1541D4U-2O8R mATX 8-core Xeon D-1541 mobo with SFP+ $179!

    I'm also interested in one if anyone decides they don't want theirs.

    [Newegg] ASRock Rack D1541D4U-2O8R mATX 8-core Xeon D-1541 mobo with SFP+ $179!

    I don't suppose anyone has buyer's remorse? I need a new storage server =)

    WTB: sata cable #6J3R2 for Dell C6100

    These are a bit thicker than the Dell cables, but I had a hard time finding them for a reasonable amount, so I decided to try these. You can run them along the side of the node like the 6J3R2, though, so I don't think they impact airflow much more than the official cables. Here are a couple of...

    WTB: sata cable #6J3R2 for Dell C6100

    I can't help you source that cable, but I used the following products from Monoprice in my C6100: 18inch SATA 6Gbps Cable w/Locking Latch - UV Blue 18inch SATA 6Gbps Cable w/Locking Latch (90 Degree to 180 Degree) - UV Blue (important if you fill the PCIe slot!) They also have forward breakout...

    Going to 10Gbe+

    I just wanted to chime in and say that I was completely unaware that IB even existed before coming here, but was able to get IBoIP running on ESXi 5.1 pretty easily. Getting it to work on other machines without a switch/subnet manager was more complex and I still need to figure out how to get...

    Dell C6100 XS23-TY3 2U 4-Node (8 CPU) Cloud Server

    I don't believe that changing the setting bricks anything, at least not all the time, as I'm running all of my nodes set to static. I suppose I should switch all my statics to DHCP reservations at some point...

    Dell C6100 XS23-TY3 2U 4-Node (8 CPU) Cloud Server

    I would suggest contacting whoever sold you the machine. I would think that a board with a bad component would be covered under a short term guarantee.

    Dell C6100 XS23-TY3 2U 4-Node (8 CPU) Cloud Server

    I had this on one node. I was unable to configure IPMI on it, as the node would lock up after trying to change settings; so you may want to see if you can apply IPMI changes. Shortly after, the node started rebooting randomly. It was suggested to try to update the firmware, as I was a...

    Dell C6100, Hadoop, Infiniband - A New project log.

    RimBlock, Have you gotten your Infiniband/ZFS squared away on CentOS? If so, do you have a writeup? I'm attempting to get them running as well, but there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there and I keep hitting roadblocks. I, too, am running a C6100 with the mezzanine IB...

    Infiniband ESXi Storage Node

    Update: If I remove all of the pass-through disks in the Areca utility and then recreate them, ESXi seems to be able to pick up only the first disk I set as pass-through. It doesn't matter which disk it is, it just recognizes the first one I configure and neither of the other two. I also...

    Infiniband ESXi Storage Node

    I am attempting to rebuild (again) a storage node for my C6100 and have a couple of questions. Here is my proposed setup: 6 disks on onboard sata 6 disks on Areca ARC-1222 Mellanox dual port QDR Infiniband Daughter Card - JR3P1 directly connected to two other nodes with the same hardware...

    IB Question

    dba, do you have a link to a resource that would give more information about this? I don't have a switch, so I am hoping to be able to direct-connect two ESXi 5.1 hosts to a NAS4Free node and I'm not sure where I can run the subnet manager(s). I am hopeful that I can run opensm on the NAS4Free...
