    Whats the new C6100 alternative these days?

    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...

    ScaleIO Hyperconverged Cluster Build

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X?

    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...

    Ubiquity EdgeRouter X?

    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?).

    Dell C6100 - anyone brick a board yet?

    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.

    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...

    postcode Dell C6100

    Thanks, but I found someone in the US that had the boards with the sleds for $110 and free shipping. Not great, but not horrible. Sure hope this resolves it. I dint test the CPUs like I should have though, but I have two I can pull from if I have to.

    Grr, I think one of mine died as well. Turns on through the power button, but thst button never lights up and no display. Can't ping ipmi, but not 100% sure I have the right ip. Sad as I was just going to take this system to my colo this weekend. :(

    Can someone tell me the dimm slot ordering? I have two of these systems and im finding that some of the ram is bad. Used dmidecode to show which dimms are not showing, but not sure how those numbers related to the physical dimm slots.

    Quanta LB4M 48-Port Gigabit Switch Discussion

    So did that stacking actually work? I wonder if that would work on my LB4's and not just the LB4M's. They both are running the same OS as far as i can tell.
