Well i think i did a bad thing. I was doing some configuring in the bios getting ready to deploy one of my supermicro X11SDV-8C-TP8F motherboards and I forgot that these are 80w chips so I did not put a fan on the heatsink. It ran like this for 3-5 minutes when i started to smell something...
Has anyone been able to flash the bios on these datto boards to an asrock bios? I was able to update the ipmi using socflash but instantflash in the bios does not find any file to update to when i try to do the bios update there.
thanks. I probabbly should have thought about that but didnt think past the file extenstion. When trying to flash the file though i'm now getting an error that says "firmware update failed due to a failure in device interaction". I've tried checking the exact syntax for the flash commands but...
I've got a corrupt firmware on my 960GB PM863a, wondering if anyone has the firmware file for that drive. Also wondering if its possible to dump the firmware from a good drive as I do have a good PM863a but I dont see any options in the samsung DC toolkit to save firmware.
Also Ive gone though...
Dont do it. dont turn a pc into a switch. its not worth it. performance is terrible. reliability is terrible. Just look through the forums here and buy a brocade icx 7250 or icx 6610 if you dont need it to be too quiet and can stand some noise. ICX6610 can be had for like 150$ on ebay.
I know for a fact that these drives are bootable. But also sequential write of 145MB hurts, not that you buy these for sequential write. We used these as boot devices for maybe 2 years but they were generally not worth it.
highly interested in this thread. Love pfsense, love my brocade 7250 and 6610. I know that from a performance point of view having the switch do all the inter-vlan routing is the way to go but my networking is not that strong and managing it all from pfsense is much easier, plus nice to have...
well the last thing you want is a media converter hanging off the wall in your living room just to plug in a roku. Not exactly kid friendly, animal safe, or wife approved or cost effective.
In the end I did not run any conduit but once I move into the house I will. There is a section of the basement that is acessible and sits right below a 2ft by 4ft sealed off dry walled space on the main floor and has some other plumbing and utility lines and then just above that space is attic...
Thought I'd give an update on what I ended up doing in the end. The home build is nearing completion but I had about 2 weeks in early june to get wiring done.
From all over the house I ran cables to a single point in the basement. Its there that I will install a wall mounted rack cabinet next...
I think I'm confused on some of the bandwidth math here and port connections. 2x 24 port expanders. all connections 12Gbit Sas. 3 SAS12Gbit per expander, so 6 total. Put another way 1x 12Gbit connection per 8x drive bay. Meaning 1500MB of bandwidth per every 8 drives (if optimially configured)...
