So single disk with XFS and then GLUSTERFS over those 3?

Hi, I got two HP DL380 G7 with 2 x X5675 @ 3,07 GHZ (6 Core + HT = 24 Threads), 8 x 900GB SAS HDDs and 128 GB RAM each. Is there an easy way to reduce my power footprint? Resell the RAM-Sticks and buy another server - reusing the disks? Those servers require 170 Watt each - for 24/7 it's way...

What's about Log-Entries of the system (secure-Log / Login-Logs / syslog...). Beside that the sshd_config could be helpful (sshd -T on newer Linux-Systems). Regards Markus

Probably a distributed Storage in combination with a capable Hypervisor is suitable for this case. Gluster + X Ceph + X Regarding PostgreSQL you probably want to jump into Replication with Pacemaker or the project Patroni (Zalando). Regards Markus

I should (and could). Right now I am just "using" it and have the defauls configured. Right now 9% of 11 GB filesystem is used. Didn't have the need (or time) to dig deeper. I just just the adblock plugin (pfBlockernNG) and about 40 rules. Regards Markus

I got the Bundle with 4GB RAM and mSATA SSD (16GB) and power supply. Its quite handy and pfsense 2.5 should be supported (AES-NI...) If you haven't found anything until mid September - just send me a PM (will move during September) Regards Markus

What's about an APU2c4 for pfsense? I will switch over to USG Unifi in September (after my move). Probably too late for you, but if you are interested... Regards Markus

Not really ontopic but the last Windows-Update (1803??) changed the setting to "ON" again. Had this issue with some Intel NUCs I need to power on by WOL - After the update this was not possible anymore (because of the overridden setting...) WTF Microsoft is overwriting my chosen settings...

I want to keep HA on node-level, so for home use a single PSU should be enough. Regarding the SSDs - you are right, but it's hard to get good SSDs in Germany (or I have no ebay-Luck :())

Any tips for me? Wrong section? Ideas for cheaper way to achieve HA? Regards Markus

Hi guys, I am building a new House and for all of the automation- /media stuff I want (and "need") a suitable HA-solution. Means: At the end of the day there should be a high available virtualization solution (oVirt / ProxMox under testing atm). I already have a quite OK selfbuilt server...

Good to know. Moving into new house and could use the tech-budget for upgrading my servers... - So initial invest can be higher than the running costs...

Ask myself If waiting for xeon d 2xxx has more sense than buying (relative) cheap xeon d 15xy?

I think the oracle guys want to backup by using RMAN. Probably I will suggest to fire up sevaral test dbs an simulate the real behavior...

This appliance will be used for the first backup tier. It will be replicated to another location and also be backuped to SAN.

Hello guys, got a ZFS Storage Appliance from Oracle here combined with an Exadata (Quarter-Rack). They are connected with 40 Gbit/s Infiniband and I can test what you want :) Any ideas? Any hints how to test throughput? Won't expect too much as this appliance just have 24 spinners and RAM...

Just use plain CAT-7 cable for the walls and CAT6A for patch panels and sockets - 10Gbit/s right now - 25/40GBase-T for the future... If you have a server room / office you can prepare a direct fiber connection for cheap server<->storage-Connection. I am building a house right now and just do...

Probably x2go is another way to go. Beside this a friend of mine is using the already mentioned Guacamole sucessfully. Personally I use a combination of Putty and the cntlm-Proxy (because the cooperate proxy just allows NTLM-Authentication which Putty is not available in Putty). So the chain is...

Beside technical stuff, keep the commercial stuff in mind. If you are using an Oracle DB you probably don't want to mess around with the licence-model in combination with VMWare... Regards Markus

I got a virtual pfSense-Appliance for some time in a 3 node-Cluster. So some suggestions: - you probably want to use CEPH with a small amout of your HDDs because of live-migration - Keep in mind that beside live migration for host-upgrade use pfSense Clustering for pfSense reboots - So you...
