In my DC rack, I have 6x SMicro SYS-2029BT-HNR (4 node 2U servers) & a few other SM servers.
These 6 servers alone will consume 48 ports of IPMI switching, which means I need at least 2 switches to take care of all my IPMI needs.
What is everyone else doing?
Is there a better way to "solve"...
Does anyone have a simple. "watered down", easy to use, easy to digest setup guide?
I find the docs to be a lil cumbersome & the UI isn't very intuitive.
ESXi v8 (running 2 vms), one of the vm's is the firewall.
This is an edge device in a medical xray trailer.
The trailer's generator gets powered on in the morning & turned off at night.
Any good idea's on how I deal with daily ESXi shutdown & power-on?
This box is getting setup at a temp location with a different IP scheme than it's final destination.
How do you deal with a changed IP address for the NFS share (in napp-it AiO)?
Ceacent NVMe Controller SSD Riser
or
Linkreal 8 Port U.2 to PCIe x16 SFF-8643 NVMe SSD Adapter
Anyone have any experience with either one of these cards?
Do they perform the same?
Is one better than the other?
For those of you with servers in a co-lo or a sizeable homelab:
How do you manage access to all the hardware?
Is there some "fancy" private cloud software? (single pane of glass)
VPN/RDP?
Looking for some ideas!
I have a 36 drive chassis - https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/chassis/4U/SC847.pdf
Use case #1: store vm backup's
use case #2: send backups to cloud (e.g. Wasabi etc)
Looking for an o/s recommendation.
- o/s or app must have a gui so I can manage the backup's ingested.
- o/s or app must have...
Say you have a single SMicro host (single node) with LSI 9300 + 8x SSds. (ESXi is installed on a separate disk).
How do you "pool" the storage to make a large datastore?

Looking for a mini-ITX chassis with 4 front load NVMe?

Does it exist?
At the co-lo, I currently have 100Mbps with 250Mbps burst & I'm looking to upgrade.
I can go with the "blended" service, 250Mbps with 1Gbps burst or what other options might I have?
