    HP ProLiant DL380 iLO4 NAND Flash

    I am new to the forums so forgive me if I have misplaced this thread. I recently had a "FREE" DL380 fall into my hands that had been in some less than ideal operating conditions. I figured it couldn't be too difficult to repair and I was mostly correct. I was able to clean up the system board...

    HPE custom ESX 7 gen8 sl230

    Anyone know of a custom image for the gen8, sl230s blades? I was able to get up to 6.7 but cannot find an update path to 7. On the HP site, it is mentioned that 6.7 is not supported but obviously, that doesn't mean it won't run so maybe someone here knows of a version that will. Thanks.

    Formatting Hitachi 600GB SAS drives

    Hi, I recently got myself a few of used Hitachi HUC106060CSS600 drives for my home laboratory. The problem is that they come from Netapp server and probably are formatted differently. My main server, HP DL380 G6 with P410i doesn't even try and just spits out orange light, Fujisu Primergy RX300...

    Hi, now that the HP MSM series is totally EoL there's no official way to acquire a premium license even if I wanted to. Is there an alternative way to still unlock the features requiring a special license?

    HP 656089-001 using QSFP+ breakout cable with x4 SFP+ to HP NC523SFP cards?

    Hi all! I'm attempting to use these apparently coveted (and cheap) HP/Mellanox cards for a switchless, high-speed homelab configuration. I thought I knew what I was getting myself into when I ordered everything... however, I'm just now realizing after purchasing the equipment that it may not...

    HP DL380 Does Nothing After Post

    Hell everyone, I went to upgrade my DL380p from Ubuntu 19.04lts to 20.04lts. Once I needed to reboot, the server came back up and I watched it through the remote console, it hit 100% on the initial screen then just went blank. I saw the post codes on the bottom of the console and post did...

    HPE Smart Array idles at 65C

    Is this like normal or is this HBA not operating as it should? This machine is completely idle right now. I suspect this isn't normal. But this is my first experience with HPE anything, and also my first 1U, so I have no basis for comparison.

    Updating firmware for HPE-rebranded Seagate XF1440 without a Linux Live CD

    I have a HPE-rebranded Seagate XF1440 NVMe drive with model number VK001920KWDUH. Its preinstalled firmware is HPK2. I can find HPK4 on HPE site, but they only provide a Linux-based updater for this version. I don't want to burn a Linux Live CD for doing this, so I tried to extract and replace...

    Good source for quiet replacement fans for enterprise network switches?

    Hey, so I have purchased a few old enterprise switches, they have a great feature to price ratio and can be had for next to nothing. Unfortunately they are to loud for most people to be used in office settings where the switch is in the same room as workstations, etc. I have a D-Link DGS-3427...

    HPE Procurve gear still worth it for a home lab?

    I have a home lab and work lab and use HP Procurves (2810 and 2530 mainly). Since HP's policies of paid firmware updates, splitting HPE and HP and their apparent decline in support service what vendor are most of you here using for your home labs?

    FS: HP Moonshot M710 Server Cartridges

    I recently stubbed my toe on an HP Moonshot that one of my colleagues thought would make an excellent door-stop (crazy, right?), so I opened it up. Now I'll admit, it's an EXCELLENT door-stop, but we sent most of it for scrap soon after my vehement cursing ended. Here's what I pulled from the...
