Test subject is a Supermicro H11SSL-NC board with an EPYC 7402P processor. LSI SAS3008 controller, and an OEM Intel/Lenovo/HP 12G SAS expander (I've tried all three) which is the Adaptec AEC-82885T under the hood. The HBA is plugged into G and H as per the Intel datasheet, I have A-D going to...

As tittle says, for which NIC should I search ebay? I need something that will work with OpnSense, Proxmox and TrueNas core. On the other end I have HORACO 2.5GbE Managed Switch 8 x 2.5G + 1 x 10G SFP+ and mikrotik CRS 310. So it needs to work with either and ideally with both. But this...

So I just got a 2001:1234:2000:200::/56 network from my ISP and is trying to get it to work. Most thing seems to work as they should. But for some reason it feels like my *internal server* is behind a NAT. There is internet access, but is unreachable from other ipv6 instances on the internet. I...

The company I work for has been using RHEVM for several years, but it has gone end-of-life. I've spent the past 4 weeks trying to get OpenShift Virtualization installed without success. Red Hat is now saying that OpenShift in a disconnected environment is not geared for a small IT shop like we...

I picked up a pair of Dell-branded Mellanox ConnectX-5 MCX512F-ACAT dual-SFP28 NICs on eBay and have been trying out different combinations of transceivers I have on hand. I'm using Linux 6.10 (mlx5_core kernel module) and systemd-nspawn to claim one of the ports so that I can run, e.g., iperf...

You bought a cheap off-roadmap Intel Xeon CPU from somewhere, but the hardware crashes and reboots, even when idle. You realize the CPU might have gotten thrown out from the hyperscaler's datacenter for a reason. That reason? Luckily, your CPU has extensive diagnostics and your Linux...

Hi, I bought an M720q with a Pentium Gold and upgraded it with a Core i7 8700 (65W). Everything runs smoothly under Windows the CPU briefly pulls up to 45W and then settles down to 35-37W, with temperatures averaging at 75°C / peaking at 80°C under full load. This is exactly what I expected...

Let's start by saying that if I'm in the wrong forum please let me know so I can ask this question in the right place. This is the first time building a home server and I would like it to be a file server, plex, and home assistant machine. Is there an OS that would best be suited for this...

Hi, So I have been looking at how much lanes each of my pcie cards were using and saw something I am not sure about. I have 3 cards in my server. 1 Quadro P400 , a LSI 9201-8i and a Realtek 2.5gb/s nic with 2 ports. My cpu is a Ryzen 5 2600 which has 20 pcie lanes. My worries is that when...
