It is an excellent job, thanks for your video, I am restructuring, could you help me with VCF

I thought you couldn't obtain subscriptions for PA end of sale, especially for secondary market purchases. I'd love to know a way around this if you'd be willing to share.

I have a question. How many UPS are there? How many watts of your UPS?

I have doubts. I have Vmware Enterprise Plus paid license with Dell R730xd server. The expiration date says never. I don't want this Broadcam. It is very expensive. One question, is it not necessary to buy VCF or VVF? o Should I keep this current license without renewing? I don't want to affect.

Which model is this heat sinks amd air shroud? I really like them and it differs from others in r750

Do you plan to continue with the subscription life or move to another platform - XCP-NG, Proxmox, Openstack..?

What rack band and model?

Love it, reminds me of the early stages of my datacenter. Rockin any enterprise grade internet yet?

Amazing! I'd love to see you go more in depth on everything (VCF, NSX, Palo Alto, the networking)

Absolutely awesome. Great job. I would love to build something just like that.

I’m surprised nobody has asked yet, does the VMware change affect you in any way?

what is you up link ?

Well thats come a long way over the years!

Not super familiar with this type of work, but I have a failed Perc H730P. If I swap it with a new one, is all the data on the RAID disks lost?

Love it!!

Where is Part 3 Man

i would like to know how much you pay for electricity

Most helpful video! Thank you very much.

Nice job . Thank you

Wanted to double check myself and this was perfect. Thanks man.

Do both PSUs need to be matched?

Been a long time since I've seen a video on this channel. Got some catching up to do 😆

Tommy, how do you segment your vDS's between vSAN, iSCSI and data? eg. having 2 vDSs and be selective wich uplinks are used between distributed port groups or do you create a single vDS for each service? Thanks.

How you manage the power backyard, do you have standby generator?

Takes u too long to make video

Of all of the home lab setups i have seen on youtube, this one is truly above simple project play. I love it when I see cisco catalyst switches and dell poweredge servers running esxi! Tells me you know exactly what youre doing rather than those that use ubiquiti or some sdn based gear and proxmox hypervisors.

This is the first video in a while I’ve felt the need to comment….. THANK YOU! I just got a used server in and everything I had questions on you covered in this video

wow boss, quite a rig. I am curious, do you have any clientele that are renting space? I am looking at getting into the business and am interested in leaning the model.

Hi. I’m from Colombia. I’m loving with servers. I have a question. How many watt of UPS rack mount?

Great!

It's a real shame that you can't fit these to the standard R270s, only the xds. I double checked on my R270 (8x3.5" front bays), and while the motherboard connections are the same, there are no connections available to the backplane on the front. Also I think the DVD cable takes up one of the cable slots on the motherboard that you'd use for the rear backplane? Pity, but I guess I could use a PCI riser card for some NVME drives or similar, and have the same effect.

nice video, but better you should make a clear topology before implementing it. For anyone who doesn't keep focus on the video, so hard to completely understand what you do all the video.

Can you do some videos on basic configuration of NSX?

This is the most underrated video on Vsan deployment, I have an interview tomorrow and although I managed Vsphere, I actually never saw the physical connection. It helped me to visualize a lot.

that's exactly what I'm waiting for, the how to videos

So proud of you bro! Love it!

Would love to see how you configured everything from installing esxi, distributed switch, vlans, etc

How much is it cost?

Hey Tommy, I recently bough the Soledad theme since I really liked yours a lot, when I tried to self host the wrdpress it wouldn't upload due to I guess the size of the file. But what do you use to editor yours, seems like everything wants a monthly subscriptions these days?

Is the H730 the stock card in this server, I'm having a battery error and don't want to pull it out the rack just to order a new battery.

I'm really in love with homelab server racks with switches. Wow cool !!!. I'm from Colombian.

Nice servers setup. Cannot wait to see your backup and hypervisor configs.

Great Video, All possible information described and gathered too, Btw how much this setup cost to you and what is the room temperature of your server room. Thanks

I need your help. I have Dell R730XD with dual 750W PSU. What do you recommend how many watts or kva (dual 750W Dell server) for UPS backup rack?

I wish you would actually show up how you configured everything like from start to new in the VM, networking, VLAN, IP and etc. I'm building my homelab environment and I been trying to find ideas and I like your environment but I wish you showed us how you did it.

What is the difference H730 vs H730P?

Just curious what electrical circuits do you run for this rack of yours loaded with all these servers?

Hey, Tommy! Great overview and impressive lab. I recently found your channel and blog and am working on doing similar. I've been revamping my setup and have 2 of those Arista DCS-7050QX-32S-R switches on the way (rear to front fans), as well as a Brocade ICX6450-48P to upgrade from my Ubiquiti 1GbE and 10GbE Edgeswitches. I also got my hands on a Dell MX7000 with 7x MX740c blades, and 2x MX9116n switches for the SmartFabric, all to replace my aging Supermicro 4-node FatTwin. If it wasn't for wanting to strictly run the SmartFabric on the MX9116n switches (losing layer 3 on them), I'd just run those chassis switches as my cores. That said, I have a few questions for you: - How picky are the Arista switches with DACs/Transceivers? I'm going to be using the 2x for redundancy, and was planning on bonding them with a port-channel and LACP, and each server will have a link to each switch. - What exact model Mellanox ConnectX-4 cards did you go with for your R740s? I'm looking to upgrade my dual SFP+ Mellanox ConnectX-3 cards with dual QSFP+ 40Gb cards like what you have. Can all the Infiniband ConnectX-4 cards also do 40Gb ethernet? - Can you go into detail on your cooling setup? My current rack is under my stairs and I'm unable to get the heat under sufficient control. I'm in Middle Tennessee and am moving my lab to the garage, as I have no where else to put a 42U cabinet. I had one out here previously, with no dedicated AC, and dust was unmanagable being in my 'workshop'. I'm planning on isolating and insulating it as best I can without building a full closet in there since it's not our forever home and plan to move in a couple years. - What monitoring solution are you using for your environment? - How many watts are you drawing in total nowadays? If you're not already, the guys on r/homelab and r/homedatacenter would appreciate your videos and blog. Thanks!

Nice video. I didn't realize there were two different types of internal fans. I'm currently using a Dell R520 with 8x 10GB WDs and running TrueNAS. I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade and I've been looking at the R740XD.

My homelab is pretty bare bones compared to yours. I have a home built media server in 20 bay 4U chassis, an R720XD that is dedicated to blue iris, and my 1950X workstation racked in a 4U enclosure. Switching is handled by a used Aruba S2500 with 48 1gig POE+ ports and 4 SFP+ 10 gig ports. My next addition will be a UPS and rack mounting my Sony 7.1 head unit. Eventually I want to get into automation and smart home stuff.
