Hi!
i'ts so awesome your idea to change the systems. I want ask you question, with your SC200 connect to SC8000 with Freenas, is that connected?
I have SC400 with SC5020 connect with mini-sas-HD to but the SC5020 Truenas can't detect that SC400.
Is that any solution with that? Thank you
Hey awesome cable management once again Gnet! i was wondering what type of internet speed you had connected to your home for your data center?
Hey man thanks! :) and i have Comcast business coming in to my rack at home! but i as well moved lots of my servers to a real datacenter starting a VPS and hosting service :) there we have 2 - 1Gbps pipes!
oh my gosh that awesome! how do i go about applying for a space in your servers? i really like the fact that you are running things yourself and i like the way you do things, therefore id like to support your company with, an email server, a game server, and a FTP. if this is available of course!
thanks
It sure is! and thank you and we are putting everything together and once we have our control panels installed and everything set i will make a video about our hosting company! :) Stay Tuned! oh we will be much more affordable than any other companies out there from a geek to a geek :P
hahaha yes awesome! thank you very much
Is this still worth doing if I can get the servers reasonably priced?
How do I get in touch
How many drives can Freenas handle maximum ?
+myozone I can connect with my HBA LSI up to 512 devices
That is one thing that pisses me off about companies when they say they can't do anything about it they absolutely can do something about it they just won't and when people tell me that I correct them you could do something about it but there's a policy or something in a company that won't allow you to so please don't say you can't do something about it when you can you just won't
So the big question is how much did you pay for this system? I just bought an IBM DS3524 SAN loaded with 12 x 300GB 10K RPM SAS drives, room for 12 more 2.5" drives for $300. I found a company online selling the iSCSI cards for $146 each, so I bought two. These prices are in CAD.
I paid like 600 for the Server and the SC200 with caddies so really cheap price and next im going to get 2TB SAS drives and couple more Samsung SSDs or some other SSDs maybe some enterprise for caching
You might want to look at using the Samsung EVO Pro drives for caching. I was talking to a friend who's company tested a bunch of SSD's on their SAN's and found the EVO Pro drive were the only ones that were able to keep operating at their sustained throughput while others tanked. Even the non Pro drives.
+dhowser2008 oh good to know yeah I'll be doing some testing and this as well will be same setup for our Colo hosting business my friend and I are starting :) I'll look and see where I can get a hold of those drives
I just ended up with one of these randomly, can you install windows to this machine? windows server?
Yes, but you need a few cables to get SATA Data & SATA Power and you would likely need to install from USB.
when you say production, what are you using it for?
+Jeff Bayley Personal Sites and internal Servers. Most critical servers are at my Colocation Datacenter along with our Hosting company we are starting up!:)
#JustBoughtOne :) lol thanks to you!!! lol
I just got it and it failed to initialize idrac :(...... Its impossible to find firmware to update the iDrac to kick it in the pants to get it working. The server works but its a pain in the ass. Runs fans 100%. and lifecycle is disabled :(
Hello : i follow your idea by buying the R510, now you are selling it :), so is it bad idea to use the R510 as SAN storage ????.
+Iceberry Morocco its not bad just wanting more expansion room and easy way of attaching more drives ;)
+GNET Data Center you reassure me :). Tell me how can I connect more that 2 server to the r510?. Is it by switch fcoe?
+Iceberry Morocco you need DAS or SAN Arrays not servers, 1 Server as controller and rest is all DAS or SAN Arrays daisy chained
