"Low internal disks" is kind of an understatement, don't you think?

alo posted:I realize this is tongue in cheek but... nagios shouldn't do this unless you've changed a bunch of check intervals. Once a host is marked down and a notification goes out, no more service notifications should be sent (until the host recovers). Also, if a service is detected as down, nagios will immediately re-run a host check. Not if you set it up wrong and don't make the services dependent on the host...

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Rosewill RNG-407-Dual PCI-Express Dual Port Gigabit ... Only dual port NIC I could find that didn't cost a significant portion of the build... This card uses a Marvell Yukon chipset, and will most likely NOT work with ESXi unless you want to do a bunch of ISO hacking to insert your own drivers. The other Rosewill dual gigabit card uses a Realtek RTL8111 chipset. Same story. Apparently a ton of old Intel hardware is also depricated too. Here's the list of depricated hardware: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2056935 CrazyLittle fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Nov 28, 2013 |

The 82571GB chipset is not on the HCL for 5.5 If you want a dual port gigabit nic, go find a Intel Gigabit ET Dual Port NIC. They're on eBay for ~$50-100 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=intel+gigabit+et&_sop=15 CrazyLittle fucked around with this message at 21:14 on Nov 28, 2013 |

Yeah, just avoid getting the lovely knockoff chinese copies and you're fine. Prolific got tired of the knockoff chips and just obsoleted them.

In a lab, more physical cores is more useful than faster cores but fewer of them.

Dilbert As gently caress posted:IN some shuttle builds or cases all you have is 1 or 2 PCI slots; If you buy the 4port nics from ebay and go with broadcom you usually don't pay that much more http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-BROADC...=item338b5aeabc Yeah, but the intel 4-port gigabit card (EXPI9404PT) is $80... so why not just get that one instead? http://www.ebay.com/itm/291085798202

Manos posted:Be careful with that card, as I have just come to find out, it has issues with PCIe 2.0/3.0 slots. As in it doesn't work in them type of issue: http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/sb/CS-030873.htm I'll have to give it a try. I just threw together an AMD whitebox based on homeserverblog / dilbert's suggestions, and I have a few of those cards laying around from other projects. ZetsurinPower posted:any downside to using 2x dual ethernet NICs (aside from suing two slots)? If they file a countersuit it could be wrapped up in court filings for decades. (no downside)

Thirded. HT won't help VM virtualization much, and if anything it could cause real CPU contention issues if you try to count the HT "cores" as real CPUs.

Dilbert As gently caress posted:If you take the drives and RAID controller away this becomes a cheaper option, you'll also get more cores* Yo Dilbert - I built pretty much this exact same build. Where can I find instructions on nesting ESXi?
