This is sort of a follow-up to my previous post, asking about migrating ZFS pools to a new machine. Migration went smoothly and the new machine is quite the nice upgrade, if I may say so myself I went from:
A hacked together custom build
AMD FX-8320E 8c/8t @3.20 GHz 16GB ram
To a used HP ProLient dl380e gen8
2x Xeon E5-2450 16c/32t @2.10 GHz 64GB ram
Not mentioning storage, as I haven’t changed that, still using a
5x 2TB RAIDz1 HDD pool
Huge thanks to anyone who replied to my old post :)
The ProLient has been quite the fun experience, got it for real cheap and it’s been pretty great. Took me a while to figure out how to get the thing booting, iLO4 is not as horrible as I expected and it is kinda loud, but pretty great other than that.
Imo iLO5 is a big improvement over iLO4.
Also you can download an iLO remote client to not be required to login to the web ui.iLO remote client? what’s that?
Little application to avoid the login to the web-ui.
Link to download the standalone client: https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?language=en_US&collectionId=MTX-dc6da387790e42beUpside: You won’t get thrown out of your remote session while having an ISO mounted.
Upside 2: You avoid having to use Edge, to enable IE legacy mode to being able to use the .NET console.
