I can’t say for sure- but, there is a good chance I might have a problem.
The main picture attached to this post, is a pair of dual bifurcation cards, each with a pair of Samsung PM963 1T enterprise NVMes.
It is going into my r730XD. Which… is getting pretty full. This will fill up the last empty PCIe slots.
But, knock on wood, My r730XD supports bifurcation! LOTS of Bifurcation.
As a result, it now has more HDDs, and NVMes then I can count.
What’s the problem you ask? Well. That is just one of the many servers I have laying around here, all completely filled with NVMe and SATA SSDs…
Figured I would share. Seeing a bunch of SSDs is always a pretty sight.
And- as of two hours ago, my particular lemmy instance was migrated to these new NVMes completely transparently too.
What software are you running on all of this?
From https://lemmyonline.com/comment/768355
A bit of everything. Publicly facing websites. Lemmyonline.com. A few popular discord bots.
Linux ISO collection and streaming.
Lots of automation.
Lots of things around software development. Lots of things around systems and network administration.
Some kubernetes too.
A bit of everything, and nothing in particular.
What management interface is that though and is it part of the OS? What OS are you using anyway?
The first screenshot is of Dells built in system tools for servers. Being a Dell server he should have Dell’s iDRAC, which is a lights out management module. It is really fantastic.
The bottom screenshot, is from proxmox, which is the top-level OS in play.
Ah okay. Maybe I should try that at some point. It’s been years since I used it last.
I honestly just started using it again a week or two ago. I have been extremely pleased with the features it offers.
