ATLAS My Virtualized unRAID server

<< < (140/237) > >>

MadsRC:
I'm currently creating a VM server based on this setup in your original post Johnm.

I'm a bit confused though...

You say that with the Intel RES2SV240 and IBM M1015 you only uses one PCIe-8 port, but as far as I can see they would also need a PCIe-4 port?
Also, you say that with the above setup, you would recieve full mechanical speed on up to 24 drives. Would using more drives (if it was possible through unraid, the combo does allow you to attach up to 32 drives...) create a bottleneck?

With the combo, you attach 8 drives to the IMB card (on the PCIe-8 bus) and then attach the 16 cards to the Intel card (on the PCIe-4 bus) right?

I guess I'd have to pass through the 2 cards, and then use the slots on the motherboard for datastores for ESXi right?

Hi
Have anyone tried Kingston KVR13E9/8HM 8GB modules on the X9SCM yet? If they work, the price seems to come down to reasonable levels.

hi Johnm,

can you explain the first fan you bought? for what, and which model?

--- Quote ---Optional Bits:
Fans:
3x120mm Fan bracket ($20ish shipped)
3x "pressure optimized" Noctua NF-P12-1300 120mm fans I picked up for $15 each plus $5 shipping for all 3.
2x ARCTIC COOLING ACF8 Pro Pro PWM 80mm Case Fans back on the rear.

--- End quote ---

i assume the Noctua NF-P12-1300 120mm fans are for the fan plate inside the chassis, and the arctic for the rear of the chassis.

Hi,

Great tutorial BTW! Myself and a friend followed your explanations and all went pretty well.

We are looking to get a Controller Card and were very interrested with Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 as it support SATA3. Unfortunately we cannot find a good answer if it is working or not in ESXi 5 and unRAID 5b13 or later.

We are also thinking about the IBM M1015 but we can have the Supermicro cheaper than the IBM, and we are not so confident with flashing for IT-mode.

Is the Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 compatible with ESXi 5 and unRAID 5b13+ ??

Thanks!


EDIT : We ended buying an IBM ServeRAID M1015 off eBay... Can't wait to have it installed! Thanks!
