HP ProLiant MicroServer

[warchylde]

I am presently running esxi 4.1 with a few vm's.

I am hoping to scrap it all and start over from scratch.

I would like to have a nas/storage server os running in VM but using direct passthrought of the connected sata hdd's.

Does anyone know if this is possible or any links to how to succesfully implement this.

You see, I am connecting my datastore hdd to the odd internal sata. And the other sata drives, that i want available via the passthrough will be comnected to the onboard sas port.

The disk passthrough doesn't work. I tried everything but apparently it's an issue with the CPU - has to be intel for the passthrougth to work.

Can you get XP drivers for this?

(and yes i know XP is not an ideal OS, but thats what the client have!)

Damn, that's expensive.

From Matrix Warehouse near TygerValley in CT. It's actually R129.

Just picked one up, thanks for the heads up, much appreciated!

Looking for RAM, have seen that low profile is required, or will anything without heatsinks etc work?

Close up of this shows it's a little tall: http://www.comx.co.za/SP002GBLTU133...emory-Information-Price-Buy-Cheap-p-44821.php

Will this fit? Can get some for R120. That plus stock gives 3GB, which suites me for a fileserver

I think anything without a heatsink will fit. The Kingston ram i got is slightly bigger than the ram that came with the server but it still fit.

2 X 2GB,1333

Instead of paying R150 for 2gb, why not rather buy 4gb for R217?

Just get 2x 4Gb's once...Max the server can handle. then you don't have to worry again.

going to buy everything from Esquire today, will be running a 32bit OS, but 1 X4GB dimm might be a good idea.

Should i stick to Ecc or none Ecc?

non-ecc.

 

[reactor_sa]

Im running ecc. Not sure if it actually makes much difference. As for the speed, does it actually run at 1333??

I'm selling one of these, ram upgraded to 8gb, plus a 4gb USB. Perfect condition. R1400.

PM me if interested.

I am trying to install XP with Raid one...but XP can't see the drives (i was afraid it will happen :-( )
does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for the link.
Can you run it using Raid 1?
From link "The only things I must point out is that you need to set the onboard SATA controller to "IDE" in the BIOS"

 

[bar1]

I created a new , bootable XP CD, with the Raid drivers integrated.
Will know tonight if it works

Do you really need that much of ram? I'm running xbmc-standalone in ubuntu and its only using 500MB or ram.
I currently got 3GB of ram in my server.
