You helped correct some missunderstandings I had about how to do bonding, and I was able to correct my configuration as a result. Thank you for the clear and easy to understand explainations <3

I'd be interested to see the differences between the modes if you were using a layer 3 protocol built for multiple paths (sctp). Iperf supports it, but there's a bit of extra overhead to account for too.

would mention id definitely not install this card permanently on a riser like yours, these LSI cards run EXTREMELY hot, worth either attaching a fan directly to it or position it better so that your airflow will properly pass that heatsink.... @HomeSysAdmin

Hi There, I have 2 dell r720 running pve 8.2.4, connected by 2 1gig links to a cisco 3750 switch. I can get one pve to connect to the switch using lacp for the bond0. the other pve won't connect. same configuration for both bond0s. If you want more info let me know thx

If you are using pfsense, still do you need a core switch to route vlans?

@HomeSysAdmin 2 ай бұрын

No. Pfsense is a router, thus it will route between vlans; however, a switch is designed specifically for switching and will be significantly more efficient at it. The 2920 I'm using here has a 176Gbps switching capacity whereas Pfsense is pretty much limited by the CPU or the network link (10Gbps in my case).

I don't know what you're talking about. It's a homelab. The equipment is cheap and the classification of power consumption is entirely subjective. 1500W is NOT a lot of power to me. At $0.11 per kWh, it's very cheap not to mention it's offset further by solar. So no, I am not lying...

First of all it took me years to track down a 4 post rack for a good deal. This area is the same for pricing. I also was going for a full blown HP rack with doors and such. Until I measured and realized how big it was. Anyway then I had a good chuckle about the fiber isp and the 2.5gb port. As you know those started showing up on motherboards. I'm thinking that is crazy as the fiber ISP in this area. Anyway then you pointed out it i on your rack. At least this one is not that bad. But, I do have stories.

Those transfer switches are sweet. I believe modern computer power supplies are rated for something like 30ms drop in supply without losing rail voltages, so I suspect it’s probably OK? When I get solar I’ll probably be switching mine a couple of times a week at least. It has a web interface so probably pretty easy to switch it with a web request. Nice setup, looks sweet. Warms the floorboards of the house?

@HomeSysAdmin 2 ай бұрын

They are nice indeed! These do have a web interface as well. It's very old, this particular model was actually discontinued a year or two ago, but it still works and is very easy to send any requests to via cURL. Switching could be automated very easily. And yes, it is quite warm down there during the summer. I'm approaching the thermal limits of the basement really before I need to consider installing air conditioning, which I really don't want to do. I think last year it topped out around 81-82F. My heat pump water heater is about 30ft away so it happily consumes a chunk of the heat :)

@dudeh9702 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the updated tour! I'd definitely be interested in a little solar tour and how you set up any transfer switches or battery banks (if applicable). I'm getting into off-grid/grid-tied solar stuff. That's a great idea to look for "used"/new full size racks. New racks are $1000-4000 or so and that's a bit steep for homelab lol
