IBM Bladecenter H - is Seeking New Challenges - 1108

[@gonace]

I sold most of my servers a few years ago, just rocking a 19" wall-mounted (vertically) custom NAS and a HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus running pfSense :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

I really do not need three Blade Centers,,so :-) I am keeping one.

[@Warrigt]

@ 4:47 GASP!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Yarh,, don't drop it :-)

[@artursmihelsons415]

It's not anymore WEB server - You clean all webs.. 😂👍

[@MyPlayHouse]

Always a good joke :-)

[@woxit6107]

Thanks for your time and effort.

[@MyPlayHouse]

My pleasure!

[@ScottDowneywoundedbear]

Buying stuff is easy but to get rid of the old is never easy. I have tons of stuff I should get rid of but really don't want to. The girlfriend keeps telling me if you are not using it you don't need it.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Yes,,she says that until you point at all her shoes or dresses :-)

[@LumaControl]

I'd love to have one of these as a K8S cluster or something but my mother would explode if she saw the power bill XD

[@MyPlayHouse]

That is how moms work!! I do not have a solution for that..

[@weazeldark3983]

Wats the psu pinout for the jumper matrix and led fault code Wats the plug type call it Getting into these types of psu

[@MyPlayHouse]

Sorry I do not know..

[@weazeldark3983]

Algud Thanks for your vids keep it up

[@nwuk1983]

Tempted to get a Morten after seeing the good cleaning performance, I’ve no use for a bladecentre tho :(

[@MyPlayHouse]

I enjoy cleaning some stuff,, and now other stuff..

[@Almrond]

It is tempting, but a current 2U can match all but drives. Well, no, 24 drives on a 2U is doable, just a pain. Less of a pain than managing blades.

[@leonardotoschi585]

15:35 yes but can i give one port to the blade? Or is just the network switch you can but separately

[@MyPlayHouse]

If you get a passthrough network module,, you can.

[@philsbbs]

19:10 I know the feeling I live in a flat and I have to get rid of stuff all the time due to lack of space.. when I get rid of something they money goes to the next thing like 120gb sdd get replaced with 240gb... old 6tb drives get replaced with 8tb..

[@MyPlayHouse]

Yes we update a little bit all the time.

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

Turn that thing on and watch the lights dim :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

It uses less than a vacuum cleaner,, but the sound is about the same :-)

[@philsbbs]

When I sell something on ebay I most times add a lead or adapter or something else like a pen etc as a free gift.

[@MyPlayHouse]

I put a little note in the packets :-)

[@Stefan-nn9zo]

Wow i have learned so much from you in the past few years ,Please can you make a video on how to use ESXI server & a thin client ( PXE boot over Ethernet )( with no HDD or usb on client end )

[@MyPlayHouse]

I have never tried that :-/

[@mathematiquesinformatique1423]

merci

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Mathématiques informatique Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@jmonsted]

We had six of those bladecenters, but it was very quickly decided that there'd have to be better options. We then bought a couple hundred HP C7000s instead. My biggest WTF with these was when we lost a phase across all of our subpanels and these bladecenters all lost their fans and switches. Apparently, phase 1 powers the first seven blades, phase 2 powers the other seven and phase 3 powers the plumbing.

[@MyPlayHouse]

I have not run in to that problem,, we also had 12 IBM bladecenter H divided in three data centers,, we have never had a Center with any unscatualed down time. We have had many disk and ram issues, but never the center.

[@sir_anders]

Are the Brocade really a 10 Gigabit switch? Im sure it is but looks a whole lot like a Fiber Channel switch :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Brocade Converged 10GbE Switch Module - lenovopress.com/tips0789

[@HomelabExtreme]

Brocade also had their ICX series of ethernet switches, which they sold to Ruckus, i'm pretty sure this is based on those.

[@victorshane4134]

I sold my servers too, i only have one dl380 Gen9 as all in one with all the 4 ds4246 enclosures. I dont need more :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Ahh you need a little more :-)

[@whatevah666]

Is this monster 8U ? Does it have/come with rails ?

[@MyPlayHouse]

It is 9U,, I have not included rails with it.

[@kacper9207]

Super ✋

[@MyPlayHouse]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@8ballfpv]

Shipping to australia? :D I also have the habit of not letting anything go because one day, you never know.. Also finding well priced stuff here is hard, everything is over priced, very frustrating!

[@MyPlayHouse]

No,, but come pick it up :-)

[@Gemini5AU]

Yes totally agree. I bought 2 C7000 a couple of years ago. Still have them. But just for the sake of having one, I've been trying to get hold of a Supermicro they're pretty rare in Oz. Consequently, pretty expensive. Particularly if I'm not going to use as a 24hr machine I can't justify spending $1,200+ on one.

[@henrikhultberg9739]

Hej Morten Power 2xEL-kabel blue 230v to 2x 16A + 1x 10A Cool Power

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Henrik Hultberg Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@JohnnieHougaardNielsen]

You need a bigger server room!

[@MyPlayHouse]

There was not room in my little DC,, so it has been sitting in the garage.

[@matthewlandon1697]

Oh god that’s dusty

[@MyPlayHouse]

It's be came nice again :-)

[@matthewlandon1697]
