Auf dieser Seite sehen Sie zuhause echt ausnahmslos die qualitativsten Produkte, die unseren sehr definierten Kriterien standgehalten haben. I’ve tried both the internal and external USB2 ports. I’m selling the HP Microserver (with Xeon processor) on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271475895778&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123. |:-). When I boot the server, the array I’ve created is seen (or the logical drive is), but when ESXi is booted up and ready, and I use vSphere to try to create a datastore, all disks are seen, not the logical drive. 1. Along with that, the fan keeps running at 48%. Web server, mail server, ZFS server, mumble server, etc. Yeah, 3 gbit/sec is the max you will get anyway :-) And the ODD will give you only that, yup. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/servers/solutions.html?compURI=1499005#tab=TAB4. re heat sinks, see http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6170-active-cpu-cooling-for-the-gen8/. I’m surely not pleased with the server being so loud, since dbA is specified to 21. I will end up changing the fan or or insert a resistor if it continues. Probably the main difference between the N40L and Gen8 HP Microserver is the CPU speed. So I’m down to two issues now: Is there any fix available for this? I don’t have to mess with ESXi windows only client either, and I can use the Mac mini’s GUI as an emergency desktop as it has its own screen, whenever I need one (all running on a monster UPS). (and here is how: http://xorl.wordpress.com/2012/08/30/ibm-megaraid-bios-config-utility-raid-10-configuration/). It would be very easy to run a SATA cable from the ODD SATA port on the motherboard up to the ODD bay. Don’t trust the temp reading, it’s buggy and will always stay to 40°C whatever is the CPU real temp. Hi Morten. Thanks, perhaps I wasn’t clear what I wanted to do…. Hi Ben, For the amount of discs you want to use I’d buy a HP P410 controlller or the cheaper M1015 Beim Hp Proliant Microserver Gen8 Xeon Test sollte der Gewinner bei allen Eigenarten gewinnen. Right i’m using a 500gb SSHD plugged into the ODD sata port as my OS disk (i eventually sorted a molex connecotr out :)). For the life of me i cannot find a female floppy to female molex power adaptor anywhere. I just purchased proliant gen8 microserver. Two: SFF8087 to 4x SATA. I recommend Hwinfo utility to measure temperature from CPU sensor and not use ILO sensors which is incorrect. I have 2 machines which I’m trying to consolidate into 1 as I only need it for Studying. Ahh ok, Good to know Thanks Ben. I do suggest getting a model with a fan instead of the one I got. It contained the following paragraph: ———- For one VM only, I want to use all 4 of the front bays, without ESXi managing them, so the VM can access the controller/drive SMART status. MrMoi: Yes you can. Your still welcome to mail me Frank, if needed. Can’t confirm it, but the 410 isn’t combatible according to the data sheet from HP, only the P222. I’m a little confused. Maybe you need to configure raid when in Esxi / vSphere? Entspricht der Hp Microserver Gen8 Xeon der Stufe an Qualität, die Sie in dieser Preisklasse haben möchten? Don’t have the SATA cable either. I have 4x 1TB WD RE drives mounted normally. and a Molex power splitter (unless you can find a floppy power > MINI SATA power adapter, which I can’t): http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000067SLY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Also I’m planning on maybe running NAS4FREE. so does exist any BIOS mod to run that feature? running on the Microserver now that I don’t want to take offline to test it out. If you don’t mind a DIY solution my latest Supermicro build https://b3n.org/supermicro-x10sdv-f-build-datacenter-in-a-box/ has the same form factor as the Gen8 Microserver using Intel’s new Xeon D. It is a pricey build but with 8 physical broadwell cores and up to 64GB 128GB memory it offers a lot of power in one box and very little power consumption. The onboard controller can run in AHCI JBOD mode, and supports at least 5 drives. Don’t guess that I can use the external SAS plug to convert to SATA connectors. Hey, Jeroen, I got the 6450 working which is good but I cant seem to passthrough the sound pci component (6400 hdmi sound). Glad it’s working well for you. Can we sign it off as safe? I’m a little less knowledgeable than some of your guys when it comes to raid and vm, so some of my questions may seem a little…err….out there, lol? Comparison between Gen10 and Gen8 MicroServer. I don’t have great perfomance needs. |:-) If you get that switch can you try out teaming the Network adapters in the Microserver? I havn’t used SBS for several years, so what’s included now? You want unregistered. – 1x Samsung 840 EVO 120GB (In ODD Bay) I have mounted an Akasa k25 cpu-fan to make sure it was cool. OSX is well supported and my DRP is straight forward like with ESXi. Raid 1+0 or 10 is much more secure than raid 5. I am considering a home server that can be used for serving internet accessible wordpress sites, one or two small game servers, and possibly use it for home backup and media streaming as well. Otherwise I can’t think of a reason to get a Microserver over the ML310e (or something else the same size), especially with 32GB support. Also what program are you using to monitor CPU Temperature and resource usage? http://www.overclock.net/products/id-cooling-is-vc45-vapor-chamber-cpu-cooler-low-profile. I’ll take a free Microserver from HP any day! I didn’t measure but based on pictures of the Cablematic VU81 it looks like it would easily fit. If I choose RAID 1+0 and wish to change to RAID 5 at some point, will all data then be wiped? Hi, I believe there is enough room if you can find some way to mount the drives, but you’ll also need to find a way to cable them. However when i try and install WS2012 Hyper-V R2, it can’t find any device to install to and wants the drivers loading. For now I will post her. if you do find that information somewhere let me know as I’m curious. Not quite sure I want to have 12TB array in VMDK’s on a RAID5 just yet :S. I’ve had a P410 in the system, but couldnt get passthrough to work on that either, and also had a disk failure, and because of ILO4 not understanding HP P410′s (no idea why not!) The ATI Radeon 6450 works great and is very cheap :). I could care less about support–I just want to be able to install an OS remotely. Hmm, 4 internal and 4 external as stated by EDBPriser: http://www.edbpriser.dk/i-o-hub-og-kort/hp-smart-array-p222-512-with-fbwc-id-6721241.aspx, 1 internal and 1 external as stated by HP: http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product.aspx?sku=10389147&pagemode=ca. What’s interesting is with no license installed I can still get access to the console for 40 seconds at a time, then it will kick me out with “An iLO Advanced License is required for continued use after server startup.”, but as far as I can tell I can reconnect as often as I want for 40 seconds at a time. JEDEC Raw Card E http://www.ramcity.com.au/buy/ramcity-32gb-pc3-10600-ecc-unbuffered-240-pin-dimm-kit-2x-16gb/2xCVZ-MAC, Hi, Richard. Hi again, I want to do the same with my ml310e server, but i am concerned will the non-FIO xeon work normally? — Do I really need to purchase the license? If anyone is looking for a Blu-ray option for this server, here’s the best option available: Panasonic/Matshita UJ-262 9.5mm SATA Blu Ray Burner Drive. Hi, Brendan. 3Gbit is more than enough to populate combined bandwidth from your raid setup. – 1x Kingston 8GB ECC DDR3 1600 System Specific Memory Model KTH-PL316E/8G 5. Also what benefits do I get using 2 1gb ethernet connections on 1gbps network? Of course using a normal SATA drive works, I can hear and feel the spinup and powered on state. Fusion lacks some features but its solid; I’ve never had a Host/Guest failure. Discussion threads can be closed at any time at our discretion. I don’t want to mess with that so I bought an ILO Advanced 1-year subscription off of ebay, you can get them for around $35 and I think they work with ILO4. Yes, as far as I can tell. I did entertain Raid10, but it requires 4 disks and would effectively halve my storage, only giving me 4TB. – I don’t know which box would be good now. I’m not too worried about a sensor reporting a low value, but the box is relucant to increase the fan speed (which is always 29-31% according to the iLO). Hp Proliant Microserver Gen8 Xeon Bewertungen. Is there room for both disks on the same side? I think it would be good enough to install an OS. – I have no idea on the HP smart controller. there is a power cable but it’s a mini 4-pin designed for the DVD drive. For a pre-built supported solution like the HP Microserver I don’t know of anything that’s had a recent hardware refresh, I imagine most manufacturers are going to skip Broadwell and wait for Skylake processors and hopefully have some updated hardware for us next year. Obwohl dieser Hp Gen8 Microserver vielleicht im höheren Preissegment liegt, findet sich dieser Preis auf jeden Fall in den Aspekten langer Haltbarkeit und sehr guter Qualität wider. Do you think this will suffice? Only the P222 is mentioned in the tech spec in this link: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14565_na/14565_na.pdf. The only issue I have is the 40C temperature bug. Thanks, Ben, i think the cheapest solution to make a silent fan is to use a zenner diode at 6v , or 7v or 5v …. Given how old this post is I’m not expecting a reply, but wondering if you had to do any tricks in the BIOS (not that I can see any options) to get it to work? Some of the links posted above for the cable adapters required are in actual fact wrong, the slimline drives use a MINI Sata power connection and therefore you will need a cable to suit such as: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0027FFRP4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. They have posted the FTP link to retrieve the SPP. haha, Hi guys i have plan to buy Microserver and want to fill with more than 3 TB SATA drives, doe’s the server handle bigger disk or it’s limited to 3 TB only as HP stated, Officially 3TB, but unofficially some people have gotten 4TB to work: http://sammit.net/hp-proliant-microserver-gen8-supports-4tb-drives/, Thanks Ben i have another question, have you tried to burn installed Xeon E3-1230 V2 with burning utility like Prime95 or InteLburntest 2.54, if yes what temperature did you get. Does hp sell 4TB disks? I’m guessing you’re danisg too :O) 4. Thank you Ben, this is detailed and very useful information on the MicroServer Gen8. The temps are pretty good, this server is more heat efficient than the old gens because the case is metal, not plastic, allowing heat to escape more easily. Somehow I just seem to remember the USB 3.0 ports also to work, both for 2.0 USB HDD and my charging/connection cable for my Garmin GPS watch before. I’m not sure why Intel does it this way, except to reduce competing with the Xeons. If so which brand and part #? You have to think about where to lay your power cable for the 2,5″ HDD though, as HP seemed to intentionally have constructed this bay to only house its own products… ;-) So the more people leaving a greeting with HP support, the more pressure will be put upon them. Kamaran, even using the b120i in AHCI causes high fan speed, and it’s taking far too long for HP to fix this. Is that CPU or Mainboard related? It all depends on usage. I’d run a test with hwinfo for you but I’ve sold my Microserver and did a custom build around the DS-380 chassis so I don’t have access to one…. 1. controller for the 2½ discs and then use the onboard controller for the 4 interal ones. I’m just curiuos, do you have two disks in the ODD bay, and how did you hook it up? My original idea of putting a P410i in there purely for raid 5 AND full 6gbit across all drives is probably overkill. If not, after all updated components, could you please post your % CPU fan ? Wir begrüßen Sie als Interessierten Leser auf unserer Webpräsenz. Hopefully I’ll have it posted tomorrow or the next day. Raid 10 is much better solution from an endurance and performance perspective but it does require more space than when running Raid 5. Hi, I’ve upgraded the server to have the Xeon E3-1230 V2 (nothing toned-down), a 120GB SSD, some additional drives (one of which being 4TB), 16GB memory and an additional HDMI GPU which are all working fine. – HP SmartMemory performance is 25% higher with Unbuffered ECC (UDIMM) memory and capable of supporting 1333 MT/s up to 2 DIMMs per channel at 1.35V. You need this: I managed to get the storage drivers downloaded onto cd then shoved that in the server and selected the correct ones. At low voltage (1.35 V), HP SmartMemory operates at DDR3-1333 MHz with one and two DIMMs per channel and at DDR3-1066 MHz at three DIMMs per channel. IEC 60950-1, Don’t get the V3, it’s based on the newer 1150 socket and isn’t compatible with the 1155 socket in the Microserver. Count: 18 There is DRAM memory module which contents are retained as long as the battery has some juice left. Your information is useful, thanks for your hardworking :). Using dynamic memory within Hyper-V helps but it would be oh so much more capable with 32GB instead of 16GB. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail. Hi. I ended up buying 1230v2 aswell, was initially worried but i haven’t been able to utilise all the cores with everyday use for long periods of time, so its been good in terms of heat. Ah kool i never got the pass through working for Im-sensors in ESXi always displays 100 degrees. Just use 16GB of ram and a few fast drives. Auf was Sie bei der Auswahl Ihres Hp Gen8 Microserver Acht geben sollten! It needs to do a full parity/checksum on all the discs to do that, it is rather likely that one more disc fails on you and you loose evertyhing. Note, if you decide to follow my build take a look at the different motherboard options here: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/#1667 as there are a few more out since when I made my build. Does the ODD slot have the SATA data and power cable? ECC: Yes 4. I am not sure you know that you have another option for RAID card, which is much-much cheaper and gives you 6 Gbps for all 4 HDDs. I may also have an M1015 available to a UK buyer – at the market price, of course…), Hi, Anderson. 750 € 59427 Unna. Still noisy in my opinion. It’s from a different supplier (Not RAMCity as they don’t ship outside of Australia). How much juice does your machine take in off, idle, typical load and full load? Parminder, I’ve now compaired the two models, and it seems that they support the same RAID levels. So far it has let me connect a dozen times for 40 seconds at a time, and I can interact on the keyboard and such. If you like, I can upload my config file so you can compare. The obvious option is the Xeon E3-1220L V2 at 17W, but it’s expensive and hard to find and only has 2 cores. Got my facts from this link: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/HP-BladeSystem-Server-Blades/Flash-Based-Write-Cache-FBWC-amp-Battery-Backed-Write-Cache-BBWC/td-p/1517#.UrHzeeIgnjM If you buy a P410 at some point I’d strongly recommend buying the ram+battery as it will perform rather badly untill you do. Xeons that have thermal sensors I know they won’t go into turbo mode at certain temperatures and I believe they’ll even downclock or shutdown (there is a thermal shutdown option in the Gen8 Microserver BIOS which is enabled by default, obviously leave that on). I’ve updated the post to show a list of processors that should be compatible along with the TDP rating (stock heatsink is designed for 35 watts). Fan right now is 39%. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. The heatsink uses slim ILM instead of normal 1156/1155 format, so consumer aftermarket stuff like Corsair or Coolermaster are not available. It also needs a power source to operate properly but with much smaller amount of energy thus enabling capacitors instead of batteries to be used. Take a look here: You can even create a script for RAID-checking, because you will need it sincs iLO will not be able to alert you of RAID problems with extra cards. Morten, do you have the Gen8 microserver? Hi, Jared. In the meantime I ran some tests with stress linux and with a windows live CD and prime95 and had some contradicting readings. You can run raid 6 with 4 discs if you want to. Hi, with the stock Celeron g1610T CPU, and the bios released 8/14, I’m seeing 33watts with no drives, and about 60watts with 4 500GB 7200RPM SATA drives. Anyone know why HP isn’t releasing custom ESXi 5.5 version for HP Gen8 servers? corporate business, ok, but still no BIOS mod out there? I didn’t ever have to turn on the room heater… LOL! When you have it all set up it’s not the CPU which is going to bottleneck you.. that will be drive IO. https://www.itconnected.tech/blog/intel-c200-series-chipset-quirks/, See also this test program – I get a ‘3’ on the above configuration: How long did you run these tests for? I’m running the Gen 8 with a Xeon E3-1220 V2 and it runs fine. Hallo und Herzlich Willkommen hier bei uns. The answer was to delete disk and partitions on the disk. Objektive Urteile durch Außenstehende geben ein gutes Bild bezüglich der Wirksamkeit ab. Industrial: -40 to 95°C tC Using server backup for the host. I’ve used USB3 with an external USB3 WD drive.
