  1. What is the power consumption on that setup? The HPE Micro with a Xeon E3 16GB ECC ram and 4 WD Red 6 TB Drives draws about 50 Watt. My NUC 11 Core i5 with 64GB ram one m2 1 Tb and a Crucial SATA SSD 2TB plus 2 external 2.5 inch 5TB drives running OMV one VM and around 16 docker containers draws 18 to 20 Watt. Would like to build a power efficient yet power-full rig to run xpenology. Back in the day when I bough the HPE micro gen to replace my DS1512+ I was impressed such a powerfull machine used around the same power as the DS1512+ but now I think I can do better especially looking at what the NUC does.
  2. Ha OK, thnx for the info! What about the Junes loader etc. etc. - Redpill options?
  3. Yep! DSM 7 running on my HPE Micro GEN8. 16GB ECC and XEON power with DSM goodness. Thank you POCOPICO for this great script and image! One question. I had Junes Loader etc. etc. - redpill USB I had Junes Loader etc. etc. - redpill SATA Tiny Core redpill USB Tiny Core redpill SATA I went for Tiny Core redpill USB But where can I find the differences between these options?
  4. Issue seems to be gone, script was updated 2 hours ago and now it seems to build without the space issue.
  5. Yep, had found this out also, forgot to mention. Been at it for hours en always the same result. If you try the last step (build) without reboot it looks like it finishes but it does not create the correct boot entry's etc. so you can only boot into redpill again and start over. With the same results.
  6. My Machine is a HPE Micro server Gen8 with a Xeon E3 and 16GB ecc ram. Cant be a shortage of ram.
  7. Hi Willba4 I noticed you reported this with all the info, thanks for that!
  8. sadly extending disks etc. does not work. I can see that sd3 has loads of space left. Seems to be /dev/loop52p1 that is full. not sure how to work around this.
  9. Hmm, I am using a 16GB and a 8GB stick but get this error also : !] Failed to copy /home/tc/redpill-load/build/1652617579/rd-patched-ds3615xs_42218.gz to /home/tc/redpill-load/build/1652617579/img-mnt/part-1/rd.gz /usr/local/bin/cp: error writing '/home/tc/redpill-load/build/1652617579/img-mnt/part-1/rd.gz': No space left on device *** Process will exit *** Any clues what I am doing wrong? Used RedPil on ESXi 7.0.2 and that worked fine. Am now trying to get this installed on my HPE Microserver Gen8 but cant get past this issue.
  10. Well, Got it working with SATA Controller passthrough on my HP Microserver GEN10PLUS. Now just wondering if I can safely upgrade to the new releases.
  11. Hi Everybody, been playing with this tutorial just to see if ProxMox is a way to go for Xpenology. Already have Xpenology running on Baremetal and ESXI so wanted to try this. Th back-up is brilliant and works really wel! Thank you for that! I am just wondering, what is the best way to attache storage to the VM? I already have a ZFS pool on the PROXMOX host and I could create a virtual disk, but not sure how the performance and reliability is. In ESXI I got some instability when I created a volume based on 4 vmdk. So I opted to just create a small VMDK and just mount a NFS share from a TruenNAS device. That way I can have the storage available for more then one host. I guess I can host a LXC container with a NFS server on it and share the ZFS with it to create a NFS share which I can mount in the XPENLOGY vm. But it kind of sounds a bit complicated and I am introducing more point of failures. Other option (maybe best one) is sata passthrough, but not sure if I can do that on my Microserver Gen10Plus. Anyway, hoping to hear from you guys!
  12. Hi balrog, this is pretty much what I am trying to accomplish with my setup. But I think need the redundancy of RAID10 most dat ais pretty much backed up on other NAS drives (TRUENAS gets synced each sunday and the important files are synced with my one drive business in almost realtime). Thank you for the how to, I am still in the discovery mode and switching back and forth between PROXMOX and ESXI but in the meantime fiddling with Behive on Truenas and KVM on OMV. Probably will endup going back to ESXI, want to run ESXI from a attached SSD on the USB port and the actual VM's also. Having some trouble making the rest of the SSD where ESXIO runs from (500GB) available to ESXI but found a guide that might work. Th trick and guides which involve stopping the USB arbitrator etc. is not what I am looking, that works and I already played with it. But I just want the USB SSD pin which the ESXI 7 install reside to be available as a DATASTORE. Anyway, installed the E-2236 today and seems to be running fine with the 64GB ram etc. Can I ask why you installed the NOCTUA? What the server running too hot? I have E3-1230V2 running on my 2 GEN8 and never had any issues with high temps with the stock cooling. I have a couple of these lying around and might put them in front of the grill to push some extra air though. https://www.amazon.nl/Infinity-dual-USB-ventilator-UL-gecertificeerd-Playstation-computerbehuizing/dp/B00IJ2J2K0/ref=asc_df_B00IJ2J2K0/?tag=nlshogostdde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=472122620630&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13756350533054949332&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9064941&hvtargid=pla-457643462363&psc=1 One other question, is the e-2236 powerful enough to transcode 2 4K streams with PLEX or will I need to add a P400 and if so do you know if this will use too much power? TDP of th eP400 is 30w. thank you for all you info so far!
  13. Hi Balrog, Yep, I am going to install it tomorrow, the 64GB is already in. I will just run it with 4 HD drives a usb stick and a Seagate one touch attached to the USB3 port like they showed on the STH site. Th only expansion I would love is a Nvidia P400 for Transcoding but don't want to stress the PSU and since this server will run 24/7 I don't want it to draw more than 70W when not handling heavy workloads. My Gen8 Now draws 50W with 2 dimms 4 internal drives, internal usb and external USB drive. My ESXI ML310 Gen8 also the same with 32Gb and 4 10Tb drives some 7200rpm Seagates (noisy bastards compared to my WD reds in the other servers). If you have the notes it would be greatly appreciated!
