Re: FW: New gen route servers

by Brady Kittel

As an alternate option I have several HP dl380 g7's that are maybe a year old and still under warranty I could provide. They have licensed ILO on them as well and I could provide some hot spare drives for them. They're also massively over speced for this use (quad core processors, 8-12GB of memory, 4 x 15k drives. We've had much better luck with the HP hardware with regard to firmware stability in that generation range than the dell hardware we run for what it's worth. Given we only run maybe a thousand servers but the sample size seems large enough to bare that out.

I think that would be an excellent upgrade to newer gear than what we have now. Of course, it is total overkill for what it needs, but then again just about anything enterprise hardware is. When the R805 is ready, I could swing out and do up this one at 511, probably easier than hauling it back and forth, even I'm only 8 blocks away. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades

R320 is current. I'd jump on this if I were doing the work. -- Mike, via phone

Nevin@Arcustech has graciously donated a Dell PE R805 to MICE for use as a RR. We specificily choose it with a SAS6/i controller, which is a non battery backed RAID controller, so the deep battery drain/charge cycle that I see glitch out the disks sometimes wouldn't be an issue. After micemn-02 ate it last week, I had actually taken one of ipHouse surplus PE 1950 with a SAS6/i controller down to MICE to replace micemn-02, so it has been up since then. I think that with the refresh of micemn-01 with the newer Dell and with specificly choosing that controller, I think MICE RR's will be in a good spot. I'm currently awaiting a batch of DRAC cards that I bought for it to arrive and I'll take the R805 down to 511 to replace micemn-01. I'm thinking with the different RAID HBAs that the stability will be improved and this won't be an issue. The actual resources required by the RR's are nothing, but it is the redundancy and stability that we need. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn(a)iphouse.net> ~.~ ipHouse ~.~ Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades

We have stacks of 1950's not in use, but yes, Doug at IPHouse has some newer boxes from us, and a plan. -Nevin -- Nevin Lyne -- Founder & Director of Technology -- Arcustech, LLC. - arcustech.com -- Gippy's Internet Solutions, LLC. - enginehosting.com

If I remember correctly, a member had committed to donating some slightly newer hardware, and it was supposed to be delivered last weekend, does anyone know if that happened? -----Original Message----- From: MICE Discuss [mailto:MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET] On Behalf Of Derek Poehls Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2015 10:16 AM To: MICE-DISCUSS(a)LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: Re: [MICE-DISCUSS] Mice route server stability In regards to route server hardware.
