Hi, I have two servers in my homelab: HPE DL360 Gen10 HPE DL380 Gen10 They both have the same configuration: CPU: 2x Silver 4116 RAM: 256GB SSD: 4x 1TB in RAID10 NIC: 4x onboard 1gbps and 2x SFP+ I wonder if I can configure it as follows. I have a VM called Win10 - 4x vcpu, 16GB RAM, 96GB HDD I would like this VM to be on both servers and when one stops working (e.g. power supply failure), this VM would be immediately available on the other server. I guess this is high availability? Is it possible to make such a configuration? Both servers run ESXI 7.0.3 One server has a VM created with vCenter 7 Thanks for help!

Hi, I want to buy two SFP+ network cards for my servers. I'm thinking of three models but haven't decided yet: - HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562SFP+ adapter - HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 524SFP+ adapter - HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 548SFP+ adapter I think I will choose the HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 548SFP+ adapter because its price is low. One card will be for HPE ML350 Gen10. This is my virtualization server with ESXI 7 The second card will be for HPE ML110 Gen10, this is my storage with TrueNAS SCALE My network switch is Unifi USW-AGGREGATION. If I choose one of these cards, what inserts and cable do I need to buy to connect these network cards to my network switch? These cards have two SFP+ ports, so I thought to use one port from each card to connect them to the network switch. And the second ports of both cards should be connected to each other so that the ML350 and ML110 would have a direct connection with each other. I will want to set up iSCSI. I have never had contact with SFP+ inserts and SFP+ cards Thanks!

Hi, I have an HPE ML350 Gen10 server at home. Configuration: CPU: 2 x XEON Silver 4110 RAM: 128GB DDR4 - HP branded NIC1: onboard 4x 1gbps NIC2: HP 530T NIC3: HP 561T GPU: nVidia QUARDO P2000 OS: ESXi-7.0U3l-21424296-standard Onboard NIC (2 ports) -vswitch1- is used by ESXI for VMs that require 1gbps network. The HP 530T-vswitch0-card is used by VMs that require a 10gbps network. I would like to use the HP 561T as the LAN interface and the fourth NIC port on the motherboard as the WAN to the Pfsense VM. I have set a pass through for: HP 561T The fourth port on the onboard NIC After that I restarted the ESXI system Screenshot below:   I created a VM for Pfsense and assigned to this VM the HP561T and one port from the NIC on the motherboard. Screenshot below:   I installed Pfsense with no ethernet cables connected. After the installation, when Pfsense restarted, I connected the ethernet cable to the first port of the HP 561T card. After connecting the ethernet cable, the server restarted itself! What am I doing wrong? I currently have a DL120 Gen9 with Pfsense, but would like to have Pfsense as a VM on the ML350 Gen10. Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hi everyone! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! I have two HP servers at home. DL380 Gen9 and ML110 Gen10 Both servers have ESXi 7.0 Update 3f installed. I see there is a newer version and I wanted to update my two servers. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to update because my ESXI system is HPE Custom. Is it enough if: 1. Turn off all machines on the host 2. I will enter Maintenance Mode on the host 3. Log in to the server via ssh 4. I will update with the command: esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-7.0U3g-20328353-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have reinstalled ESXI and am trying to restore my virtual machines. I have a problem with one VM that has a BRIDGE for containers. The BRIDGE interface is not getting an IP address. When I set a static IP address, I also have no communication at all. In vSwitch0 settings I have ACCEPT set for Promiscuous mode. I set it up a long time ago and I can't remember... Anything else I need to change? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a question for you before the final installation and configuration of the system. There will be several virtual machines on this host. VM01 - 4vCPU, 8GB RAM, Debian 11 - PLEX - I will assign a graphics card (P2000) to this VM for transcoding VM02 - 1vCPU, 2GB RAM, Debian 11 - WEBSERVER - my two blogs, nextcloud VM03 - 2vCPU, 8GB RAM, Debian 11 - This VM will be used as Wordpress containers for my 7 friends VM04 - 2vCPU, 8GB RAM, Debian 11 - On this virtual machine I will have a container with Unifi Controller, 2x PiHole, in the future there will be two containers for HomeAssistant. VM05 - 1vCPU, 4GB RAM, Linux - VM with Kemp Load Balaner for blogs etc. VM06 - 2vCPU, 8GB RAM, Win10 Pro - VM designed for downloading files Server Specs: HP ML110 Gen10 CPU: Intel XEON Silver 4110 8C / 16T RAM: 64GB RAM DDR4 - in a few days I will add 32GB, it will be 96GB in total SSD: 2x 256GB Samsung 860 Pro, 3x 1TB Crucial MX500 HDD: 2x 4TB Seagate GPU: Quadro P2000 5GB Disk configuration. 2x 2x 256GB Samsung 860 Pro - RAID1 - 64GB - for ESXI 7 - rest - for virtual machines and ISOs 3x 1TB Crucial MX500 - RAID5 - 1.8TB - for virtual machines 2x 4TB Seagate - RAID1 - I'm wondering whether to buy one disk and make it RAID5 - 4TB - to the warehouse: Nextcloud, PLEX What do you think about this configuration? I wonder if I need these Samsung SSDs in RAID1 at all. Everything will fit on this RAID5, because it's 1.8TB.

Hi,   a few days ago I installed ESXI 7.0.3   I have a little problem with low transfer when copying.   The server has a default RAID configuration and ESXI7 configuration.   My configuration: HPE ML110 Gen10 64GB RAM RAID controller: E208p-i Disks: ARRAY A: 2x Samsung 860 PRO 256GB - RAID 1 - only for ESXI   ARRAY B: 2x Seagate 4TB - RAID 1 - data storage   ARRAY C: 3x Crucial MX500 1TB - RAID 5 - VM storage   ARRAY D 1x WD Green 240GB - RAID 0 - not used.     I have created virtual machines for testing below: VM01 - ARRAY A (SSD) - 2vCPU, 8GB RAM, 64GB HDD VM02 - ARRAY B (HDD) - 2vCPU, 8GB RAM, 64GB HDD VM03 - ARRAY C (SDD) - 2vCPU, 8GB RAM, 64GB HDD   I am downloading a 1GB file for each virtual machine. During the copy, only one VM is running on the ESXI7 host.   Copy Speeds: VM01 - max 100MB / s VM02 - max 35MB / s VM03 - max 100MB / s   You can find my RAID controller configuration in the link below. https://pastebin.com/VEa3xPrs   Am I able to achieve better transfers?

Hi,   I have an HP ML110 Gen10 server with 64GB RAM and a RAID E208i-p controller.   I have 4x Samsung 860 Pro 256GB SSDs in RAID5 connected. 768GB   Today I would like to install and configure ESXI 7.0.2 HPE   Can the system be installed on this RAID5 and also configure the storage for VM on this RAID5?   Or is it better to connect the pendrive to the server's motherboard and install ESXI on this pendrive?   Please let me know   Happy FRIDAY!

Hi, I installed ESXI 7.0.2 on my HP ML110 Gen10. I have a little problem. When I run the console of a virtual machine with Debian, the keyboard does not work. Ie. I can change consoles ALT + F1 to F6, but when I want to enter login nothing happens. This started happening after the Service Pack Proliant firmware update.   When I start the VM console (via WebGUI) with Windows 10, the keyboard and mouse work When I start VM console (via WebGUI) with Debian 10 or 11 with Gnome, the keyboard and mouse work
