This was my works active server until a few months ago. Going to fire it up soon and get it fully working like I did with the last batch of servers I received.
Last time a lot of you said dont even power it on due to power consumption, I do not care about the power costs. Unless you pay my bill, dont worry how power hungry it is smh
Ancient? Okay, I’ll shut down the business.
Holy cow.
One of the first I ever owned. Sniff.
it’s a classic.
I had two of these sharing a disk array via fiber channel I believe. Always loved the aesthetic of the drives and their activity lights.
These guys need a lot of juice.
DL380G4… Christ man, just a gen off from the old school Compaq Proliant 1850R
I have one of those, still works!
The mix and match of 36.4 GB and 72.8 GB drives/carriers concerns me, traditionally a G4 server should be one or the other. The mix and match of Disk-1 and Disk-5 being different from the rest means either improperly labeled drives or someone has utterly lost their mind.
I also have to wonder regarding the absence of any 18.2 GB drives, though…a pair of those are *supposed* to be RAID 1 for the OS.
(I may have some unfortunate memories from this particular version…I think this was the last of the 32 bit servers from HP, and I hated it from the very bottom of my heart.)
DL370 G6 I believe I have. It’s currently running my home automation. Swapped the fans for a custom setup and tricked the ILO with an esp 8266.
Works like a dream. Cost…nothing ✨ My favourite number 😎
These are cool. Used to be the workhorses of the internet - and a lot of other things.
OP what o/s are you /will you run on it?
I have just got a Sun v60x that has a corrupt version of Debian Etch on it. What do you think I should put on it?
Love your style :)
“i dont care about power… Unless you pay my power bill…”
But, but think of the children and your carbon footprint and all those greenhouse gasses using all that power will create…that impacts everyone. Lol /S
Eh, I have a G8 and honestly it’s not cutting it anymore, it’s been relegated to EVE-NG on demand and otherwise sits powered off. Can’t imagine what use a G4 would be other than to increase the electricity bill.
Remind me of one of my First fault. In the Morning i changed the raid Controller from a 5300 to a 6400 with mutch More Cache. Want to Speed the Mailserver for our 1000 Users. Ending in a Not bootable System and a downtime for 1 Main work Hours.
looks as old as my dell PowerEdge 2850. they don’t make them like they use to
There’s one of these sitting in our office right now. It was used in production and when removed a lecturer wanted it to show to students or something, so it spent years kicking about various classrooms and locations. It has since come back to us because… I’m not sure why.
Still fun to see it. :)
