HPE Proliant Servers

So I added the card and now the Fan's won't drop below 39%

Question,

Where can i find a bios update? I'm on p62 with a date of 05/05/11

Also can a second SFF be inserted in the machine?

Also a question. Would the Noctua 40MM pull enough air through?

I also tried the noctua... For me this didnt work at all. Im back On stock

Thank you Ruschi now just to find out the other information about getting a updated Bios and if i can add a 2nd SFF or a LFF cage.

For the bios update you will need the latest HP SPP. You can take it from this torrent:

Regarding the cooler i recommend using the upgraded HP version that's rated for a 65W TDP: 832667-001

Nevermind figured it out.

Hello,

I'm setting up a HP Gen 8 1610T server.

I carefully followed instructions from this thread to boot from a ssd on the 5th sata port and it worked perfectly, thanks.

I installed a complete debian and then OMV 3.0

I have a very newbie question about networking :

In my final setup I would like to use the second rj45 port for my printer/scanner and give it access to the network.

Currently every device is connected directly to the internet router and is working fine (network print and scan).

My network would look like :

internet router -----------(rj45 1) gen8 (rj45 2)------------ printer
|
|
PC

Obviously, the printer should be accessible from the PC (or any other device on my network)... and ideally from internet trough google print (wich I use sometimes from work).

1. is it even possible ? I wonder why it wouldn't.
2. how ?

It would allow me to move both the server and the printer to a closet (space is limited in my appartment) with only one long rj45 wire.

Currently ifconfig only shows eth0 and lo.
/etc/network/interfaces is standard :

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

I don't know where to start since I never configured anything similar (just routers with dhcp, port forwarding and default stuff).

Thanks in advance !

Hi qkzk,

1. It is possible (but not configurable in the OMV-webGUI)
2. You have to set up a bridge between eth0 and eth1. For that you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces like this:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# br0 network interface bridge
auto br0
allow-hotplug br0
iface br0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.4  #example, IP of your OMV-machine
    netmask 255.255.255.0  #for  max 254 adresses in your LAN
    gateway 192.168.1.1  #example, IP of your router
    dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1  #example, IP of your router or an external DNS e.g. Google
    pre-down ethtool -s $IFACE wol g
    bridge_ports eth0 eth1
    bridge_fd 5
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_waitport 0
iface br0 inet6 manual
pre-down ip -6 addr flush dev $IFACE

NIC-port 1 should be connected to your router, NIC-port 2 to your printer (that is reachable only, when your OMV-machine is running )
After a reboot it should work...
...if not, because your system cannot set up eth0 and/or eth1, you need a local console (monitor and keyboard or iLo-remote-console) to delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-network.rules and give it another reboot.
Btw: Midnight Commander (mc) is imho very helpful for such console-jobs...

A technical question Spy Alelo:
I run two Windows-7-Virtualbox-VMs on my ML10v2 under OMV3. The VMs with IPs in the same network as the host and iLo are set up to use a bridged network connected to br0, a bridge between eth0 (NIC-port 1) and eth1 (NIC-port 2).
Why is iLo (on shared NIC-port 1 with own IP) not reachable for the VMs, but for every other machine in my network?

Thank you. I'll try the software setup (curiosity killed the cat) and if it's annoying I'll buy a simple switch

Quote from Spy Alelo

I don't know why you have bridged the interfaces, but if they are both on the same switch you will have some major issues passing traffic for certain things and iLO would be one of them. You have to realize that the fact that iLO shares a port with the system's NIC doesn't mean it makes the port a switch. I have a feeling that the iLO ARP record may not be passed along or the wrong record is presented to the VMs.
...I have a feeling that you may have to explain better why you have created that bridge, but this is the best I could come up with the little information you gave me.

Because the question was not how you would connect devices, i gave you all necessary information - except the matter of course, that only NIC-port 1 is connected to the external switch. I have the feeling, that you should better just answer "i don't know" in case you don't know an answer.

BTW: A bridge makes the host with the bridged NICs work as a switch - and another NIC or another external switch and also the additional consumed power are not free of cost...

Not everyone (especially those in the enterprise environment) think about saving a few dollars and a few watts. You can buy a energy efficient gigabit switch for $20 and it will consume 3 watts. That isn't a big cost and is a supported config for OMV unlike a bridge.

Especially those in the enterprise environment should think more about saving a few watts, because they waste power on my cost since private consumers pay much more for power to support the "poor" economy. Wasting power without thinking and without valuable benefit brought us nuclear power plants and unsolveable problems for tenthousands of years...

Quote from Spy Alelo

Obviously you don't know how iLO works to prevent the issue, but I'll leave it at that since you seem to be so knowledgeable and capable of resolving it yourself. And thanks for the lesson on a useless bridge config.

Except for the described little issue my "useless bridge config" works perfectly as expected, even when you negate its use. Because i don't know how and why iLO and/or its port sharing generates this issue i asked you as the HPE-expert. Obviously you also don't know it. That is no serious problem - i can live without an answer. How about you?

Imagine you ask your mechanic, why your e.g. Chrysler doesn't run in fourth gear although it has five gears, and he answers that he doesn't understand, why you want to use the "useless" fifth gear instead of buying a Dodge with a much more comfortable automatic gearbox, that he would prefer. I have a feeling that you wouldn't sense that as helpful.
I sensed your answers as unkind, arrogant and not helpful.
