Servers the way they are meant to be! on cardboard :)

According to ILO our newer DL380p's (production) use between 175w - 200w on average (less than 250w peak), Dual Hexa / 384GB ram, not counting storage, 2x of them run approximately 60 production server vm's.
Servers have come a very long way in terms of power consumption in real world use versus ~ 5 years ago when something like this would be running on several Gigawatts on physical hardware.
Synthetic benchmarks may / may not be so kind but the combination of new hardware and virtualization has improved power efficiency by orders of magnitude for our use case at least, and we do pay for power use in the form of how many 20a 120v circuits we have to buy with the data-center provider.
Where I am in Alaska is way above the national average. In Anchorage it is actually UNDER the national average for electricity costs. In winter when I have to have my truck plugged in 3 hours before I want to start it (at -20 and below) it goes up even more. There is one electricity COOP here and they exist to line the pockets of the investors. plus its not de-regulated so for folks on retirement or Social Security get absolutely no breaks.
So I saw it mentioned that when VMs are allowed to enter a low power state or sleep then the host itself can as well...are there any other caveats or things to be aware of here?
Remote desktop you say?

I love that I just log in from my phone wherever I am :-)
Program rocks!
Changed from Arctic cooling to dynatron modded with noctua got both boards running the same exact setup

Custom cables for file server are getting started! Woot!

Uh a doc on his phone?
Yes? But maximum mods is doing the work.
Also, picked up one of these babies for my file server :-D so stoked

Not exactly a server, but they are where I keep servers.

That's at your home Nirvash ?
There are nice clean looking racks, what are they ?
That is very much my home, they are HP racks, the logo is just cut off the top of the photos. They don't seem to have any model numbers on them, so I can't say exactly, I got both of them used without side panels for $120 :up:
Will probably post pictures with the doors open after doing so more cable management.
Did I forget to post stuff... maybe. Or maybe I was just tweaking stuff...

So much pr0nzzzz there
You guys are making me really think i need a "server".........:rofl:
C6100 ive found more than a few of these on ebay and thought 3 is a nice round number to have, so i have one inbound for a late Dec delivery :)
so the question i have is does the OS see these as 4 different mobos, or 1 big one with 8 sockets?
how would i connect all 3 of them together? witha 24 port Gbit switch, or are these inifiniband?
it says they are dual Gbit nics on each node with 4 nodes per enclosure, but they are HPC nodes, so wouldnt that mean inifinband?
whats a mezanine card, and what are they used for?
would i be able to boot each rack off of one hdd, or does each node need its own? what bout when i get all 3 racks, can u boot all 3 from one hdd
ive got a ton more questions.. lol
They are separate machines (nodes) and not one big one.
Nice setup tho :)
