Dell Idrac Jnlp

Is there a way for devices to communicate across a vlan with rules? I assume with multiple network ports a machine can be in multiple vlans? I would like to be able to share some read only files across vlans. Or maybe backup things across vlans.
You could also have a host that is connected to 2 ports in mode access, or to a port in mode trunk and configure a bridge between vlans (basically a virtual ethernet cable connecting the two virtual switches together).
My rack showed up a couple days early and just in time for the weekend. I also eneded up with about half a day to work on things. I spent a fair amoutn of time on site prep and I even found a scrap of carpet to throw down to keep the noise down and give me a good place to wrestle the rack. The rack came with some picture only instructions. It was comical how many parts and bots there were. It was fun though. I had to take it apart several times to figure out my length. I made a 2x6 platform to give the rack a solid base and make it a little easier to work with.
I think I have the layout all figured out. So now it is just finding the time to implement. I fought racking the r730xd but I had just missed a center rivet. It is all racked up now. I think the rear drive bay I picked up on ebay came with the wrong cable. I found 2 other dell options for this setup that I should have soon. So far power use on this has stayed under 100w for testing. Idle is 84w.
I am getting a cable unplugged error on the 730 but I was still able to install and boot to the 2 ebay intel ssds. To get past the error on boot I have to hit f1. Does anyone know what I need to use the idrac jnlp file on ubuntu or mint?
MY biggest issue right now is my 3, 4t drives I have in the dell 730. I was just testing on the old install and I setup a 3 drive zfs pool. I tried wiping the drives and moving them around. No go. I want to pass these 3 drives through to a truenas scale vm running in proxmox. I have read through a few articles but the drive passthrough with the existing pool has me stuck. More research on that this weekend.
So now I have truenas scale setup in a vm and the drives passed through. I created my first pool, but I had no idea what the other setup vdev is for raidz1 so I think I will have to read up a bit and redo it. I assume truenas can kill this pool easy enough.
I am connecting a device/vm to the network then booting it up. Then I am going int to pfsense and clicking add static mapping and then setting the IP I want and nothing else, saving and applying changes. Then I reboot the device.
Just a little update on the fan situation. While running at 44% I decided I would just shut the machine down and power it back up. When it did come back up it was at 75% along and accompanied by spousal disapproval. I had ordered two potential correct cables for my 2 rear drives in the 730xd. The cable I got with the used ebay kit would only connect to over by the raid controller card. The correct cable came in and I connected it up to the front backplane like the cloud ninja videos show. Now my fans are running at 10% and the r230/pfsense box is again the loudest thing in the rack.
Hello!I have a Dell R330 that has been running for maybe 8 months now. Just serving as a basic ESX host. It has always ran very cool and with fans on low speed is very bearable. About 2 months ago I put a Mellanox Connect 3 10G card into it. It...
Unfortunately, Dell doesn't publish iDRAC Tools packages for Ubuntu/Debian.BUT, you can make their Redhat packages work with Debian/Ubuntu - just follow our easy guide with examples, and you'll be using racadm and other tools in no time :)We also...
I have been struggling with vdevs a bit. This has some good info from a truenas dev, but I need more. I am finding a disconnect in articles an videos setting up truenas with real world homelab type scenarios. I have been through several videos/articles that just end up setting up a single drive and then the other end of 60 drives or a petabyte of storage. What about 3 or 4 drives?
I think 3 drives is pretty useless, unless you are looking for the smallest power consumption. Go 4 drives in stripped mirrors, or 5 drives in raid-z (best bang-for-buck on capacity vs reliability) or 6 drives raid-z2 (a little less capacity for more reliability).
No worries on the watching the video. I am just throwing stuff out there I find useful in case another green person might find it useful. I am just trying to have good future expansion in my plan. A 5 drive Raidz1 would also work well. I could get the first 5 up and running and still have an easy upgrade path for 5 more, leaving only one free bay.
I guess I will give you some more details on my storage plans. I have 3 drives collected so far. I can budget about 1 a month. My nas is also 4 bays, with the same size drives. I was planning to use that as the backup. My server has 12 bays + an optional 4. Having a real usable backup plan is a big goal of this project.
I managed to break my pfsense box, I was following a guide that talked about making some hardware acceleration changes. I am going to do a fresh install and try again. Another top priority is the ability to use and switch between multiple privacy VPNs. The deeper I get into this the taller that order seems to be. Over the past week I have heard Tom from Lawrence systems comment that it is difficult and I even found some unresolved attempts on his forums. I am using VPNs so I have the most generic web experience possible. I am hiding from as much personalized influence from big tech as possible.
I had some time to play with docker. I have 2 containers deployed with yaml files. One of those is tubearcivist. For some reason I cannot login. I have changed the user and password out but no change.
I have spent about 2 days trying to get syncthing to sync from my laptop, to a share on truenas or my synology. Right now I am trying to use a mint vm to sync some of the files from my home folder on my desktop and laptop to the samba share on this vm. Maybe there is a better way to do this.
" Is the NFS export configured on the whole subnet of the VMs?"
I am not sure what this means so I will do some research. I have made some feeble attempts to get nfs to work but I have never made any headway.
You are mounting a CIFS share, but SyncThing is expecting Unix-style permissions. If you have the same share for both linux and windows, just use the NFS share instead for syncthing under /media/whatever.
