Main use is actually to sync content to my tablet for the 50 minute train ride to work. Latest Plex Media Server - used for transcoding to phones/tablets. The old Windows VM is still there - all it does now is runs APCUPSD for my UPS and shutdown script, and an instance of XBMC that is on all the time for updating of new downloads (HTPC's around the house are switched off unless needed.) Deluge for the occasional torrent when usenet fails lol The instability of the Windows VM running Sab/Sick/Couch ended up getting to me, so I fired up a Ubuntu Server 12.04 VM (from the mini.iso so it was as lightweight as possible.) This box now runs the following:
#INTEL S 2600 CP2 UPDATE#
Thought I'd post a quick update on the current status of my server. If you can add them to unraid are there any problems with this? I'm wondering if I can use a motherboard SATA port for my cache drive (and to add more drives to Unraid at a later stage) and use these in unraid or do I need to order another IBM M1015? I have nine drives I currently have to use with unraid (one parity, one cache, seven hard drives) and I've only ordered one IBM M1015. I'm awaiting a X9SCM-IIF and an IBM M1015 from America. I ask because I'm in the process of building an EXSi machine with unraid and either a windows 7/Ubuntu VM. I'm curious about how you've connected your cache drive? It looks like it using the motherboard's SATA port, is this using Raw Device Mapping? Is there a limit on how many hard drives can be mapped to a virtual machine? I'm wondering if I might ask you a question about your build (I apologise if this is a basic question, I'm not from a computer background and trying to get my head around this all while I await computer parts)? It's a little rough around the edges in places, but it works OK for the most part.Ĭonsidering I'm an ESXi noob that'll be a challenge, I'll keep you posted! Re: CP2 - CP1 has stopped development, and CP2 is much better-looking and fuller featured.
If you can get the 82579LM to work ok with ESXi then yeah, there's no real issue running it in that configuration.
This was one of the reasons for getting the Intel card.
#INTEL S 2600 CP2 DRIVER#
There is a community hack driver kicking around, but I've steered clear of it due to a few problems people have had. It might work fine, but the 82579LM doesn't have an official ESXi driver. I actually thought of using one of the ports in the MB (I also have the MBD-X9SCM-F-O) for the WAN and the other for the LAN. Are you using the 4 ports in the Intel Nick for the LAN? I'm guessing these go to the switch, right? I'm actually thinking of installing pfSense as a WM also. PfSense - WAN port on 82574L off the motherboard running to my ADSL2+ modem, LAN port on the quad port Intel.
