Or not.. gotta love this forum

:rolleyes::p Everyone's a critic

OK, OK.. talking to myself again it seems, well should anybody be future searching maybe they'll find this post helpful (hopefully) Here's a quick run down of my testing.. FIRST and I know this is a slight pain, but check your downloaded ProxMox.ISO's checksum (hash) to ensure your download...

OK, so for an update.. I've managed to get the 'Virtual CD' working using PVE9.1 and iDRAC6, however this same error is still present. I'll attach a better screenshot once I get it of my phone, also I will try PVE 8.4 and let you guys know :cool:

OK guys, lets revive this thread!! So I've finally had my replacement controller arrive from China. Installed it and ofc it's 5mm too big to fit into the same slot as before (the internal middle one), so I then had to order longer mini-SAS leads.. and finally its powered up again. I've had...

LMAO - thank-you, okay a different lead.. results "Port 51 1000 GBIC module detected." - Back to the problem please

Ok, ok, ok, so I'm struggling here guys.. My switch (DGS-1210-52) detects GBIC module in Port 51 upon initially plugging in the SPF+ lead according to the System Log, however no LEDS illuminate on the front of the switch. Then additionally, this is a spare PC that I am using to test. It is...

Now.. this is the wealth of information that I desire!! Love it, thank-you Beisser, Meyergru, very informative and helpful. I'm just making a second image of the W11 machine (in case it's ever needed) and I've downloaded the three ProxMox images (6.4, 8.4 & 9.1) so will experiment today working...

Thank-you for shedding some light on this Beisser, your reply is very helpful/useful.. from my own perspective, if I can get away repurposing (ancient) hardware that I have 'in-house' then all the better. I have no real 'use case' other than homelab. I just begrudge spending money on something...

Right, so I'm a small home user. I've just boiked my PCI-E server controller card, I need to wait till between Feb-Mar for that to arrive from China. I've a spare PC besides me, but only a spare 60GB SSD. I am far more knowledgeable using Windows over Linux, so my first thought in terms of...

So I've come across this IBM 10GB NIC, reportedly not compatible with Windows. I was kinda hoping to find a second network adaptor but maybe because this doesn't seem fully installed may be the reason why? Anybody with any thoughts/suggestions please? Adaptor is 81Y9993 Apparently This is...

Thanks for the reply dude. 12th gen PERCS, so 2012 era? Kinda fits the servers year of manufacture, however I've just ordered a new card (and I'm hoping it's preflashed) Hopefully all will be good going forward, but I'll update the thread next month once it's arrived. Thanks again :cool:

Great! Just bricked the card.. blindly running batch files, now I'm at the 'Invalid PCI card installed' BIOS message and ofc won't boot. Just ordered this, I will no doubt, be back asking for help!!!

Original thread title was "Reflashing Dell PERC Help" however that's kinda been resolved for now but this is all related. Trying to flash my IR controller to IT mode. Made the mistake of not writing down my SAS address, like a noob so it's going to be all zeros going forward! Card is listed...

I've purchased an old HP ML330 G6 for my father, I have exactly the same server myself. Everything will be fine, it'll be easy to set up (as my home server is the same.. or so I thought.. famous last words!) Unfortunately reality is completely different and I don't have enough knowledge to...

Yes, probably all correct Fabian, is there anything I can do to restore or save my current installation?

If I let it boot as normal (scsi0) if fails to boot with the messages about reading and writing outside of hd0 The last backup I took was a while ago, not recent. Yes I could try doing this but alas I think either way it wouldn't help me. In terms of UPS's I have three, however one battery has...

Hi Maximiliano, thanks for your reply. EDIT: Currently booting from .ISO but normally it's set straight too SCSI0 Yes, I have backups (somewhere lol)

Okay, so a little background information: PVE 6.4-6 Running up to 8 VMs HP ML330 G6 - X5650 110GB RAM I now nearly have all my 'everyday' VM's up and running again, however my Storj VM refuses to run.. complaining "attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'" When I go into Console, and...

No, not at all. Thank-you for resolving this for us.
