I figured I needed to document some of this stuff, and also because rackmount overkill has been such a inspiration.
I'll update this thread with things I'm doing, both hardware and software.
EQUIPMENT
Rack:
Great Lakes 13U
Server #1
Hardware:
3U Chenbro RM31300 with two SK33502T2 HDD cages
2U Chenbro 500w (PS-P2H-5500V)
Supermicro X8DTE
2x Xeon L5520s (Socket 1366)
48GB (8x6GB) DDR3 FB-ECC RAM
200GB Seagate 7200.8 (boot)
2x3TB Seagate 7200.14 (backup of important stuff)
IBM M1015 with passthrough IT firmware
---4x3TB Seagate NAS drives (RAID 5, storage)
---4x1TB WD Blues (RAID 10, VM hosts)
Intel PRO/1000 dual NIC card
Operating system(s)
Proxmox
---VZ Container - Debian 6 (file server)
---VZ Container - CentOS 6 (MySQL)
---VZ Container - CentOS 6 (Web Server)
---QEMU - Windows 2008R2 (DHCP, general server duties)
Server #2
Hardware:
1U Supermicro 812L-280UB
1U 280W Athena
Supermicro X7DBU
2x Xeon L5320s (Socket 771)
8GB (4x2GB) DDR2 FB-ECC RAM
160GB Maxtor
Operating system(s)
Windows 2012 R2
Server #3
Hardware:
2U Norco RPC-230
Seasonic 300w ATX
ASRock E350M1/USB3 (AMD E-350 CPU)
2GB DDR3 1066
4x400GB (2x7200.8, 2x7200.10s)
Intel PRO/1000 MT single NIC
Operating system(s)
FreeNAS 6
Network device(s)
Dell Powerconnect 5224
So Server #1 is really my main server that has everything. Server #2 I'm just messing around with and trying stuff out. Server #3, I had a 4x400GB NAS back when I didn't know anything around 2008 and I thought I lost all my data (poor practices, ignored warning signs, etc). I recently put it in this setup because I'm trying to recover some of the data that's on it.
I'll update this thread with things I'm doing, both hardware and software.
