For a customer, a complete fernmanagbarer 1U 19 "Server are purchased. Application: multi-client capable Web server. Since I have for this purpose several HP Proliant DL320G5p supervisor I've looked at the new HP DL320G6. But with the licenses for iLO
and NBD Support Pack, this server was higher than the budget of 1000 €. So again requested at Dell. There I was, the Dell PowerEdge R210 including 2 plates and iDRAC6Enterise remote management for ... offered. When the server arrived today, the surprise was great. A colleague said, "Although this is a package arrived but impossible because the server can be in there. There's only determined the rackmount kit in it." In fact the box was more than half as small as a Proliant 320s. But it was actually a server in it. Which is only half as long as an HP DL320. This can be a huge advantage when you only have a very short rack. With surprise, I found later is this server on the HCL from VMware ESXi Server. It is from Dell even provided a patched version of ESXi should contain all the drivers and agents for the hardware. The disillusionment came with the first boot the CD. The onboard RAID controller is not recognized. So when Dell opened ticket. After several back and forth came the explanation: The server is compatible as such. But not the onboard RAID controller. Switching off the RAID function everything is fine. Only productive machines without Raid are stupid anyway. Fortunately, there were at Dell for little money (\u0026lt;200 €) a real raid controller. The E200 I usually always at the HP320er for ESXi use is considerably more expensive. One should just remember the right order with the same cable kit to do so. The E200 has the controller propitäre plug. The controller is not Dell. With the controller also ran everything perfectly. ESXi runs as a 1 When you send abroad but had resolved by the Board of iDARC controller. It then had to follow another remote hands again used. Useful before we were able to boot from the remote via remote management was an ISO to perform further diagnosis. That's class if you need support. The extra scale producers access pass with whom he comes into the BIOS and can also boot the ISO a remote diagnosis. After deleting the data service is required again.
Overall, the server is to be recommended as a Web server or ESXi as a small hosting platform for many true VPS. The remote management function should also order in any case. The Money you have very quickly back out.
