Setting up a home server

mfenn, I can't even put into WORDS my appreciation for you assisting me with this build, and my trials along the way. Your help, and that of others has been truly invaluable!! That said, I was able to kill 2 birds with one stone. I was able to increase the file size of the image, but try as I...

Setting up a home server

This isn't the entire log, but it is mostly all the same error, with random other info that isn't related to the issue. For some reason, the guest isn't able to write anymore data. I tried to manually create a directory, and get an error that the device is full...

Setting up a home server

Well, I found out yesterday that the Plex Media server has totally flatlined on me... It is running, has resources, shows the library, but will NOT play any files at all. I checked the logs, found failures to write temp file errors in it. I tried rebooting the virtual guest, even the host...

Setting up a home server

I am not 100% sure if I did this correctly, but I BELIEVE I have my test guest system is now running from the ZFS pool. I need to read up more on hardlink and symbolic links to full grasp it though... ziggidy@VH-Ziggidy:~$ ziggidy@VH-Ziggidy:~$ sudo zfs create -o...

Setting up a home server

I have been trying to copy the VG systems from the guest itself to the /mnt/Storage/Backups ZFS system, but I am getting permissions errors. Needs more reading to get that sorted out. This would be to save Minecraft world save data frequently to the ZFS backup. I hadn't thought of running the...

Setting up a home server

I want to start off by thanking everyone for the assistance through this project, it has been GREAT!!! Work and family life has been busy, so I haven't had much time to tinker on the server. Things have been better this week, so yesterday I took the time to format the OS drive on the server...

Setting up a home server

Thank you for the heads up on that. Totally forgot. I had to alter the commands from zfs to zpool, but it worked like a champ!! ziggidy@Ziggidy-VH:~$ sudo zpool remove Storage ata-TOSHIBA_THNSNH256GBST_83IS10JLTE8Y-part1 ziggidy@Ziggidy-VH:~$ sudo zpool remove Storage...

Setting up a home server

Thank you for the info on IPMI, not sure if I will need any of that, as this is running in a basement in a house. My current out of band management is rotating my office chair to the close where this is and opening the door, LOL. I do agree that the current set up is a giant waste, but that is...

Setting up a home server

As for FreeBSD, I scrapped that idea, and am running Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 as the host OS currently. With the M1015, I was able to get it to IT mode I think about a week ago, so I am good there. I haven't quite gotten as far as looking for SMART info yet, not sure if there is any workaround...

Setting up a home server

Throwing in an additional quiestion about the virtual guests.... Would it be better to set up a folder inside of the zpool at /mnt/Storage/Virtual/<hostname> for each virtual host running on the server, or would it be better to have a separate drive, say a 500 Gig drive for the virtual guests...

Setting up a home server

I was working on the Zpool last night for ENTIRELY TOO LONG. I was up till nearly 02:30, so I only got about 3.5 hours of sleep.... JOY.... My issue was that the pool would create without issue, I could get the directories working, and visible from a computer on the network, but I couldn't...

Setting up a home server

Yes, that is the chassis, it is a SC826TQ-R800LPB. And that is the bezel as well, model MCP-210-82601-0B according to Supermicro's website. This will be racked in my house in the basement, so I want the bezel on there so that I can have some filter media between it and the chassis (hopefully) to...

Setting up a home server

I have made some significant progress with the server so far this week. DONE list: Verified that all 12 of the hot swap bays on the backplane work. Haven't moved data to drives in each slot yet, but verified that the drives are at least seen by the OS in each slot. Flashed IBM M1015 to run in...

Setting up a home server

The Here is the 22U HP server rack I picked up. It is on casters, so mobility is great should there ever be a need to move it. I am not in a HUGE rush, but a future project will be to cover the bottom space, likely with a thin sheet of plywood, or something like that, then to incorporate some...
