Still off topic. If you dont have anything constructive to say, why bother to comment? What are you, a danish troll or something? ?

 

**PS: this applies pretty much to all of your replies so far.

I've given you constructive advice, but all the time it's can't do that, can't do this, I can only do it this way. I'm also not Danish, I have already told you that I'm from the UK.

 

Don't forget it's you who asked for help. Good luck with your project and please post updates as it will be interesting how you get on :)

My general question was about 1 thing. Which OS would you recommend using on this HPE hardware. You gave advice on pretty much everything else, totally off topic. I've checked 4 times and this is still the titel and still my question. I wanted to know if people have experience in using this hardware with which OS.

 

As sad, recently I didn't have time to install windows 10 on it, but i've already googled, for some people drivers are a problem. But also read that the prototype of this had no problems with windows 10, so might be that the final product had some hardware changes in between. I will confirm once I've installed it.

 

BTW. ESXi was working fine on it, but as people recommended, if not really needed, then it's a cannot shooting at pigeon, so that why I've changed to rather use rather a barebone OS. Also the Marvell RAID is not support in ESXi, which is a bummer. :( Or did anybody manage to get RAID setup in ESXi?

I understand that the original point was "Which OS would you recommend" but I did answer on the fact that you would have issues no matter what OS you installed on the device.

 

I hope this does not come across as being rude or offensive, but you do come across as a novice and the HPE hardware are not for novices, that's why I recommended it might be a good idea to look for hardware where you could easily install an OS without having all these issues to deal with. It's called the KISS principal (Keep It Simple Stupid)

So I have the older Gen8 and have a similar set up to you. 

 

Disk 5 has the OS and the other 4 are in a RAID config. It is a bit of a pain to install, because you have to install a few drivers before hand and then go into the regular Windows installation. 

 

Looking at your use cases (file and media server) this is what I do and have no issues with the Windows set up and it's stable as hell. 

 

I used Home Server Show a lot when looking at issues - https://homeservershow.com/forums/topic/10769-problems-installing-windows-10/ for example has some good tips on how to install Windows. 

 

With regards to VPN and VLAN...not really my domain so can't comment :)

A lot has changed since the Gen8, the Gen10 is way more problematic and the link only refers to Gen8, for Gen10 see: https://homeservershow.com/forums/forum/201-microserver-gen-10/

Ah and here's me thinking that it was mainly just a hardware refresh!

Don't worry, i made the same mistake, because bought it right away, shortly after release I've managed to get one for 200EUR and thought it's a bargain, because the Gen8 is even more expensive. ?

You must have had your Gen10 for a long while now then, as it was released back in July 2017

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
