Im sure we have had this discussion today

personally I would setup a VM with Cent-OS on it. I find windows a lot harder to host things then linux

No problem mate Do you know if that raid card will work with a 16bit raiser card?

Ta, I have a feeling you wont have any..

That would be great. Any ETA/price on this? wanting to get it in my hand for Thursday

In all honesty i dont know the age off the top of my head. 2008 maybe? I have a 16x riser card in there... Thats what's confusing the hell out of me. Iv been advised to look at these PCIe SATA 3.0 Controller Card - 6gbps | 2 port | StarTech.com United Kingdom Think it might work?

Hi Guys. I'm looking for a raid card for my IBM x3455. Looking to mirror 2 500GB WD drives. I spend 3 hours looking for a on-board raid the other day and found nothing. Cheap as possible. I don't want to speak £200 on a raid card. Any advice would be great. (I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Raid cards). Cheers Rick

That didnt work

Twonky ftw. Plays anything I want really. I have it streaming to PS3 and media box's around the house. Even got it working with my phone at one point. Twonky I had twonky streaming to 11 devices last year all watching different things without any lag on a 100mbps nic.

Thanks! Ill give this a shot when i get home. Do you know of any other PXE systems with a panel for linux?

See, Thats another question for you. Can you deploy an image without capturing it? So put Centos.iso into the image folder and deploying that?

It is linux. I hope its able to do it? Centos 6.4

Thanks Ashm, I take it this is for the FOG server yeah? Just want to double check, Save me some research Update: Thanks Again Ashm. kitchenSkin. worked a charm. Just ran into another problem: fog invalid operating system id linux 50 Any ideas?

I tried a updated version. Should i work my way down?

Hi People. Iv got FOG running on a VM on my main machine (VM) while i test it out on my network. I have everything working DHCP wise but for some reason i cant seem to do anything on the FOG PXE screen. If i try register the server it just freezes. When i try upload an image i get this problem: Photo: Any ideas guys? Rick

Day off work.. Home alone.. Time to play dayz

Thanks for the input, Ill look into this more. For the power consumption, we try get all our servers to use under 1amp. I think the best bet is adding up all hard drive idle power usage. I would of thought they use the most when spinning up.

Thanks Dhicks, Ill look into that further. We are aiming around £65-80pm for 4GB ram, 2 x 120GB drives and 1TB bandwidth a month hosted in Sheffield DC. Prices are not finalized yet but i cant see them moving.

I used to sell VPS servers, Moving into the dedicated server side of things now. Hence why i want to be able to reinstall them remotely. Thinking about it.. What would the disadvantage of using FOG be?

Thanks Squeeky, But i dont really understand, I am planning on letting out dedicated servers not VPS's. Would Hyper-V or esx-i be able to do that to dedi's or just VPS's?

Hi guys, Me and a friend of mine are planning on colo'ing a few servers and renting them out. We have just about everything in place apart from one thing. OS deployment on request. Is there a way to deploy a OS (Linux) inside a data centre from a server or a panel? i was thinking FOG but I'm not 100% sure its going to work in a Data centre environment. We would like to get a request to reinstall the server via ticket/email, press a few buttons and off it goes. No need to go to the data centre and do it manually? Is there a free/cheap way of doing this or is my fuel costs going to sky rocket with trips to the DC?

I had this problem. Try adding the person you want to share to from the address book instead of typing the email

Now that's a service and a half.... And only 3-4 min drive from my house

You can get them from ebay for around £2 a pair. Iv got some at home. Havent tested them yet but cant complain for the price.
