I have a similar setup with my 2 HPE dl380. 1 with a netapp. And the other a Lenovo.
I wouldn’t mind throwing in a dell, just to learn something new. Is there plenty of resources for the R510 like there is with the 380’s?
What software do you run to make it a nas?
I'm running Trunas. I've been using it for many years, and it's been an fantastic solution for me.
As far as resources, what do you mean? It's an older server, so Google is your friend for sure. But I've had zero issues sourcing parts that I may have needed.
Excellent!
Yeh, I meant parts and drivers and firmware and whatnot.
Yeah, drivers and firmware are readily available... Just know they aren't updated at all. Basically update to whatever the latest versions are, and then run it.
My only complaint is with idrac. After getting a supermicro server. It's impi is a much better experience than idrac... But.... That aside, I jabe zero complaints with my r510.
Awesome. There’s my next project.
Yeh HP‘s ilo isn’t great either.
