IMPI, ILO or IDRAC pulls like 5-10 Watts on Idle. We have some older Servers for testing in our Office Rack and as we are in Germany, we pull the plugs too when not using them.
Ceph probably is a good idea, but as far as TrueNAS and ZFS, I used to run multiple zvols but eventually moved to a single zvol with RAIDZ3 because I found it increased my available storage by reducing the number of drives used for redundancy but while increasing the actual redundancy. Then anytime I needed to replace a drive I just replaced it with the largest drive I could buy at a reasonable cost. Since I was replacing the non-nas drives fairly often I was able to increase the storage space fairly quickly.
So after making this video I gave ceph a try. I set up a 3 node proxmox cluster, used the proxmox ceph solution and then exposed it through a VM. It worked, but it took several days to move 5 TB onto the cluster and I never got it to a completely green status with a couple lingering placement group errors. It was pretty cool to see it working, but old commodity hardware and 1GB ethernet doesn't seem like a recipe for success. I figured I'd end up fighting with ceph so I just bailed and went back to a couple of truenas instances running on proxmox. Not as interesting as ceph, but it gets the job done, even with the extra pools.
I'm running an UNRAID server soon to be remote backup for my Windows server which has been running since 2015. Also in process of setting up TrueNAS Scale for local backup. ProxMox server for exploring Linux distros and other wishful projects. Recently bought a Unifi switch to mate with pfsense router. Entire network being upgraded as well as upgrading Windows 2012 server to 2022. Lots of machines running; I think they are actually reproducing on their own.
Hi @rohde782 I think he means not 56 cores but 56 threads (28 per cpu) and the server has 2x14 cores = 28 cores.... It would be cool if @SonoranTech-hf5hf could clarify this ;)
6 months ago I had a wife and kids and a happy life, then I started homelabbing. . .

appreciate the overview

My u6 mesh aps are also extremely hot to the touch. I have 4 aps each broadcasting 4 wireless networks and they’re all very hot
I think I measured 130 degrees!

Nice. Unraid looks interesting because it can handle mixed size drives, but I'm not so thrilled with the licensing model.
Do you run an illegal drug marketplace on the darknet with HomeLab?
Im pretty sure you meant "dell 730xd" not 370xd
Also I believe the max core count on this server is 22 cores per cpu giving you 44 cores.
Yep 730xd, my mistake.
