My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.
You always put a smile on my face with new server videos, looking forward to more videos on this one and also the new IBM BladeCenter.
Hi lundhM How rude!! :-) here I try to be very very very much serious,, The BladeCenter video will be comming tomorrow, it's bedtime here now.
Thank you for watching! :-)
The DL380 G6/7 are amazing servers.
Hi Roy Chartier
Thank you for watching! :-)
i'm about to place two Proliants in my rack - they are DL380 G7, but the rails are pretty much the same - very nice video mate, greetings from your bro in Brazil : )
Best of luck!
Love the channel, great quality content... but the name never fails to creep me out!
Hi Agion Labs
Thank You very much! If I ever want to go into the porn business, I would not have to change the name :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I find it very educational. Great job!
thank you man! Salve from Brazil!
You're welcome!
Very interesting video!!!!
Thank you,, this was pretty long ago!
Great video as always! I really enjoy your Server/ESXi videos and am looking forward to more videos on the newly acquired hardware. I just recently mounted my first DL380 G7 for a local library and will be setting it up with ESXi soon. I hope to see more videos of you exploring the ins and outs of your DL380.
Hi +tmkn81
I do most of my videos on Lenovo servers or old IBM´s, i am more of a Lenovo fan,,, i do some HP/DELL videos when i find something interesting. But i will have your request in mind :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Another great video Morten! I enjoyed seeing how the rails are installed in the rack. Sorry you lost some blood getting them out of the other rack. Looking forward to the Bladecenter video. A big thumbs up for you sir!
eric
Hi epd807
Yes the BladeCenter video is 3/4 edited,, and will be uploaded to night,,my time GMT+1Getting dismantled those rack rails was a bloody mess :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
The fans sound so weird when the video is sped up lol as always. love the video!
Hi +Nevexo (computercam)
Maybe there are flies in that server :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Im just leaving the realm of DL380s (G5s) and just currently configuring some DL160s G9s. These are pretty good machines, 1U units, I have dual 6 core cpus in them with 96Gb ram running Xen center they blow my 380s out of the water.
HI +Emexrulsier
I am playing with a Lenovo x3850 X6 rigth now,, newest videos,, and that server outpreformed 9 IBM x3650 M1 servers,, it is a beast.
Xen Citrix servers?
Thank you for watching! :-)
That server really is a beast lol, maxed out it's a bit over kill for my use :D. I a also kinda moving away from vmware going towards Xen as I prefer there dedicated gpu and HA capability
Wonderful thank you so much. Very informative.
Hi Wasif Bhatti
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I was hoping for the part where you remove the rails :(
Sorry You missed that :-)
@@MyPlayHouse I can't even remember.... that was so long ago haha
Nice video as usual, can't wait for the new Bladecenter video. Anyways, why would you bother to rack mount a server just to test drives? Couldn't you either have tested the drives in your servers or else keep the server on a table?
Hi Jeremy Scalpello
You are absolutely right,, I could have done that. But I had planned that it should be installed, and this was a good excuse.
Yes,, the IBM Bladecenter video is next on my Edit list,,,,right now i am uploading anothere one on disk trays,, it will be on line in 20 min + - some :-) here : ruclips.net/video/dGgmIqWmy5M/видео.html
What are you up to? :-)
Thank you for watching! :-) as always..
I enjoy your videos very much, just one question though. How confident are you with plugging cheap dollar peripherals into thousand dollar servers.
HI
There is always a chance it will damages you server. but it is small and I have gotten a way with a lot of stuff.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Drive 1-2-4-5 i think are all good there just flashing cause one there weren't in a RAID and two you had just installed them. Also when changing settings the LED will change based on what drive the setting are changing.
Hi +Shad0w_General
Thank you for your information. Do you have this HP dl380G6?
Thank you for watching! :-)
I have 3 HP Servers one a DL360 G4 and two DL380 G4's And from what I know the Raid works the exact same way.
Nice servers! I recently got aN DL380 G5 for free. 8GB ram, 2x Xeon 5140, 2x146GB Sas, 1x500GB Sata :). Also came with an advanced iLO license.
HI
Nice, do do think you can put in a couple of Xeon 54xx series and get a lot more out of it.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Was planning on doing that, thanks for the suggestion! First gonna get some disks, and some RAM :)
Hi Osumo Ben Lodan
New Toys :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse Just got my RAM! 32GB, for only 70$ :)
Thank you for creating these video's!
HI Osumo Ben Lodan
Good luck !
Thank you for watching! :-)
Whats the server rack size you used to mount it I am currently looking for a small server cabinet
Mine is 19" all server racks are and then it is 42U high.
great job sir
Hi +Vivek Prajapati
Thank you for watching! :-)
Huh. I'm wondering, what do you use those servers for? Are they for business, web hosting, file storage, or something else?
I also have an HP ProLiant DL380 G6. What can I use it for?
I'm kind of new to the channel, and I only came here from Brainiac75's magnets, sorry if I haven't seen a video where all of this is explained.
Hi Lance Stinson
I do get this question from time to time, so I have added it to my F.A.Q. that you can check out under the "about" tab here on my channel. I give a longer answer there.

@@MyPlayHouse That is REALLY cool, not gonna lie.
I guess the adapter worked because it uses the correct protocol for your server so, you were just lucky.
HI +Joao Borralho
Probably just luck :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Do these rails work with a threaded screw style server rack? Those locking pins will not fit. I saw another video where they appear to be removable so that you can replace the locking pin with a screw to mount the rail to the server rack. Any info would be appreciated!
Sorry I do not know.
Wait, you are supposed to just snap the rails in the rack? Damn I've screwed them in and lost my mind because it was a very tight fit with the rack in between those screws...
Depends on the rails,, some are toolless! :-)
nice video again Morten :) to bad the disk was so bad as they where. no use for them just sending them back as you did :P
Hi Daniel Olsson
I needed to send two back,, so it was actually quite nice that there were two bad, so I did not have to send two good ones back.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Hi Matias Vartiainen
I'm just a little curious,, what does Öäö, Daniel. mean? Google translator says "Zz, Daniel." I would freely interpret that to,, go to bed Daniel :-?
Thank you for watching! :-)
Would love to get this, would also be good as a render server if you had four 36 core Xenon chips and as much memory as it will take.
Hi +DAVID GREGORY KERR
Well this "older" G6 can "only" take the Xeon series 55xx and 56xx,, with a max of 6 cores per CPU. So max 24 cors with Hyper-Threading. But Yes it ia still a really nice server,,really really nice :-)
What do you play around with?
Thank you for watching! :-)
Hello, Further to having watched several of your excellent X3650 tutorial videos I'd really like to buy an X3650 however finding a supplier that has some available in excellent to mint condition is proving to be very nearly impossible (unless a considerable amount (that I've not got at my disposal) is spent). Would you consider a HP DL380 to be a good 'starting block' for getting into virtualisation running ESXi please? Understand the latter are generally cheaper to buy. Thank you for your comments.
Hi Buildfromscratch
I am a Lenovo/IBM fan boy,,, but HPE DL380 G6+ is my second brand choice. So if you can´t find a x3650,, it also good to get an HPE.
Thank you for watching! :-)
What did you mean by exchanging the bad drives? They were second-hand right ? Can you send them back to the vendor and get new ones for a discount or something like that ?
Hi Raptor @gmail.com
They was a mix of good and bad drives, that I got for free.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Hello. Cool video man. One question how much is your light bill to run all those servers??

I am looking at getting started with home server stuff, what would you recommend for being quiet and semi-cheap for the US? I am going to buy one or two for ESXI and one for FreeNAS
Hi +Nick Rudd
I am the biggest Fan of the IBM x3650 M1,, it´s really cheap and it is an awesome server! search my channel for IBM x3650 M1, and you are on your way :-)

Hello Morten. I have a question. Can i rent a Minecraft Server in your House. I dont need a lot of power. (Only 4GB RAM and a Quadcore CPU)
HI
I am not ready for that,, that is a dream of mine,, but I am not there :-( yet.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Ok. I hope your dream will soon come true. Interest I had.
@Noname2014
You don't want to have a Minecraft Server hosted in a house with a home internet connection that is typically bad.
Instead you want to have a Minecraft Server hosted in a datacenter with an internet connection directly connected to a big internet node.
And one more thing. You also definitely don't want to manage the server on your own, instead you want have a gameserver that is managed by IT professionals. Reason: You don't want to pay a bill of > $ 50000 in the case of a compromised and misused server that goes amok and harming other servers on the internet.
OpenGL4ever Well no reason for me to paint the devil on the wall, you did that for me :-) But every big internet service is moving data centers to Denmark at the moment,, and I do like to get in on the action :-)
My PlayHouse
Ping time is important in games. I rather rent a server in Frankfurt Germany than in Denmark. Reason, it's closer to me.
But if you live in Denmark, go for a server in Denmark.It will be okay.
Nice Video as Allways find you're Videos very Educational too ;-)
I run a Game server on my ML350G4p (6gig ram) and i have a SGI 1100 (dual P3) Server i am going to be using for my PFsense Firewall
My Friend is upgradeing his Home Datacenter and i'll be geting his Older Good servers.
So will be able to start playing with EsxI also etc.
Hi +Phillip “Tech N' Gameing” Hardy
The ML350G4p and SGI 1100 are now older servers that are fun to play with, but they are now more or less an expensive power to heat converter these days :-) You will benefit a lot from going to ESXi.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Hi Morton,
I have a question about this Server. Do you know how much power the Server is drawing in idle? I have to buy a new Server as quick as possible because my old Dell poweredge r610 has a broken mainboard. In my country (germany) i can not find ibm 3650m3( this server i would Love to have) for a good price. So I found an HP DL380G6 for a decent Price.
I will use the Server for VM Ware but I dont wanna have to pay much for my electricity bill.
Hope you can help me on that
Regards
Niclas
Hi TechNET98
It all comes down to CPU, RAM and HDD,, and what power mode you run the server in,,,, CPU's goes from like 40w to 150W-ish and every stick of RAM can be 4-5w and HDD like 4-8W... but the HP dl380G6 is not bad,, and I hear that it is low noise... But Lenovo x3650 if you want something that does not brake. :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
2 Stupid questions how do I attach the EquailLogic to the PowerEdge.
How do I set up a raid card in a HP ProLiont DL380
It's an iSCSI SAN, it's not a DAS,, it connects using iSCSI. and Raid is setup on the EquailLogic..
Ok thank you
What about the raid card in the HP. The card is p410i. What happened was I was swapping drives it bays around and accidentally unplug all the cables from the card
My PlayHouse i’m sorry for sounding like a pain I’m very new to the whole home lab scene.
For the EquailLogic i’ve downloaded all of the Dell software that was needed but it was still not showing up on my network. What do I do to get it to show ( like what’s The default IP address for it)
Do you know what you paid for this server? And what cpu's are in there?
(Sorry if I didnt look very good)
+PROSHOOTERNL
These CPU´s www.ebay.com/itm/HP-PROLIANT-DL380-G6-2x-INTEL-XEON-E5530-QUAD-CORE-2-4GHZ-24GB-2x146GB-10K-SAS-/262050534466?hash=item3d036dd442

how often do you use the HP DL380 G6? I know you perfer IBM. I'm looking at getting G6 as its in my price range is it worth it? I hear there loud is that the case?
Hi +Doomed ForLife
I am not the right one to ask,,yes i am for Lenovo,,and i have not had this HP on since i made this video.
Thank you for watching! :-)
So I got my DL380 G6 just thought I'd let you know. This thing is so fast compared the G5 line.
Nice,Doomed ForLife
I am getting to borrow a Lenovo x3850 X6, for 14 days,,next week,,, that is a beast.
Good luck,, the G6 is where the fun starts :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
This G6 is a beast compared to the G5. It's def quiter than the G6 after flashing the firmware to the latest. Can;t wait too see your video on the X6.. :)
Hi Doomed ForLife
What CPU are in the G5? 54xx or 55xx?
I am also looking forward to playing with the Lenovo x3850 X6,,, it´s heavy as,,helllllll though. :-)

Why don't you run the servers for BOINC projects........... all that computing cpower would significantly add to their resources......and you might just save the universe too.

Xeon 5100 through 5400 systems tend to be very picky about the RAM configuration. Most use the PC2-5300 FB-DIMMs with the metal heat spreaders on them.
Vet ej om du läser detta inlägg men vad skall du med alla servrar till? då jag ej vet bakgrunden så undrar jag..:)...själv har jag precis skaffat en HP dl380p Gen8 för hemma nätverks bruk samt jag kör MAC os med och deras server..Tack annars för intressant video det ser maffigt ut med alla servrar..:)

@@MyPlayHouse Sorry i will do that and also i want to say i like and enjoy your videos and i learn much from them and now when i bought a HP proliant DL380P Gen 8 i learn more...Thanks and greatings from Sweden,,
In case someone will se my comment. So basically I I found the DL380E G8 server to be the perfect home server with nas capabilities (12xLFF hdd). But I use fujitsu servers currently and I dont know nothing about hp servers. If someone has ever played with the 380p or 380e editions (gen8) I want to get some answers for the following question.
1. Are the server loud?
2. How is the noise?
3. How is the power consumption
4. Do they freak out if i install non hp hardware?

the hp dl380 uses far less power then those banger ibm servers. Better PSU aswell less heat and power usage.
