Pretty solid machine, better than new generation of HP server in terms of build quality! Also a old 2950 switch behind!
Having some fun on an old DL380 G6

What? I can’t hear you over that airplane.

Did you work on one of those, because it's pretty silent, fans at around 13-15% when using the right drives

I moved up to G8s a while back. 3 DL360G8 for ESXi hosts, and a DL380G8 for TrueNAS SAN host. Downgraded one of the old ESXi hosts (360G7) to backup server. With 5 servers running, it's not quiet. One running isn't that loud, but I wouldn't want it on a common space still :)

Have you installed the fan controller hacked firmware on those?
Plus, 360 are 1u right? So it's a bit more noizy yeah

I did not change the systems in anyway other than any HP firmware updates I could get to most current.
360 is dual socket 1U. 380 is dual socket 2U. 580 is quad socket 4U

I can hear this picture.

Just be cautious that the HP backplane can sometimes reject non-hp drives at random with a sensor error for a sensor that doesn't exist...
Krafting@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Yeah, I tested some SATA hard drive and it seems to ramp up the fans... compared to when I use the included SAS drives which is pretty silent.

Mine rejected sata ssds with something like sensor 41 overheating but that sensor doesn't exist...
Krafting@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Was there a message somewhere ? On ilo? Where did you find out about this sensors?
30021190@lemmy.cloud.aboutcher.co.uk · 1 pts · 2y
The server refused to boot and the ILO logs reported the error. It's a false sensor 31.

Oh wow, yeah weird, my server boot fine with sata and sas hdd (even when mixed) and there are no errors, maybe you got a really weird or broken sata drive? or maybe I got lucky with my drives ?

Mine worked for months and then one day just never worked again. I have 6 of them as a test cluster for work, only 4 ever went weird. All the same drives, bios etc etc
