6. Pentium(R) dual Core CPU- E5200 2.50GHZ /800Mhz-Integrated Network RealTEk PCIGBE Family controllers. HP Model a6827C XD enabled.

   Getting error on VMware install- cannot load lvm driver. Any advice on what to do to get pass this error?

   • If this is ESXi 4.0 you need Intel or some broadcom gigabit ethernet cards. No support for Realtek.

8. How are you all finding deals on the ML110 G5 in the USA? I have not been able to find anything cheaper than US$500 for the model with the Xeon 3110…is this a good price?

9. […] Seagrave(@kiwi_si) who was meant to co host this session but couldn’t because of work commitments has a really great page on his site about the equipment they used and deals on equipment you could use for your own white box lab […]

10. The Lab Bundle seems pretty good for VMware. Has anybody tried XenServer, Hyper-V as well on these Machines?

    I would think they should readily work..but jsut in case if anybody has tried at all?

    • Hi Nookala,

      I’ve installed MS Hyper-V on both the ML110 and ML115 G5 and it worked just fine. I haven’t tried XenServer as yet though it is on the list of things to try.

      Hope this helps,

      Simon

      • Hey Simon,

        Thanks for the reply. I now have bought the bundle and VMWare works fine..
        Could not get FT to work..Neither could I understand why not..Did you have to tweak to make it work…?

        Will be trying out Hyper-v v2 today.

        Thanks for your reply again.

        cheers
        Nookala

        • Hi Nookala,

          Glad to hear VMware is working fine. You shouldn’t have to apply any tweaks to make it work – though I will start with the obvious: did you turn on AMD-V in the BIOS. It’s an easy one that has caught many people out. 🙂

          Check out this link or this one as these run through a few of the common problems found with enabling FT along with Roger Lunds set-up video.

          Let us know how you get on with Hyper-V R2. 🙂

          Cheers,

          Simon

11. Hi Simon,

    It took me a while to get back to the labs.Was busy with the last days of work!(A Freebird now…looking up contracts or consulting soon)

    Hyper V R 2 works fine too!(I have tested with the full installation, the core installation also seemed to work but I did get a stop error nvstor.sys so carried on with the full installation)

    Another thing, If I tried to use the HP CD for the installation of the full version R2, there is not a choice for 2008 R2 (Obvious as R2 shipped only in the recent few months),and also wouldnt mount the R2 DVD..

    So I quit the HP CD as soon as the drivers have been loaded, and then rebooted to continue with the R2 DVD itself!

    Cheers
    Nookala

    • Hi Nookala,

      Thanks for the update – good to hear there is a workaround with the Hyper-V R2 release – I will give it a go (hopefully sometime soon 🙂 )

      Good luck with the contracting and consulting – it should be a busy year for IT.

      Cheers,

      Simon

12. […] Hot Deals […]

13. Hi

    I’m about to purchase an ML110 G6 X3440 from serversplus.co.uk. Before I do I would like to ask if you have any hot deals coming up on servers.

    Thanks

14. […] has a discount code on about a month or two before your subscription expires, but you can easily find them online. Originally Posted by GREED Never looked into, but how much is technet […]

15. The Technet codes above no longer work (tried in US).

    • Don’t work in Uk either. They all expired at the end of October but so far I’ve not been able to find any updated codes.

      Hopefully some new ones will be out soon because I want to subscribe. Maybe someone out there will know when the next code is due..

16. I wanted to signup for a technet subscription so I could test server 2008 groove server etc during xmas… 🙁 anyone know of any working codes ?

    • Hi Ben,

      Unfortunately I’ve been unable to source any new Technet discount codes, though am hoping MS may release them for the start of 2011.

      Watch this space! 🙂

      Cheers,

      Simon

17. HP ProLiant MicroServer £100 Cashback Offer 1st December 2010 – 31st January 2011 – Offer Extended – http://h41112.www4.hp.com/promo/proliantmicroserver/index.html?jumpid=ex_r135_uk/en/smb/tsg/go_proliantmicroserver

    • Thanks Bjorn.

      What a good deal indeed! Looks like stock levels are getting low now. Shame these servers aren’t this price all the time. 🙂

      All the best,

      Simon

18. The HP £100 UK cashback deal has been extended through March 2011.
    ServerPlus have details as usual – http://www.serversplus.com/microserver_cashback

    The cheapest place I’ve found for the Microserver is currently Crescent Electronics at £221 inc VAT – http://www.crescentelectronics.co.uk/hp-proliant-n36l-1p-1gbu-int-sata-cold-plug-sata-2-xnto63372442170bd.html

19. I am selling my HP ProLiant ML330 G6 E5504 with 24GB RAM if anyone is interested in a high spec ESXi server:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300560631556

20. The N40L based microserver is £199.99 ex vat and qualifies for the £100 cashback!! After VAT (+20%), Free Delivery (+£0) and cashback (-£100) thats £140 which is a fantastic bargain.

    Why buy the slower model with 1GB RAM when you can get the (slightly) faster model with 2GB for almost the same price?

    I already have 2 of the older models and am looking for a third one – I am hoping the existing stock gets slashed by quite a bit or else I am getting this….

21. Oops… the TechNet discount code is only valid for Professional Subscriptions, not for the Standard ones…

    • Thanks for letting us know. I would recommend the Professional Subscription – it’s definitely worth the extra amount.

      Cheers,

      Simon

22. Found a good deal on some memory for the HP Micro servers – http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-023-OK

23. Hi Simon,

    Are you aware of any good deal for servers in India? Pls let me know. thank you.

24. Hi Simon,

    FYI the TNFLA12 technet discount code still works as I used it today on a Pro sub.

    Cheers

    Alex

25. Hi Simon,

    Serverplus, ebuyer and a few other resellers are offering the HP ML110 G7 for £384 less a £150 cashback from HP, which makes it £238.

    The server comes with a Xeon E3-1220 (4 core, 3.10 GHz, 8MB, 80W) and 2GB of RAM.

    Cheers,
    Augusto

    • Hi Augusto,

      Thanks for the heads-up on this cashback deal – I’ll add this to the ‘Hot Deals’ page.

      Cheers,

      Simon
