Oh. So your idea of warm in January is like 40. It was in the mid 80s last weekend in Southern California.

Just added a pi-hole to the network.
Have you had issues with the pi-hole web interface like other people have?

Having a delightful conversation with the SW's mods. .

Just how delightful? Like I think it is?

Doesn't happen on install, happens after you update it.

Trying to figure out which RAM to get for my two R720XDs. I only have 64GB (8 dual rank DIMMs, 4, for each CPU) in each and want to get to at least 128GB, which should by me at least another year.

Got it. I was assuming he had deployed and managed it elsewhere.

Are you really needing to double your RAM? What Vm's do you have running on here?

I am almost at almost 80 % on each. I need some room for growth and also to allow me to migrate to the other, in the event of hardware failure, upgrade, hypervisor patching,etc.

ballooning / dynamic memory or whatever your hypervisor supports active? Can help.

Oh nice utilization. If you're only hoping to get another year out of these systems would you be better suited looking at just getting larger servers?
I'm not sure what the RAM would cost, but I'd imagine you're going to want to get all the same stuff, which will likely cost a bit.
As a tip check out xByte they sell RAM and likely can sell you a full kit.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, I will be getting new servers. I probably won't be doing new servers until next year. I do have an old R710 that is also running ESXi with a few VMs on it that is EOL in a week or 2. It will be replaced first, then I will get at least one identical server later on.

ESXi 6U3 on all 3 of my hosts. I will be retiring and replacing an EOL and off HCL R710 soon allowing me to go to 6.5

Sorry. I plan on using it to setup KVM or something to play with.

Thanks, Provantage. $952.25 for 128 GB of legit DELL RAM, Shipped. 16x8GB (DELL part number A6996808). The only thing that kinda sucks is that because I am in CA, they have to do a weird roundabout shipping to their Ohio warehouse first, then out to me.
