Let's assume I have all that... 25GBit NIC/Switch etc. I just would like to know if the Keystone Module (CAT8.1) and the cable (CAT7a) would be able to achieve the 25GBit since I cannot find anything about the intercompatibility online...

Hi everyone I was wondering whether it'd be possible to use CAT7A S/FTP 1200MHz network cabling in combination with a CAT8.1 Keystone module in order to achieve 25GBit Ethernet? Has anybody ever tried that or is it just impossible?

Sorry for the late answer, didn't get round to it earlier Yes it's actually kind of hard to read, but I'll try nevertheless.. I'm afraid, I am not aware of a program/protocol doing so.. But yes to the rest As far as I know, yes. Not sure what you mean by overloading? -> Yes, it's no load balancing. Only if the first record times-out and then the protocol/application uses the second, it's somewhere between load-balancing and fault tolerance... It is the only way I'm aware of. Yes, but I'm still wondering why you'd want to load balance on your DNS, though... No without Round Robin I wouldn't recommend doing that at all. Yes, if you need multiple A Records then use Round Robin. But I still wonder what your particular scenario is?

Interesting question! Well basically all of them. The DNS would deliver all of the IP's to the requesting program. Let's say your using a browser for now. The browser would then just take the first IP and ignore the rest... Which is probably not what you want. As stated here what you could do is a Round Robin configuration (see here) Then you'd basically get DNS Loadbalancing, which has its drawbacks (just read the link concerning Round Robin)

Depending on the manufacturer of the new SSD you might be able to get a ssd migration tool from their site. Otherwise consider using a cloning software.

You don't happen to know a trustworthy shop for within Europe by any chance? Because so far I haven't seen one... Thanks in advance!

The card would be: HP Smart Array P410i

Hi everyone I recently got my hands on an used HPE ProLiant DL380 G7 and am now considering to upgrade the existing sas HDD's with consumer sata SSD's. Do you know if that is possible ?

In my experience those are in general more reliable

Agreeing with @Electronics Wizardy I'd recommend you installing a HyperVisor like ESXi on there. On what you've told us about your plans I'd recommend to go out and buy something a bit newer which then could be capable of running several VM's. PS: Since you are just interested in learning you might want to consider renting a root server at some hoster(depending on time/money you want to spend)

Hi @Bacon soup I wouldn't use windows raid. if you have a hardware raid card, use that one, else I'd stick with the motherboard

I'd recommend WinSetupFromUSB, let's you add windows and linux quite comfortably Uses Grub4Dos as bootloader, but you should be able to change that

Hi Stewe regarding your problem: This error message appears because of the partition which is already on the hard drive. Just delete it. Since you bought your notebook without OS there can't be any necessary data on there. Before you can install format the complete drive and you are good to go. Regarding the drivers: YOu can find them at the download section of lenovo after your installation. Sidenote: In case your notebook is kind of slow, you might want to swap out your internal HDD with a SSD (shouldn't be more than 50€ for 120GB) - it will give you significantly more performance!

Hi SovietBroski as with all old tech the first issue usually is the hard drive itself. So my first question is: Which kind of hard drive did you have lying around? (SSD or HDD?) In order to further assist you with your issues I'd need you to tell me the exact specs of your server. Afterwards I'll gladly assist you in determining whether an upgrade makes sense or you should save your money for something else.... For compatible hardware refer to: Server Sidenote: Whilst taking a look in the "task manager" you might want to find out which component is running at 100% and creating a bottleneck.. Fun fact: I created my LTT account just right now to answer for this post, so hope I can help!
