I have opened a ticket (#942128) to load custom ISO for the server.
Thanks so much.
Already gone...? I tried to order but seems like coupon expired.

Some of us ordered 25+ servers
Oh my bad, arrived late to the party.
This is the cheapest colo offer for 100mbps dedi you'll ever find on LET.
The clever ones will have ordered/shipped the drives already.
Be sure you're not buying the 15mm high SMR drives that keep showing up in new external hdds these days.
hi storage config: 6TB in RAID5 (4x2TB)
hi performance config : 4TB in RAID10
Plus, with ECC ram( @cociu kindly confirm this) , I'd skip the RAID card and run ZFSoLinux directly on host OS . (max version 0.7.6 or 0.7.8 when it releases this week, not 0.7.7)
Sauce:
I don't think his server can take 15mm 2.5inch. Most likely 9mm max which is 2TB.
Correct. (seagate backup plus slim 2TB is PMR, so shuck them maybe)
My 2TB plus Slim had Samsung disk inside. lightweight.
Hello,
I have also opened support ticket #967753 to load ISO/OS Installation.
yes , all gone.
Do you already have an idea how to bypass the onboard RAID controller? On my server even the single SAS disk shows up as HP logical volume. And so far there is no direct iLO access to the server.
Probably this isn't correct, but at least here somebody said "HP SFF (2.5") drives are up to 15mm height". I do not know. Maybe the 15mm are including the tray itself.
Does anybody have access to a HP DL360 G6 and a 15mm drive to check whether it fits or not? Of course 15mm height would be much more flexible.
Interesting. I could not find an internal 2.5" drive with 2TB, <10mm height and PMR myself so far. Do you know which actual drive is mounted in the mentioned USB drive?
Not exactly the most reliable source, but I had a look at some of these HPE Enterprise HDDs on sale and they seem to have +/- 15mm height.
Failed to order too
sound good, intersted nice offers dude
In case somebody else also had luck to snatch one of these servers but struggled with only less than 1 Mbps network troughput: Check your network link with ethtool. Mine only negotiated to 100 with half-duplex which lead to spurious collisions on the ethernet link.
Solution:
and add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces to manually configure the ethernet link to 100/full during boot without autoneg.
At least for me this successfully solved my problem. Maybe somebody else might also be patched to a switch lacking autoneg.
Nice box so far. I'll now have to think about which HDDs to order and try to find some used RAM to upgrade. Regarding the RAM, I'd guess PC3-10600R (DDR3-1333, Registered, ECC) is what we need. @cociu, can you confirm what exact type of RAM is currently installed? Regarding the HDDs please share if somebody was able to test a 15mm HDD and if disks >2TB can be passed to OS, preferably with AHCI and without RAID controller (for ZFS and SMART).
yes this ram is ok. About hdd is support maximum 9 mm
So, what would you recommend, LET?
Looks like there are currently no 2.5" 2TB 9mm non-SMR drives on the market.
On the other hand, building a RAIDz1 (=RAID5) pool with three disks in this server to store mainly backup data shouldn't probably be a severe problem even for SMR drives.
Any recommendations? I'd say ST2000LM015 (70 EUR / 2TB) should be fine.
Got any OVZ deals? Need as minimal resources as possible!
@dfroe - Can you change the disk to JBOD in the raid controller?
Same problem is on CentOS 7 OS. If anyone running it, perform these steps:
nmcli d -- check for green line which should be active ethernet device. In my case it was device "enp2s0f0" (very unusual, usually it is eth0).
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp2s0f0 -- at the end of file add this line:
ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
Now you will easily push 95 Mbps out of 100 Mbps.
Other strange issues bothered me constantly:
vi /etc/resolv.conf
Now set nameserver from 127.0.0.1 to 8.8.8.8
All in all - I grabbed 2 boxes and in general satisfied what I get at this price!
hi @cociu
so i think the its sold out , need one
any chance for 1st time customer ?
Don't think so. I cannot check because there is no iLO access. But from my experience with (at least those older) HP RAID controllers, there is no possibility to bypass them. Best one can do with 4 HDDs is to create 4x RAID0 arrays when using OS-based solutions like ZFS. Should be okay for cold storage with SMR drives.
unfortunatly some of our client was not understand what meen 3 days for delivery and "please do not open tikets in this time" so we have faced with many tikets. All this will be back to normal this weekend.
Will you add the option to control the server thru client area also to the servers you sold in your previous offer? (reboots, reinstalls)
Ciient area and website is unreachable more than 4 hours already. Any problems @cociu ?
For me, it's loading fine
If anyone need, I have 2 servers for transfer. PM me if you interested.
ah ... thanks for point this . Just resolved... we are under atack due of some disputes here in LET. Now is all working.
Your panel is down so I can't put a ticket in now, but are these supposed to be 8GB ram or 4GB? I ordered one a few days back and got 4GB, opening post here says 8GB though.
Yeah that definitely fixed it for me, thanks.
