    One disk servers, such risk. That's the only thing holding me back.

    Also struggling now...the disk space is a bigger issue for me however....

    I have tried too many times and still cannot install Windows server on my WSI server. I have tried with all template of joodle and my own template with pre-installed network driver, still cannot boot, sigh... :(

    @MarkTurner: that's what DC staff for. Attaching 4 GB ISO using ancient IE version with deprecated Java because nothing else work properly with all this old DRACs and other iLOs is dubious pleasure.. ;).

    I guess they don't provide IPMI for these cheap servers.....

    There is a knack to it ;) But it starts with not using IE and mounting media on ILO via the Java applet is not the way to do it for best performance.

    Was able to load Windows on my $49 server by changing the post request for the OS reload to that of the value for the more expensive servers.

    @andrewn said:

    In the server control panel theres an option called "Reload Operating System", this takes you to a page with dropdowns. On this page in chrome you can edit the element and set one of the values to "OCS - Windows 2008 English Enterprise (Evaluation)" (i replaced ubuntu), then submit the edited one and it will reload it with Windows.

    Yeah I can assume the code side hasn't been implemented for the other operating systems, but I assumed it would work since its technically the same machine. (Just less RAM/drive space), although you need to allocate the leftover 190~gb since it only assigns 30-40gb to the Windows drive.

    Nirvana said: Why not selling more configurations with SSD + HDD? It's always useful if you have some extra storage space.

    True. It has to do mainly with product life cycle. a 2TH HDD costs me just as much as a 240GB SSD but the SSD is going to last me a good 4 years (life cycle, maybe not the hardware itself) where as the 2TB HDD is going to unwanted in a year. Especially with the rate at which SSD prices are falling.

    There will be dual disk options in the next week or so if you want to wait. Dual 240s, 480s and 960s.

    Someone just hadn't clicked the checkbox for those OS'. As long as they're the same platform the images will work.

    @AaronW

    Just want to make sure its OK for me to have installed Windows the way I did haha?

  • windytime90windytime90 Member

    AaronW said: On which config?

    It's $10 box with E5300 CPU. Network card is Intel 82574L. I have tried to make my own template with driver support for this network card but no luck. I even don't know what I'm wrong. lol

  • andrewnandrewn Member

    @AaronW any chance for Windows support on these $10 servers?

    You can try do what I said above, but change the option to "E3 - Windows 2012 English Standard (Evaluation)" or " HP - Windows 2008 English Standard (Evaluation)"

    I already tried that:) no luck.

    Ah I assume sadly their default ISO's dont have the driver for the 82574L :(

    I have made my own template and add 82574L driver, still no luck. Didn't know why.:D

    Here is my thought, grab one of these 49 bucks server (or something cheaper with a proper KVM), and mount this 10 bucks server as an iScsi target (https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/iscsi-initiator.html), now you get a very powerful computational server and a large HDD storage (500GB if you have C2D). With the 1Gbit connection (I hope) there won't be too much lagging.

    Now the question for @AaronW is if internal traffic is counted, if not then this plan would be perfect.

    The other idea is to get them to replace the network card...however I am not sure if WSI is willing to go through that much trouble for probably a buck or two of monthly profit.

    I think I'm lucky here. Get 750 GB instead of 500 GB.

    Is this really 100 Mbps unmetered @AaronW ? The speedtest is over 100 Mbps....
