***: amdprophet has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) plett: That reminds me, does anyone know of any desktops that do have IPMI, or similar. I remember seeing demo videos of people VNCing into the bios of an Intel vPro machine, but that technology doesn't seem to have reached the real world up_the_irons: i think supermicro desktops have ipmi ant: my laptop has vpro...a lenovo t61p. but it was the first thing i disabled after purchase. don't know what it is capable of plett: up_the_irons: That's interesting. Their SuperWorkstations do say they have IPMI. But they appear to just be their normal Xeon server boards in a tower case. I was ideally looking for small and cheap i3 or i5 up_the_irons: plett: keep looking, they have tons of configs. even their atom servers have ipmi now. (~ $250, just add ram! ;)
i have one sitting next to me plett: up_the_irons: That's in a rack mount case though, rather than a tower? up_the_irons: yeah plett: And yes, I use a load of supermicro kit at work. I like the little atom servers. We use them as customer-facing DNS resolvers, etc up_the_irons: ah cool plett: Things that don't need much processing power, but which are too important to virtualise onto a platform that might depend on them being there
Ahh. They do exist. http://www.supermicro.co.uk/products/system/midtower/ ***: Webhostbudd has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
Webhostbudd has joined #arpnetworks up_the_irons: what would you guys recommend as a good server backup software (e.g. for your VMs) that supports all three: Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD?
my thinking: for less technical users that don't know exactly how to set up their own backups, i'd like to provide some docs, or installation help
duplicity?
rdiff-backup?
it appears duplicity runs on them all... CaZe: rsync? :P ***: CaZe is now known as ew6ejd
ew6ejd is now known as CaZe
amdprophet has joined #arpnetworks up_the_irons: CaZe: thing is rsync won't perserve perms, file attribs, etc.. etc.. unless you also have root on the backup server (which customers won't have)
CaZe: so you need something that handles that meta data (e.g. rdiff-backup, duplicity, etc...)
bacula is popular among some in here
plett: cool, you found some :)
plett: this one would be my pick: http://www.supermicro.co.uk/products/system/tower/5037/SYS-5037C-i.cfm
looks like around $300 USD
hmm... but i don't see IPMI, bah plett: up_the_irons: Wow. A built in Matrox G200! I haven't used one of those in years up_the_irons: lol ***: Webhostbudd_ has joined #arpnetworks
