Yesterday I received a new toy for my home lab: An IBM BladeCenter E Two weeks ago I auctioned two IBM JS21 power blades for very little money, because a rack based IBM Power4 oder Power5 server is incredible expensive. Even an outdatet pSeries 615/630 with slow 1 GHz Power4 processor is not affordable. I […]
Time for my first blog in 2011 ! And it’s about Sun… hoouuw hooouw… 😀 Last year a good friend gave me a Sun Fire V490. The system was new and never used but had no system board. After several months searching for an affordable system board with no success I forgot the system and […]

The article contained lots of screenshots and I saw serveral changes within Virtual Connect Manager. So I decided to upgrade the firmware of my entire HP BladeSystem including the blade servers and interconnect modules. The update […]
Today I have made a very interesting experience. I arrived the office in the morning and our sales man wrote me a mail to change a HP BladeSystem offer for a customer. The customer bought a new ERP software and the requirements for the virtualized environment changed. The new systems needs two quad core processors […]
… well, it’s time to change into English. I have several international readers and a good friend of mine changed his blog into English, too. Lets do the same.

Geiles Teil ! Ich hab dieses System […]

Während ich die V480 wieder zusammen gebaut habe, überlegte ich mir die Kiste zur Probe nur mit einem Netzteil zu starten, d.h. ein Netzteil komplett heraus zu nehmen. Gesagt […]
