Hardware consolidation project
Oct. 1st, 2017 11:23 amSo I got things together on the financial front, which helps out a lot.
My next step is consolidating hardware. You see, I got drives all over the freakin' place. I think it's time I did something about it. So, I'm building a proper, rack-mount NAS/VM host/misc server.
Yes, I'm rebuilding my occlan server, essentially. My sidney server will still be around, but will be a testbed and print server. Mail can go to occlan and I can put all the spare Raspberry Pi's there as well for a bit of a cluster. It also kills a *)@#( old Drobo, which was expensive to get at the time, and only does USB 3.0 shared by four drives. I'd like some more speed please. I'll RAID 5 the whole mess and toss the old Drobo. It's not worth the time to deal with it.
Plus, 8 TB drive to back it all up on just came in. I'll mess with that later.
