It took me TWO YEARS to set up this server!

- This is an awesome server that I got my hands on- the HP ProLiant dl380p Gen8. With a whopping 96gb of ram and 40 cores, I'm going to be putting it to good use. But there were tons of hurdles, of course.

You got those 8 extra cables eh? Sounds like you need more servers... Can't have those cables go to waste.
So glad to see the younger generation appreciate technology.
For the ILO it is a really old version this is why it's not working on modern version. It doesn't have the modern SSL versions. Also i strongly recommand you to update to prevent frying the nand flash for the smart recovery since by experience with the ilo 4, old firmware had a flaw and writting to much to the nand unitil it's dead. The latest version is 2.82 and can be found on the HPE website.
just wait til you get in the world of proxmox.. my guy EBAY!! is a homelabber best friend
Not sure if you'd be interested or not, I recently upgraded from a DL380p gen8 (256gb ram, dual 2690s, 4x 1tb ssds, etc) to a newer gen10. I used this thing all throughout school and would love for it to go to a good home where it will be used. I respect anyone starting out building their own home labs and if I can help inspire others, Id be happy to give it away. Let me know!
Please be careful when you use WD Red series (For Long Term Use) it has failed on me this why I use WD Ultrastar series or HGST this is what I recommend for you and sorry for the misinformation that I wrote before there was an scandal before about WD Red series, that's why I write this to you thanks for you're time.
I’m so glad my server isn’t loud. It’s not quiet but a simple interior door with a foam strip at the bottom makes it almost silent
Update the ILO firmware for it to work in a new browser and if you want there are some ILO fan mods out there so you can slow down your fans a bit
For using hypervisors it's way better to use os control mode for your power management so you have a more predictable performance in your VMs, as the host hypervisor is the one controlling the performance.
The loud fans is the most annoying thing about enterprise hardware. I worked in a serveroom a couple of weeks ago and it was HOT (no cooling in the room) and with two rows of 8 42U racks (80% filled), that room was loud. Really not a great server room to work in, no place to sit down, not table for equipment and not even a ladder to remove heavy equipment like the dl380 (we had to remove one of them).
That server looks so sick! Thanks for sharing!
My first server was a Dell R610 when I was 18. Glad to see you jumping into enterprise systems, they can be a lot of fun!
That's actually so cool! Keep it up, dude!
I can feel your pain

Cool vid. My first Server also was a HP DL380p Gen8. I was running Proxmox on it. But now I got away from using Enterprise Hardware because of the noise and power usage. I just upgraded from using 8*4TB Sata Drives to 4*12TB. Have fun with this and try to learn as much as you can. It will help you with your career in the future
Awesome video! I just wanted to drop by and say that on edge, you can enable Internet explorer mode, which might help for your management port. I have to use this feature for work. Hope this helps!
In a data center, typically we provide an A and B power supply. PS1 will go to A and PS2 will go to B. That way if the data center loses power on one feed, the secondary B will take the load.
Yo I have the same sever, nice to see someone else use them
For my 5th and 8th gen dl380s, I had the same problem with the p410 cards. My solution was to define a raid0 volume for each physical drive. Not the best idea long term but it got the job done
