I think I have already tried this and it didn’t work.
That said, I also may not have work ask thing I have tried.

When I got the 720, I also got a 710. The 720 had eight drives in it, but was given to a friend to host one of our games. Turns out those drives had windows 10 on them.

We dropped them in the 720 and it will boot, but still complains about the iDrac…

It’s been a bit crazy between a new roof, plumbing issues and rain from Helene. No damage to the house, but the an area has a lot of trees downed…. Nothing like this in NC or TN..

I will try again and see what happens

@travisdh1

Yes, this unit does have the iDRAC port also, which is why this seems weird…

iDRAC -

Ended up being short lived excitement when I came in last night to see that I could access the LifeCycle controller and was able to get the iDRAC connected.

Used the reboot option and that was it I suppose... Back to LifeCycle controller being disabled and the iDRAC being inaccessible.

Odd also is that it seems to only allow one of the four main NICs over the iDRAC NIC - Has it been so long since I worked on something at this level that I've misconstrued some information on how the iDRAC NIC is suppose to work/

Sadly,.. While I can access the PERC I cannot access the iDRAC;

iDRAC settings Version: 1.65.65.04
SWC0700: iDRAC is not ready. The configuration values cannot be accessed.

The PERC sees all drives installed, but the State is Blocked.

Specs:
Dell r720 surplused
Hitachi HUC106060css600 512 drives

I admit - I've realized that the last server I had to physically touch was likely back in 2009. While I have worked with systems, I've not had to build or rebuild an array in a very long time. So I am a tad rusty.

System does see these drives - I have a full complement of sixteen to fully populate the two bays. However I have run into a slight issue with these drives I hadn't had to work with previously as technology has changed.

These drives are per the details above 512/512e and the r720 doesn't want to 'accept' them. While the PERC does see them, they are all marked as BLOCKED.

Now, I understand that sector size is set and cannot be changed - I rather expected to find the correct firmware needed to update the PERC to allow these drives to be used...

I do see that Dell has the driver for this drive - but reading the details about it seems to point at an OS side issue and not the PERC.

I fully expect that I am simply overlooking the solution because I am looking at or for the wrong information.

Well,.. with the weather we had rip through Kentucky this past week (TS / TD Helene) Didn't get to circle back to this, but discovered one possible issue. the Headset button on the phone itself needed to be enabled. (duh)

Yes, when I test this with another phone (T46p) and my Jabra headset, the headset doesn't ring when dialed. Checked to ensure that phone was enabled on the Jabra - but didn't seem to make a difference.

I expect it is something simple,.. and easy to overlook, but not found it yet. And today I am trying to not think about work and work on the 720,.. Curious as to what else I can end up putting on this as a Proxmox host.

Well,.. had some 'free time' - not really just making it up.

Picked up a Dell R720 the other week as a replacement to the Desktop that is running my Proxmox host. No Drives,.. but dual CPU and 128GB of memory. Had some drives,.. so trying to see what I can do with it other that just a large fan / white noise generator.

Does anyone have experience with this arrangement?

T46p phone
Algo 8189 Audio Alerter with 2507 Ring Detector

Was configured by our Unified Telco team, shipped to the local tech, demonstrated as working, and when moved to the phone it would need to be on, no longer alerts.

It’s network connected, reachable and responds. But when you call the extension no sound.

I rebooted the phone and then it started to ring.. but once phone was ready again no longer rings.

@ronneyb said in Proxmox os backup and restore:

So what is the best way to setup a single pve so that we can backup and restore the os. I have not been able to backup and restore using clonezilla. Maybe the proxmox backup server ? Any ideas and answers will be appreciated

Thanks
Ronney

Just for my own clarification, are you saying you want to backup/restore the Proxmox system?
