This makes total sense for a virtualization Setup. You've build a 48 thread cluster for less than the cost of one Threadripper. If you're doing it for VMs this is just smarter than cramming 32-64 cores into one device.
I've been running Ryzen systems on Hyper-V and Proxmox for quite a while now and I've never had any issues. I currently have 5950X, 2400G, and 3700U servers running now. Great stability, no crashes, I've been quite happy. I'll likely add another 5950X system when AM4 prices bottom out.
The 18/20Gbps thing is likely due to the packet loss shown by iperf. As an experiment you could see what it does with flow control enabled, I have seen this exact thing with machine A sending untagged packets to switch B, which then forwards them as tagged (and thus slightly larger) to C, then B runs out of output buffer, and TCP in A then backs off a lot.
WARNING for the Asrock X570D4U board. There is a bug in the BIOS/BMC that if you change the IPMI from DHCP to manual assigment, it corrupts the BMC firmware and the IPMI will no longer work. You will have to reload the BMC firmware though Freedos if that happens. So assign your static IP through your DHCP and not from the board itself.
I changed my IP with the previous stable BMC version and it is still set to manual after update. Changed it in IPMI webgui > settings > network > network IP settings
I was using 2 x 3900X for my lab a few years ago and they performed very well with Proxmox and Vmware 6.7. Sadly, at that time, I didn't get the same performance out of them from XCP-ng. I might revisit this eventually. Edit: @10:30 For those saying it need a faster cpu, consider that the AMD Ryzen 5900X is faster than any Intel server CPU out there bar none. It "only" has 12-core/24-thread, but you will be able to run more VMs on the same hardware specs (Ram/Disk/Network) and acheived greater performance. It is just that fast and good.
That live vm migration is amazing. I only use truenas scale as my hypervisor but this is something over I which would consider trying xcpng. Also I would love to see a video about high availability you mentioned!
Someone at TH-cam has a sense of humour! When he clicked on the Remote Control viewer, up popped an ad! Took a moment for my mind to register the switch in content!
Very cool. I have a R5 3600 sitting in my X570D4U-2L2T right now. In the next 6 months my desktop will get an upgrade and the 5900x will go into it. AsRock's IPMI isn't great but the last update fixed a lot of things.
Great build Lawrence, i'm planning to build a home server soon...Intel Xeon E5 2630 V3 LGA2011-v3, ASRock Rack Board with Dual Channel ECC DDR4,...will be running both Windows Server 2019 and RHEL 9.0....And yes Ryzen's single thread performance will be higher than these higher core Xeon CPUs...i really liked that you pointed out the CPU utilization was very less indicating that going for a Threadripper or EPYC CPU would be an overkill for this build...
I’m glad your making the build for the more common geek. This is the build I want was looking at asrock as some people use them but still feel odd before this still would rather us asus,msi or super micro, tyan but glade I have spent many years not making a move but as rock will be my next server build as my asus Maximus extreme started killing ddr2 ram sticks. Sad it’s been far more responsive then Any other computer I have used till I ran out of ram to boot from.
Great setup. I have a similar one, with two nodes for the compute and a Synology providing the shared storage. All my network is gigabit, but hoping to make the jump to 2.5 Gbe next year.
If you are not in a hurry and on a budget I bet you'll be able to roll out 5 or 10Gbps late next year for not too much $. I did this a couple years ago and have seen the prices falling quickly since then. If your concern is hitting higher rates over old cable, I had good luck hitting 10Gbps over CAT5e on Netgear and Ubiquiti 10Gbps equipment.
I really like the kit specs! I am more comfortable with proxmox, but this should run relatively well for that hypervisor platform too. I wonder if you could water cool the CPU so you can get it in a 2U case. Greate build and impressed with asrock's IPMI platform!
For my home-lab, I run a Ryzen because it works just fine. In my office, I find that RAM is my bottleneck. With a couple dozen VM's running, I need more RAM than Ryzen can handle. I'm close to topped out at 128 GB of ram, which is why I went with a low-end Threadripper for my backup virtualization server and a high clock speed 7371 Epyc for the primary server. You are absolutely correct though, I never come close to topping out on the CPU's. Even when I ran my virtualization on 8350 chips, RAM was always my bottleneck.
You always have great informative videos. Some a little too complex for me, a non IT Guy. I now know I need a a Chassis (not rack mount) Server and the server should have E1.S drives....maybe start with 6- 7 TB drives....dont now where to buy or build.
Very nice, I have a similar build, but I used the Noctua NH-D9L cooler so that I can change the fan orientation. Noctua sent me the extra pieces for free. I also went with ECC ram KSM32ED8/32ME It's running in my old Antec 900 case, I really want to get a nice 4U case with 120mm fans and a lot of HDD slots. Future upgrade perhaps. That said, I went with Unraid as the host OS as I needed an all-in-one server for my home lab. At work we run XCP-NG on threadripper systems with TrueNAS on older intel systems.
I have the x470 version of that board and I had nothing but issues with it when I first bought it. Constant crashing no matter what hypervisor I tried and even tried several different kits of ram. I finally shelved this entire server for a year or 2 then gave it a another try this year. With a bios update and swapped cpu its finally been stable and I deployed it as my main hypervisor. Now I've been looking at investing in 5900x or a 5950x for it since its only running on a 2700x right now. My only issue now is this is my only AMD node in my cluster so I can't live migrate to and from it.
I want to build a file server with one of the new multi-NVME boards, bypass the limitations of physical drives, transfer data via a 10 gig or 25 gig to/from NVME's.
I have looked through a lot of the comments, but not all of them, so sorry if I have missed it. Can you let us know what the power usage is for one of the servers on idle and under normal load with XCP-ng. Think this is an important element of designing systems following the cost of energy in recent years.
I see that the ConnectX-4 24Gbe cards are much cheaper used than what you went with. For a home lab, is it worth 2x going for the newer 5th gen cards or stick with 4th?
I use an old dl380p gen 8 as a test environment for work. Something like this would be awesome. My system seems to be a little slow nowadays which is fine but eventually i'd love to upgrade to something a little faster with a little better efficiency. That being said, how is the efficiency for one of those ryzen systems? What kind of power draw are you looking at for that on average?
Typically Amd is the efficiency king. Most of their consumer products are about 2/3s to 1/2 of the power draw of a comparable Intel chip. At least at the consumer end which the 5900x that he is using is apart of.
@lawrence systems I'm curious how this stacks up to intel's own competing NIC (XXV710DA2) performance-wise, the Mellanox is much cheaper than Intel by almost 200 bucks.
As a young IT professional, I have a couple questions: 1. You made a comment the Rosewill cases were not on rails, which I’m ok with. But why was that decision made? And what are you using instead of sliding rails? 2. Platforms like XCP-ng are more supported on Server Hardware (Xeons, Epyc, etc). Have you had any issues running XCP-ng on consumer-level hardware? 3. I noticed on my Optiplex I’m using to evaluate XCP-ng that hyperthreading (SMT) was not enabled. I saw that for your install, it was. How do you recommend it to be?
1) Why spend money on things that are not needed, like rails. We use these kit.co/lawrencesystems/homelab-rack-build/navepoint-adjustable 2) XCP-NG works on a wide range of hardware 3) I leave it on

Hey Tom, how are these systems faring today with the 5900x? Would you say they still keep up and there's no reason to upgrade or are they showing its age for virtualization needs? I'm planning on purchasing a 5950x for my server build, also with 128GB RAM since it is considerably cheaper than going for 7000 series along with the platform change, and I'm pretty certain it would suffice for my needs but I'd like to know your thoughts on such a platform in 2023, thanks!
