- In this video we take a look at the HP BladeCenter C7000 and a few blades that aren't posting for various reasons.
This video is rather loud which is to be expected from such a huge unit.
Trainpal is an absolutely sick app
I am quite familiar with that blade chassis and they're quite interesting to use, if a bit troublesome to support sometimes. I've got a chassis full of Gen8 blades to play with at my office because it was otherwise going to get scrapped. I'll give HP loads of credit, though, they laid out their blades very nicely and made sure to provide you with any tools you'd need in the blade itself. Quite a nice touch.
Ahh, I love the fans at 21:00. Sounds like a jet.
If you ever get the opportunity to tour a lab environment with lots of enterprise equipment like this, make sure to wear hearing protection of some form. Earplugs or noise cancelling headphones are recommended to save your hearing. Tinnitus is nothing to joke about.
Smackin' da bell for whenever uploads do occur, I know immediate ;)
Great video. Don't Really know much about servers but was really interesting
Servers are essentially regular computers, but in a different form factor and with additional features intended to improve reliability and management. Blade servers are a bit special in that much of their external connectivity, management, power and cooling are handled by the chassis that they're installed into. The thing that makes them so cool in my opinion is that they're typically overbuilt because they're meant to last absolute ages while being used near constantly.
@@mndlessdrwer I run a tech channel. At the time of writing that comment, I knew what servers are, I just didn't know much about them and what can be done with them. I knew they are overbuilt, have overkill cooling and last a very long time as they are meant to be on 24/7 but at the time of this comment I was asking about what can be done with them and how to fix/repair them. At this point, 9 months later, I have watched a lot of videos and done a lot of research and I now know a good amount of info on servers.
Those are some dope heatsinks on the gen6.
hello my dude!
I also have a few BL460c G8s, they are beastly little things! their home is a C3000 blade enclosure
the low power warning comes through because you don't have enough PSUs plugged in.
you need a minimum of 2 PSUs plugged in at all times.(the psu's work in a couple. one as a main, one as a BU)
if you need to power more than 2 blades on at a time, please use a minimum of 4 PSUs.
Love your work, please shoot me a message if you want to exchange more information!
Best regards from me,
Just subbed, I hope more videos are gonna come, I just recently got interested into servers and this is interesting!
I think your problem is that you are mixing gen8 blades with g6 in the same backplane bank. move the gen8 to the lower 8 slots or move your g6 down a slot. G7 and G8 can be mixed and G6 and G7 can be mixed but not gen6 and gen8 because gen7 was an interm progression (bandaid) it supports backplanes of 2 different speeds. gen6 blade will cause the messaging rate of the backplane bank to lower to an unsupported speed for the g8. The backplane is split top and bottom but I believe you may have to put it in Double Density mode for top and bottom to disconnect the backplane plx/mux chips and in doing so with single density blades you will lose half of your interconnect port connectivity and is totally not supported or intended to run this way. Furthermore have you double checked to ensure your bladecenter chassis is of the correct generation to support g8? G8 requires the 7.7tbps midplane (g2+) with numbers 5xx015-b21, 5xx016-b21 5xx017-b21, 5xx018-b21, 5xx019-b21 and any 6xxxxxx-b21 and 7xxxxxx-b21 chassis ROHS and PLATIUM designation.
I have mixed G1, G7, Gen8, and Gen9 in the same c7000 enclosure and never had an issue like this. Gen8s definitely work in the original c7000 with the 4Tbps backplane. This is guidance I haven't heard before
Where did you get the bios for G8 2019? Share?
hi, i have an issue when insert blade to its chasis. it stuck, cannot fully inserted. is there some key to get insert back to its chasis?
Could I fit a graphics card mezzanine to bl460c gen 8
I realize this is several years too late (and you've likely sorted your problem by now), but to get glued capacitors apart, you can just cut the plastic covers off.
Please do a video on a storage blade like the d2220sb or sb40
Already in the works! I have a storage blade and Itanium blade lined up. Was hoping to find a GPU one but haven’t had the time with university and the onecare rewritten project.
@@CobsTech Looking forward to seeing it!
I recently bought a blade server as well. Any idea how to connect it to a network through normal ethernet? right now there is just optical ethernet and I have no idea how to use that
Try a converter
@@adamdnewman I actually ended up solving it with an ethernet passthrough module. Regards
If your 10Gb modules support standard SFPs, you can purchase 1Gb-baseT SFP modules for it, which you can cable directly to a standard copper Cat6 switch or router. For the most part, 10Gb SFP ports will run natively at 1Gb with the correct module, though you may want to do some additional research to make sure that the 1Gb modules you're looking at will work.
@@danilorosich That's honestly one of the easier solutions if you want to access each blade's networking directly instead of using the module as an internal switch. I have just had poor results actually getting a functional gigabit passthrough module for the one I've got to play with at work, but the switches I've got to work with all use 10Gb fiber connections, so the switching module with 10Gb uplinks worked out fine for my needs.
Do a dell FX2 chassis next! :D
I have problem with ilo card in c7000 blade server i don't know the password and i try to hard reset ilo card but unfortiently it doesn't response the signal lost and i had to reboot it and after rebooting there is no change happend is there any way to reset ilo card to default user and password so i can access it waiting for a response and thx in advance

I think the pinout on that front board (under the USB port) is for USB 3.0. A.K.A: One of the worst internal connectors ever designed.
Edit: Oh, TPM? I think it's still the same connector as the USB 3.0 on most consumer boards, which is terrible regardless of its function.
Should mess around with a Lenovo sd350, c7000 basically a older version of the synergy.

Hi.
Can i plug the onboardaminitrator to my internet router and access to it by internet from another location ?
Thank !
I wish you a happy life!
If you have an externally routable IP provided by your service provider or you have a VPN tunnel into your private network, then yes.
HighlyProblematic Entreprise
Especially with the Gen7 blades where a firmware update gone wrong will brick your CNA mezzanine card.
Can you put any brand drive in this blade? Like a SSD or non dell drives ?
You can. Anything over a G8 might complain that the drive isn't a genuine HPE drive if you do though.
fans go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
how to switch off the enclosure after i switch off all blades?
There is no way to shut down the enclosure. You must switch it off at mains to do that. If you have a good UPS, you can usually turn sockets on and off to do the same thing.
Empty bays everywhere, air flow going around the blades and not cooling them.
Yeah, needs some blanks
Fans sound beautiful hahaha
hi can i find a way to install ssd in this server (G7)? 10k is to slow!
Yes, these blades are designed with SATA SSD's in mind, any of them should work okay.
i did it OK!
those fans scare the shit outta me
recommendation go brrr
16:50 they dont look like rdimms..
Cool server computers I have an hp proliant and a dell poweredge t300
You didnt shout at me to like and subscribe
can i do that instead
xbox 360 leds but server
Dude, you got a really bad wart on your left thumb.... Needs chop off
BTW those color LCD's are the same as their printer range...... Same factory
there is no community to help on this kind of server the manuals is not efficient as videos ,,,,i need to setup the ip addresses but i cant find any tutorial.
is look like i lost $2000 euro
For this blade chassis, you can set the mgmt IP for the chassis through the front display controls. After that, you'll have to log into the iLO for the chassis to manage the IP pool for your blade's management and assign IPs to the blades for iLO.
Holy crap, how much money do you have sunk in that and what on earth do you do with all that. You must be chums with the CEO of the power company too...
