Recent upgrades to the company's server hardware (in fact, is the server to be eliminated, the company on the matter, love how on how to toss toss, as long as the line is not bad)
Server Configuration: Dell PowerEdge R610, E5606 x2 (4 2.13G dual-core thread 4), 4G ECC RAM x4,300G TOSHIBA SAS x3, DELL SAS 6 HBA, iDrac6 Express
Configuration is quite old, probably 12 years machine. Server stability is not to say, continuous power for so many years, not bad, a little dust, clean up just fine.
After studying at the configuration, you can see the upgrade project in Taobao.
The first is the CPU, which is 1366 LGA interface, E5606 too weak, then the company may be insufficient budget, now on a X5650 Taobao only 60 yuan, so buy two, from 8-core 8-core 24 thread thread becomes 12, the main frequency up to 2.66G, performance should improve a lot of.
Then the memory, 16G ECC RAM, this pure ECC RAM easy to find, and the price is expensive, directly to the original 4 with 4G ECC all thrown away, replaced REG ECC RAM, this is very cheap, buy six 8G REG ECC 1333 installed on (fear not compatible, first bought two tried it, no problem, then bought four). Memory upgrade from 16G to 48G.
Then bought a 2.5-inch SAS hard disk of 600G, these accessories are all second hand, buy only write 14T, good, but also less than the amount of our own hard drive. Bought discovery need to buy hard drive rack, where the server is a placeholder rack, do not put disk, Taobao 15 yuan a, buy two.
Finally iDrac6 module, the server comes Express Edition, you can easily shut down and restart, but inconvenient place that can not reinstall the system, can not enter the BIOS setup, of course, the boot error can not remotely be skipped, so in Taobao on spend 15 yuan to buy a iDrac6 Enterprise module, came back loaded, found that virtual console is always Rom, to connect to the virtual console, suggesting that the connection failed.
Look online to find a solution:
1. Install Java, not necessarily the latest version, I use the JDK 8
2. go to the Control Panel, find the Java settings, in which the Security tab, find add an exception, the iDrac server URL added to the list, such as: https: //192.168.1.2
3. java installation directory to find jre directory of the lib \ security \ java.security, use a text editor to edit, find jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms = SSLv3 this line, the latest version of java may be two lines, right behind there are many other algorithms, this one line (line 2) Comment out or deleted.
4. re-open the virtual console, the downloaded jnlp file, the file name in addition to the beginning of the viewer are deleted, reserved .jnlp suffix
It should be connected. If you still can not connect to the Dell official website to download the latest version of the firmware iDrac6 look, look again into the brush, it should be just fine.
