Storage CentOS Server (Phoenix)

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Vitaly Posted in CentOS, Linux, Networking, Tech, Virtualization Leave a comment

The primary storage server (don’t want to call what I have as a SAN really as it’s just one server, not a filer with added modules) and has the following specs: Dell R510 Server 1 (Phoenix) Primary Purpose: Storage CPU: Single E5520 Xeon CPU (quad core) RAM: 8GB DDR3 ECC Registered First RAIDset: Two 160GB

Homegrown SuperMicro ESXi Hypervisor (Deadpool)

As much as I wish I could use Dell R510 servers for everything, sometimes you have to use what you have available. In reality, you can use much weaker hardware when creating a home lab, as it is the learning of how everything works together that is the primary purpose, not how fast everything runs

CentOS Hypervisor (Wolverine)

Wolverine is configured almost identically to Cyclops, the only difference is that it uses bonds (groups of NICs) to communicate instead of individual NICs. This is useful for both load balancing and redundancy. It has the following specs: Dell R510 Server 2 (Wolverine) Primary Purpose: Hypervisor CPU: Dual L5520 Xeon CPUs (quad core) RAM: 32GB DDR3

Virtual Machines

This page will be a moving target as we will be checking out new machines and technologies, and likely adding and deleting current virtual machines to keep up with current technologies. Below is a list of the virtual machines that I hope to create (each on their own page, with their own trials and tribulations).

Centos Hypervisor (Cyclops)

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Vitaly Posted in CentOS, Linux, Networking, Tech, Virtualization Leave a comment

Cyclops was originally setup to be a failover for the primary hypervisor (Wolverine) however after realizing that I should probably cover the babysteps of KVM before jumping into high availability, I just set it up as normal hypervisor. It has the following specs: Dell R510 Server 2 (Cyclops) Primary Purpose: Hypervisor CPU: Dual L5520 Xeon CPUs
