Have 2 HP Proliant DL385 G7's everything is working perfect except I cannot for the life of my figure out have to get them to
connect to the network. Lan or Wan just trying to run an OS from a thumbdrive to mine with the CPU's no luck with anything
Ubuntu or any of the standard ones. Been through every bios setting, anyone have any idea why I can not get this thing on
the network, I am sure it is something simple and stupid, have years of experience with computer, linux and trouble shooting
but right now I am out of ideas. Any help is appreciated.
Are you plugged into the iLo port or an actual network port? If you noticed there are FIVE Ethernet jacks on the back of the server. iLo port is also Ethernet but it will not get you on the network. It is access to the subsystem that runs before the server actually boots an OS which gives you full control for monitoring, remote deployment etc. Looking from the back, you should be plugged into the furthest network jack to the right, labeled #1.
Also, that box is going to pull more wattage than produce hash. Only 61xx series Opterons with no AES in that box.
Thank you for the reply, I already figured it out, I was trying to run HIVE OS to mine off a thumb drive assuming they were using ubuntu as a base os, apperently not or at least not the full version, HIVE OS apperently doesn't have a nic driver for the DL385 as soon as I loaded Ubuntu Desktop I pulled an ip. Also I am not to worried about the watts its pulls, I am mining cryptonight at 800+ h/s with the dual 6220 cpus and running 4 1070tis of a usb splitter powered by the free extra 750watt psu it came with for another 2.1 k/sols. Thing hardly pulls 700watts at the wall.
