Tyan Vs Supermicro

Aug 10, 2009

I've been having a look at a lot of boards and Tyan seem to be beating Supermicro in terms of range at scan.co.uk

I've seen some unique features with Supermicro such as Remote KVM and such built into the motherboard, but it only seems to be with the very pricey series unless I'm looking in the wrong direction

Anybody have any thoughts to share about which is the better manufacturer?

Tyan Motherboard With Supermicro Case

Jun 3, 2007

I purchased a Tyan S3970 (Tomcat h1000e) motherboard with a Supermicro SC820 Case, 'cuz I got a good deal on the combo. After I purchased it I realized that the back-cover does not match up, and the connector wires are short. (ie. The NIC/power LED wires do not reach the connector). Does anyone have a solution to this problem.

Parts To Fit Tyan Mboard And Supermicro Case

Jul 2, 2007

I got a good deal on the Supermicro SC822T-R550LPB case, and then bought a Tyan Motherboard(S3970).

Unfortunately, the IO shield that comes w/the board does not fit the case, and the one from the case does not fit the mboard. A set of FAN cables do not reach the mboard either. Does anyone know of any place that sells these parts?

Server Tyan Transport GT20 B5151
CPU P4 3.0GHZ HyperThreaded
memory 2GB Kingston RAM DDR400
3 hardisks 250 gb, 2 for raid, 1 spare

it seems very hard to install centos on this box, i cannot figure out how to do.

i used a network install, and first of all the grub loader gave an error.

i used all standard procedures for install.

i think its the raid controller messing up with it.

Tyan B5161 + M3291 IPMI

Mar 10, 2007

I have here 3 servers of Tyan with M3291 IPMI boards installed. I hooked it up as per instructions of Tyan, but am unable to get it to work.

I have tried contacting Tyan about this, but after a few messages they stopped responding to my questions. I think they are convinced it is working with me....

The setup is;
- Ubuntu 6.1 x86_64
- System BIOS is the original version
- IPMI card is flashed with the correct firmware
- The network port which is shared with the IPMI card has a different IP address then the IPMI card.

Settings IPMI card:
box:~# ./uh8l -d
BMC Utility on Linux For M3291 version 0.9.1
Copyright 2003-2006 TYAN Computer Corp.
IPMI Ver: 2.0 Firmware Rev: 0.11 Vendor ID: 6653 Pdt ID: 5161
DHCP Disable
BMC IP Address: 10.0.1.102
MAC Address: 00:E0:81:42:4C:51
Net Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gate Way: 10.0.1.253
Broadcast ARP: Enable

This server has on the IPMI shared port the address 10.0.1.2 ...
When I try to ping the IPMI board from the server itself or from a different server I get an incomplete address in the ARP table;
? (10.0.1.102) at <incomplete> on eth2

(Also after pinging it for 1 minute...)

If I use the IPMI utilities I am unable to contact the board and do anything with the server....
I tried several settings of the IPMI board, including DHCP / ARP on and off...

Does anyone have this combination working, and how did you do this?

HP ProLiant Vs SuperMicro

Apr 13, 2008

I have many years of experience with Intel (SR1325, SR2200, SR2300, etc) and HP ProLiant DL servers, and have come to love HP. Their ILO2 remote management/power/KVM/VirtualMedia feature is hands-down the best I've used, and for me it's been 100% rock-solid reliable (unlike the horror stories heard about Dell DRAC cards flaking out and locking up when you need them most).

Now there's something shiny catching my eye-- the Supermicro 1U Twin systems.

http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/1UTwin.cfm?pg=1

Given my long positive history with HP, I'm reluctant to consider another brand, but it is hard to ignore double-density servers with colo prices (rackspace costs, not just power costs) spiraling upward.

I would love to hear from folks who have used both HP and Supermicro boxes in production. Specifically, about reliablity of the Supermicro platform in general AND about the reliability of their IPMI management modules even under Murphy's Law situations. The last thing I need is not to be able to remote-console or power cycle an unresponsive server because the IPMI card is flaky.

Supermicro // Dell // HP

Jul 22, 2009

I know this topic has been brought up before and I wanted to revisit this again. We are a growing hosting company looking to expand our Dedicated server offerings. So far, we have been renting servers and reselling but now we have begun colocating our equipment and are looking for hardware vendors.

Would you recommend us to...

...build our own servers using the Supermicro platform?
...purchase pre-built servers from Dell?
...purchase pre-build servers from HP?

Pricing is of major concern along with speed to provision new orders. Although we don't have a dedicated resource for putting together servers, this is something we can look into should the volume of orders increase. Scalability and Flexibility is a MUST

Thanks for chiming in...

SuperMicro Airshroud

Jul 11, 2009

Looking at 512L-260B's with some good old SuperMicro P4SCi's in there.

Is the MCP-310-18009-0N the airshroud I need for it?

If so, will it also work if I was to upgrade to something like an X7SBL-LN1?

Dell, HP Or SuperMicro

May 30, 2009

The technical level in our org is quite low.

We would like some advice on the difference between

1. Supermicro PDSML-LN2
[url]

2. DELL PowerEdge R200
[url]

3. HP Proliant DL120
[url]

Some web hosts here in Singapore are leasing them at comparable rates.

Our research shows that the Dell and HP are comparable and the SuperMicro appears to be in a different (lower) class.

How can the servers be leased at comparable rates if they are from different classes?

EMC SAN And Supermicro Servers

Apr 22, 2008

I am interested to find out if anyone out there has hooked up an EMC SAN to a supermicro box running Redhat Linux. Fiber Channel implementation would be great but would love to hear opinions about iSCSI as well. I was told that EMC doesn't support Supermicro boxes and while that may be true I would like to know if anyone there has tried it.

Dell Vs. Supermicro

Apr 26, 2007

configuration on Supermicro hardware and dell hardware, the pricing is pretty much the same 100+/- so thats not an issue.

But I am having a hard time to decide if I should go with supermicro or dell.

But here are the points which I have in mind.

- As far as dell goes, there is a central place for support, for example, if I have any issues, I know who to call exactly and get the issue solved, no resellers involved. If I go with supermicro and buy the hardware from a 3rd party, I dont know who to go to for support say a Motherboard fails or if I have any other questions, should I ask Supermicro themselves or the reseller?

- Has a DRAC card which I've heard is much more powerful than IPMI and I've heard Supermicro has no hardware for remote management as powerful as DRAC, I dont know how true that is.

- If I need any parts I know where I have to go to order them and what exactly to order since they have specific parts for specific server models, I dont know about supermicro.

I know, most of my points are benefiting Dell. But I've heard from the research that Supermicro hardware use less power and have less hard drive failures than Dell Servers, I dont know how true that is.

SuperMicro Cases In The UK

May 25, 2008

I currently have a few servers which I bought previously from eBay. They are not very good specification wise, so I am planning to swap them all for a single server. I have managed to find all my wanted components apart from the Case.

Does anyone know any reliable SuperMicro case provider in the UK?

Or perhaps recommend an alternative reliable case manufacturer.

New Supermicro Hardware And Kernel

Aug 1, 2009

I've got some new servers and there is two of them that works fine ONLY with the standard kernel that comes with CentOS 5.3, while if I tried to install any new kernel (via yum normally) it doesn't boot up because of a kernel panic saying "Kernel panic: not syncing: Attmepted to kill init!"

I tried reloading the system and same issue.

A screenshot is attached from the console while trying to boot up with any of the new kernels and panics.

SuperMicro Server Build

Nov 7, 2009

I received a chassis from SuperMicro today. It came with a translucent thin piece of plastic (about as thin as a piece of paper). The plastic has holes cut out that are roughly the same as the holes in the mother board. What is this thing? Is it just a guide so you know where to put the mounting screws?

Supermicro X8SIL-F Compatible RAM

Oct 8, 2009

We are testing this motherboard out for future use and are having trouble getting RAM that doesn't cause it to throw a RAM error. It does a no RAM beep, has no video, etc.

Supermicro has no compatible sticks listed for 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz DIMM ECC Registered, and we are currently using Crucial CT51272BB1339

Anyone using this board with 2GB DDR3-1333 ECC and 4GB DDR3-1333 ECC?

SuperMicro Network Drops

Sep 1, 2008

I have 4 SuperMicro servers, all of them have a problem with network dropping out 3-5 times a day, moreso during high use periods, and moreso on the servers with higher usage.

The graphs of network speed I have show the speed dropping to 0. All of the servers have this problem. 1 of the servers is a 6015 with 2x Xeon CPU, 16GB ram, RAID10 4x500GB. (don't have the exact model handy). The other 3 are 6015B-T+ with 1x Xeon CPU, 4GB ram, 2x sata drives.

These servers host game servers. The bandwidth usage on these boxes ranges from 1-5 Mb/s. CPU usage is anywhere from 10-30% during the dropouts.

Supermicro 1U PCI Riser Card

Apr 22, 2008

Currently I am building a new server based on this chassis:

[url]

In this chassis, I am going to be using an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard [url], and I'll be installing a 3ware 8006-2LP RAID card.

I just want to make sure that that RAID card will work with that motherboard, and also I want to verify that the Supermicro CSE-RR1U-X riser card is the correct model for this motherboard and RAID card.

I've got a couple of basic servers built in the supermicro mini 1U (CSE-512L-260B) chassis, but I've never had to deal with riser cards before, so I wanted to make sure everything is compatible and is going to fit correctly before I purchase them.

Supermicro Power Supplies

Jan 17, 2008

Supermicro power supplies today and found something odd.

There are several 2U chassis that are listed as having 700W redundant power supplies. I thought this meant that there are 2 power supply modules, each rated to 700W.

However, if you look at the power supply matrix here:

[url]

Under 2U, the options for redundant power supplies are 500+500W or 400+400W or 350+350W. Does this mean that each individual power supply is only rated to half of the total power. For example, 700W redundant power supply = 2x350W individual power supplies?

Supermicro 16GB Of 32GB Of RAM

May 30, 2008

I'm considering putting together a new set of servers...

My primary goal is to have IPMI and 16GB of 32GB of RAM in a system. I'm wanting lower-cost systems. I don't need a ton of CPU or anything special on disk (2 SATA is all I really need).

My previous generation of systems was PDSMI+ with 8GB RAM and they have been working great... but time to see if I can put together some budget 16GB of 32GB servers.

Anyone have some combos of motherboard + RAM to recommend?

(I'm open to Tyan or other server motherboards, even AMD or Intel)

Setting Up Supermicro IPMI.

Feb 17, 2007

I am having alot of difficulty trying to setup supermicro IPMI.

I am using motherboard PDSMI+.

Ok, so this is what I did:

1. I flash the IPMI card with the cd-rom that is included. I set the correct IP and MAC address.

2. I then install OpenIPMI-tools

I was able to successfully issue the command locally:
ipmitool sensor

but, when I try to connect remotely I always get a connection failed. I tried everything I know, which is nothing and got no progress.

I set the ipaddres and gateway by using this commands:
ipmitool -I open lan set 1 ipaddr [IPADDR]
ipmitool -I open lan set 1 defgw ipaddr [GW IPADDR]
ipmitool -I open lan set 1 netmask [NETMASK]
ipmitool -I open lan set 1 access on

Where To Get Cables For SuperMicro SC512L-260

Feb 8, 2007

some cables for the SuperMicro SC512L-260 case. I believe these are the correct part numbers:

CBL-0084L - Converter cable for front panel connector for non-SuperMicro motherboards

CBL-0044L - Serial ATA Cable that is compatible for use with limited space to plug into hard drives

We'd also be open to a different Serial ATA cable that would work with the case.

We're having trouble finding these in Atlanta. We'd prefer to either pick them up tomorrow, or buy them today and have them overnighted to us in Atlanta.

Supermicro X8SIL RAM Compatability / Availability

Nov 3, 2009

Has anyone been able to find any compatible RAM in 2G DIMMs for the SuperMicro X8SIL motherboard running either Corei7 or X34** LGA1156 processors? And what about reasonably priced 4G modules? I just want to make sure to purchase the right RAM before moving to a setup with this board / processor. Unless the RAM for this is crazy priced, I really don't want to go the Core2 Quad route when for about the same I can go with the newer LGA1156 stuff. But I have seen where people are having issues with RAM compatability and availability.

Raid Card For SuperMicro 1U ( 6016-MT)

Nov 7, 2009

we have some supermicro 6016-MT with 4 x SATA2 Harddrives, and would like to use raid 1/5/10.

On Dell, its very "easy" to find a raid controller, and i have never been worried about this before, but with supermicro im a little confused.

Server: supermicro.com/products/system/1U/6016/SYS-6016T-MT.cfm

I was looking at Adaptec 3405, ( adaptec.com/en-US/support/raid/sas_raid/SAS-3405/ ) but are not sure if this is the right card for this server. Is this overkill or to small a card for a 4 disk 1u server?

About cabling: On Adaptec's site they state

"Cable: one Mini SAS x4 to (4x) SATA fanout cable w/ sideband (2247000-R), 0.5 meter"

But are this cable the correct one for a server like this with backplane and everything, or should i look for a special cable? if so, anyone know what i need to order?

Source For Fans For Supermicro SC833's

Aug 7, 2009

We have a large number of the 2U SC832 and SC833 cases from Supermicro that have been real workhorses over the years and some have had various motherboards in them as time went by. All of them are 5-7 years old and we would like to keep using them, but are concerned about the fans in the power supplies getting worn out and failing. Anyone have the source for good high quality fans that would work in these 400 and 550 watt single power supplies?

Anyone have an idea of what the normal life of one of these power fans is? All of them have been in good datacenters from there first use.

Since I know there are a lot of Supermicro users on this forum I figured this would be the best place to ask.
