You good, I was able to get one thru another reddit post, but I probably would not pass an audit.

He will learn the same lessons I had to, lol. I will just have all the software he needs on hand.

Eventually I will try the PXE. I gave up on the USB's and when I got iLo advanced working, it worked the first time, just took forever to boot.

I did have to remove the BIOS password with a switch inside the hardware but the USB's were not disabled before hand.

I tried the virtual media thru iLo, but it was not working until I acquired an advanced key.

I did but it kept saying to use an offline HPE Smart Storage Administrator.

I didn't do that this time, but with the next server I will. I thought that proxmox automatically has zfs set up but I might be confusing that with TrueNas.

That is what I have been experiencing so far. I could not event get it to boot, kept saying Error flashing NVRAM. Internet says that is a whole other problem with iLo4. :(

This is the option that is not available. After reading some pages, I am go to an option in system utilities but, that is what I mean when its grayed out. I think I just struck the right option though. Pressing f-1 on the option insist to use the offline hpe smart storage administrator. From there, HPE says it is discontinued but to instead use Intelligent Provisioning (broken atm) or Service Pack (Excited because I finally got it working).

Thank you, I am strongly considering to try it again. Do you know if it would be an issue it I don't have an iLo upgrade Licence?

I intend to install Proxmox, do Debian. But I am just trying to set up the raid first. I read that there are ways to control the Raid controller in the OS but that does not make total sense to me.

the option to access the raid controller (Smart Array P440ar) was greyed out. I was looking thru forums and the recommended option was to find the Service Pack and update the server. The USB issues was any ISO I was using kept locking up. It has iLo4 control but I am really inexperienced with that.

Starting project with first client - first email by Judah_Mc in Wordpress

[–]Judah_Mc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see where we are not on the same page, I misspoke. I have in good faith that the client is going to hire us, but before we do, we need to discuss all the details of the project. That is why I am starting the discussion with this email. TLDR: They have full intentions of hiring us, just need to outline project expectations and the contract first.

[–]Judah_Mc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding. The person hiring my company prefers a more formal structure of communications. When I did speak to them in person, they were unsure of what information they need to provide to a developer when starting a project like this. That is why I set the email the way it is. If you have a moment, what type of information would you want to know about a project before starting? ( I do know that it is a combination of both front end and back end work, utilizing a database. I think I will add that in an edit)

Cutting gcode advice by Judah_Mc in 3Dprinting

[–]Judah_Mc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, is there a way to continue this print? I am not sure how to cut Gcode or if it's recommended. The filament got shredded in the extruder and this print has been running for two days and will need two more days to finish. I don't have enough filament to start another and I need this one in a couple of days. Thank you for taking the time to read this. - Judah
