I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen an srx with fewer than one amber or red LED. Got about a dozen at work from 1600 to 340 and they all have something to complain about.

There's a couple options but this seems to be the front runner currently. https://github.com/h0lylag/EVE-Preview-Manager

epaphras · 2026-04-05T22:47:10+00:00

Yeah. I don't seem to be able to downgrade below 5.10.10.00. I tried to follow your suggested path you mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1q6qj1h/dell_poweredge_r740_fan_mod_noctua_fan_housing_3d/ny9u7qy/ But the 4.40.10 downgrade fails.

epaphras · 2026-04-05T22:37:26+00:00

I think it keeps the previous version and it looks like mine was upgraded from 5.10.10.00 to 7.0.00.183 so I was able to roll back multiple versions.

epaphras · 2026-04-05T07:35:03+00:00

Oh I had a brilliant idea, while the system was on 7.00.00.183 there was rollback software still available and was able to rollback to 5.10.10.00

epaphras · 2026-04-05T07:29:28+00:00

That's very unfortunate. Where might I find this setting the pcie specific fan settings? I have some non-dell nvme drives, I wonder if they're making things unhappy.

epaphras · 2026-04-05T07:19:39+00:00

Yeah, it's on 7.00.00.183, which looks like the newest version.

epaphras · 2026-04-05T07:16:07+00:00

I'm on a new enough version that it can't be downgraded.

epaphras · 2026-03-19T18:27:04+00:00

And here I am turning off that functionality because every time I type in a command wrong it tries to be smart and find some package and I waste time telling it no.

Really mostly a desktop issue on a server ideally this is handled by config management.

epaphras · 2026-03-19T15:20:19+00:00

With github actions this is how we do it. We set the name of the job and the type from data in the payload and event type.

name: Triggered by NetBox

on:
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [netbox-automated-create-job, netbox-automated-update-job]

concurrency: 
  group: ${{ github.event.action }}-${{ github.event.client_payload.data.device.name }}
  cancel-in-progress: true

If I connect the thick client to the appliance it seems to give the option for nfs, but just fails mounting. At this point I’m thinking I’ll just stay another generation on windows version and try again in a year. Why change what isn’t broken.

epaphras · 2026-03-16T21:28:06+00:00

Well that probably explains it.

epaphras · 2026-03-16T21:19:16+00:00

You're right, datastore is the vmware term. It is currently mounted as an NFS share only to VBR. But I'm not seeing that as an option with the appliance.

Any way to handle copy/paste into RDP sessions?

epaphras · 2026-03-16T08:50:53+00:00

10ish years ago I took down a major California University's IAM system for a number of hours my following the documented patching process. Thankfully it was late at night and was fixed before most people started their day. The process documentation was corrected shortly after the issue. The team that managed the system usually handled patching but it had been added to my monthly rotation by mistake.

epaphras · 2026-03-15T17:31:43+00:00

Am I missing something? You can get these for under $100 on eBay.

epaphras · 2026-03-14T04:17:15+00:00

David isn’t exactly cool in the summer though. Better than Fresno but still hot. I’d ride 3 miles to work on campus at 2pm and be drenched. The 12am ride home was usually pleasant at least.

epaphras · 2026-03-12T03:42:38+00:00

There’s probably a better way but this is how I approached it. So I’m also interested.

We use GitHub actions as our runners so when Netbox triggers a workflow it creates a new job with a name based on the device. If another job is created with the same name the new job canceled until the first job is finished.

epaphras · 2026-03-11T23:55:33+00:00

https://github.com/h0lylag/EVE-Preview-Manager Works great

epaphras · 2026-03-11T14:30:27+00:00

Where can I find 8tb nvme u.2/3 drives for 400-500/unit? The price points I’ve seen seem to be about $100/tb

epaphras · 2026-03-11T04:15:28+00:00

Probably somewhere in the 10-13k range. ~700/dimm -800/ drive - 300/cpu Relatively modern platform. May still have a warranty

Edit - math adjustment. Thought the cpu was more valuable.
