| Post subject: | Validate My WHS 2011 HP MicroServer Build |
I've loaded WHS 2011 onto an HP Proliant N40L Micro Server. I have upgraded to 2X4gb Ram & installed the controller card for my Sans Dugital TR4M-B. I have not flashed the BIOS as I don't plan on using slots 4 & 5 anyway. The Server has installed & recognizes 8 hard drives. I have moved each shared folder to it's own hard drive with none on the OS drive. I have 1 hard drive set as the Backup drive. I have copied my data over from my DataVault. All folders & the server are backed up to the backup drive & also backedup off site using KeepVault. The way I see it, there are 2 copies of each file on the server & 1 located off site so, I am adequately protected. Does anyone see any faults in my build? If not, I plan to delete the files from my DataVault & remove it from service in the near future. One last thought, is it normal for the dashboard to take anywhere fro 30 seconds to over a minute to open? |

Nope - looks like you are covered! The only thing I might add is either DrivePool or DriveBender to convert those individual drives into one WHSv1 Pool - I started out with individual drives and shares, but recently tried out and then bought DriveBender and am very happy with it - not having to think of individual drives or manually "load balance" files between them is very nice. And being able to duplicate critical files and keep downtime to a minimum is also very welcome. Quote: One last thought, is it normal for the dashboard to take anywhere fro 30 seconds to over a minute to open? Are your PC's and Windows Home Server in the same workgroup? i.e. unless you change it on install, WHS defaults to a workgroup of - workgroup! Other than that I can't think of anything easy to recommend to troubleshoot - but it's probably some weird netbios thing that's delaying your computer from "seeing" your WHS... |
