You may want to check around on the b660 chipset with 13th gen cpu. I thought I read there were some issues with power consumption and overheating. Something about not being able to adjust pl1/2 settings. Unless you already have it I’d think going for a z790/690 would make more sense for the added pcie lanes.

Your power bill is going to be ridiculous lol. No clue if you can install it, it's been probably 8+ years since I last had to direct connect to a vnx like that. Everything was done via java app and never really looked at the underlying system that much. I still have a couple locations with dormant vnx racks that have been powered off for a long time. I'm trying to remember how those work, they have a main power DA with battery back up that each feeds 2 pcs that do the controlling if I remember right. You obviously could only run one. There might be a secondary controller/cache system, I'm just having a hard time picturing it. I believe the current OS runs on the first 5 (vault)drives of the first shelf. There's usually a sticker from the factory don't touch and the system defaults to boot from there. Whether you could boot from usb I can't remember.

So my server isn't booting up anymore, unfortunately not getting much clues from the on screen halt. Anyone know how to turn on the syslog to flash drive through the config files? I know I turned it off via the gui. I assumed it was just add a "1" to syslog_flash in rsyslog.conf, maybe I just need to put in a path logs\syslog? local_server="1" server_protocol="udp" server_port="" log_rotation="" log_size="1M" log_files="1" remote_server="" remote_protocol="udp" remote_port="" syslog_flash=""

Had the same issue with the route. Worked when I added it manually but after starting array it would clear it out. Ended up just setting it to dhcp with a reservation and it worked through the reboots.

You may want to check this thread, I've only used SSD cache drives but stopping using btrfs solved my issue. This was plaguing me for at least a year or more, if multiple things going and moving a file over 10GB would hose everything up until it was complete. I only have 1 cache drive so going to xfs was easy.
