My homelab upgrade experience

This is sort of a follow-up to my previous post, asking about migrating ZFS pools to a new machine. Migration went smoothly and the new machine is quite the nice upgrade, if I may say so myself I went from:

A hacked together custom build

AMD FX-8320E 8c/8t @3.20 GHz 16GB ram

To a used HP ProLient dl380e gen8

2x Xeon E5-2450 16c/32t @2.10 GHz
64GB ram

Not mentioning storage, as I haven't changed that, still using a

5x 2TB RAIDz1 HDD pool

Huge thanks to anyone who replied to my old post :)

The ProLient has been quite the fun experience, got it for real cheap and it's been pretty great. Took me a while to figure out how to get the thing booting, iLO4 is not as horrible as I expected and it is kinda loud, but pretty great other than that.

Imo iLO5 is a big improvement over iLO4.
Also you can download an iLO remote client to not be required to login to the web ui.
