HELP!!! Reselling advice, I just got 3TB of DDR4 32gb sticks
Post kinda says it all, work recently moved our VM's to another system and they know I have been doing a lot of homelabing and asked if I wanted them... I did not think they were this beefy. I'll add full specs in the first comment.
Quick Specs - 1 Server (I have 4):
HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9
Dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @ 2.20GHz
768GB DDR4-2400 ECC (24x32GB SK Hynix)
Dual 500GB SSDs - I assume this is for boot os
12x 2.5 1.92TB SSDs - Storage (HP enterprise)
So here is what I'm trying to do CORRECTLY
1 Is it generally better to part these out or sell complete systems? Pretty sure its part out... what do I remove/keep in the system? Anything in here I can repurpose in my home lab.. like a dual boot raid controller?
2 Hard drives same thing... is what I have pulled (see first comment) enough/the right data for resale.
3 How do I ensure everything is wiped for resell? With the 2 RAID controllers in these am I better of just pulling each drive individually wiping it clean and then selling or can I do this when they are in the RAID configuration as well?
4 Am I wasting my time installing Proxmox before selling? or is it a good idea to test this and make sure Proxmox can see all the raids/drives/other PCIE cards and stuff.
5 There are 2 other drives I have not been able to find... 200gb sdb and 1tb sdd
What I have done so far, and this is only on 1 of the servers the other 3 are untouched
Attempted to install windows (sda)... kus gaming with that much ram, I gotta try - stuck on boot screen
Installed Fedora (sda) - booted and started poking around
Made a live Debian usbc ssd (sde) so I can boot and clean things up repeatedly
made a image? of the contents of the 32gb sd card in the system... i assume this is recovery software for the factory OS
posting here to avoid mistakes.... which I certainly will not
Can add additional photos if needed THANKS
