The new ones are actually reaaaaly fast with booting
Comment on What are your tweaks to bring down POST times on new servers?

I don’t. Poweredges are slow to boot, not much you can do about that. They’re designed to be very compatible, unlike the desktops. Any time I need to reboot a physical server, I go do something else for a while and come back.
If you want to avoid outages, consider a UPS or a second server for HA.

I concur and it just gets worse the more hardware you have in them. 256G of memory and 24 disks? Might as well go have lunch while it boots.

Yeah it takes 10 minutes just for my ZFS pool to mount

Damn are all 24 disks internal? That’s some rig! I have the hardware on my latest NAS to connect up to 56 drives in hot-swap bays, and at one point while migrating data to the new drives I had 27 active units. Now that I’ve cleaned it up I’m only running 17 drives but it still seems like quite a stack.

Yea they’re internal. That’s normal for a fully loaded 2u storage server. Some even have 2-4 extra disk slots in the rear to cram in a few more.

Wow that’s packing a lot in 2u. I’ve only ever had 1u servers so eight 2.5" slots is a lot for these.
