Today my new servers arrived. The HP Microserver N40L. Yes, only 8 Gb max memory each but enough for my test environment. (My production environment is running on other servers) Like mentioned my other VM’s are running on different servers but they are so important now that I can’t use them anymore to test stuff like auto deploy and upgrade of ESXi and that stuff. 
So I bought a the HP Microserver N40L, 2 4 Gb 10600 memory modules, the HP NC112T PCIe Gigabit Server Adapter and the HP MicroServer Remote Access Card. Yes, this server is equipped with advanced ILO so that I can mount DVD’s, and remotely power-on/off the server.
Each server can hold 4 SATA hard drives and a DVD drive. I didn’t bought the DVD drive because I will be using PXE and ILO for (remote) install of the OS/Hypervisor.
Here are some pics :
One server is running Hyper-V now. More information is coming…
