Issues

• Wake on LAN on connected NIC does't seem to work. I could not find the appropriate option in the BIOS
• Console redirection in DRAC interface won't work with tried browsers and java

Todo

• DRAC email alerts
• Find out which generation server this is
• Fix NFS mounts
• Logins through LDAP
• Add another network interface to the bond0 for failover (on another switch)
• Seperate network interfaces for storage traffic?
• move stuff from Precious to here (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Convert_OpenVZ_to_LXC)
