Going over a Sun Fire X2200 M2 from 2006. Getting it booted up and interacting with its Lights Out Management system in the browser (Internet Explorer 7!) We’ll compare it to a Sun Fire V120 from 2002 along the way. This was one of the entry-level servers in the Sun Fire X lineup of x86…

This was Sun's attempt to get into the lower cost systems. And using "PC" hardware made things much cheaper, WAY faster, and could run things other than Solaris. But they really want you to buy Solaris!
(Both Sparc and Solaris were in decline. The v20z/v40z was their first step into the "PC" era; and those were rebadged systems from newisys. If you want some for the collection, I have plenty… they're 35lbs each.)
Holly molly, I do have a 6 machines like this! I have no idea what i am going to do with it..
Also normally you can active the ID light from the ELOM, so if you are working remotely you can guide the local IT to the server in the datacenter.
The X4100 upped the game and laser etched the heatsink covers.

This server got me started on my server management career by kicking off my homelab. I was given one in 2014
2:32, Maine Coon kitteh has spoken! She's a v120 girl….😹
my comp-sci teacher has a 4u rackmount server. maybe ill see if i can buy it
Let me take a pic of an X2100 which I still have… somewhere, I believe the DVD is grey
I don't know if the previous user set this incorrectly or if it was default, but the gateway ip isn't even in the same subnet as it's IpAddress…
Huh when you showed the lights out manager for the sun box it kinda reminded me of hp's ilo/ilo2
Nice to see this review, I got six of these , all booting from fibre-channel san. I belive they only support sata, no sas . Really great server, also got the X4100 that has less memory but has the power supply redundancy and aslo SAS. Its smaler , and i still wondering why Sun made these 2 servers, cause the x2200 is more powerfull than the x4100, but less redunant.
Got a lot of sparc machines and other stuf from sun,
Running mandelbulber2 on a Sun t4-4 256 threads 😂
Nice! A quick question: at 11:16: is that a tape drive i see?
I am sad it's AMD Opteron and not Sun Sparc CPU… What a waste of potential to be an exotic architecture… Never knew they made 4gb stick of DDR2 in ECC format.
build a new modern server, this is to old
God for your, I have both Server v120 and x21000 M2. My first server is v120.
DAMN!!!! that thing is going to suck up more power then anything !! DDR2
Just when I ran out of stuff to watch tonight I saw your upload from 20 seconds ago, perfect timing! haha. Love the Sun content! Keep it coming! I've wanted to pick up a couple of the sun ray units but didn't know exactly what they were used for. Looking forward to the next video!
