I'm trying to get some assistance but most of the KB's are behind a brocade wall (I Have a user account and have used it in the past but now nothing works..)

Anyone where that can help me troubleshoot? I have replaced the fans with compatible fans on eBay and they work and spin up, but when I try to login into console I just get a lot of errors :(

I have recently installed outlet metered PDUs in both my closet racks. They are extremely expense but where I work we take power consumption extremely seriously and I have been working power monitoring so I tough I should think about my homelab as well :)

PDU monitoring in grafana

The last graph shows one out of three ESXi hosts (ESX02) that has an Nvidia GTX2080ti passed to a Windows 10 VM. The VM was in OFF state.

When I powered on the VM the power consumption was reduced by almost 50% (The spike is when I ran some 3D tests just to see how power consumption was affected.. )

So having the VM powered-off results in ~70W of idle power.. When the VM is turned on and power management kicks in the power consumption is cut almost in half..

I actually forgot I had the GPU plugged into one of my ESXi hosts (Its not my main GPU and I have not been able to use it well as Citrix XenDesktop (That I've mainly used) works like shit on MacOS :(
