Lab Gear - v3040

scotthoward — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:30:24 GMT

Though not officially supported, can someone tell me if they've install 8.2.1 or 8.2.2 7-mode on a v3040? I have a single shelf of SATA and single controller I'd like to upgrade... Also, has anyone built a single-node cDOT install of the same version?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Scott

Single node cluster is trivial. As for 8.2 ... Just try to boot it in maintenance mode. Does it work?

Thanks aborzenkov. I could try it I suppose but have an infrastructure, upwards of 50 virtual servers (monitoring, Horizon, AD, Exchange--most importantly Plex). I'm asking to save time, not for lack of knowledge on how to test if it works--I do have a spare 3040 if I'd like to commit to that task. I appreciate the response, but not the answer I'm looking for at the moment.
