Then we preserve our xserve identification gaining 12 core config with nvme boot without cross-flashing tower-based cibling firmware. Just an idea though.

2015年7月20日 · My rationale for powering ahead with the existing Xserve has been - the robustness of a 6 year old Xserve versus a new Mac Pro or Mac mini. Since the Xserve has redundant power supplies and redundant internal drives, it would always be a better bet than a consumer level machine. If it dies, we'd replace it with another Mac.

2009 Xserve 3,1 I flashed it to cMP 5,1 (144), installed 2x X5675s and 8x8gb 1333 ram. I have been experimenting with a modified smbios in OpenCore. I used OC to inject my original serial number back in and to turn it back into/ identify as an Xserve. I have iCloud, etc.

You will need to edit one file to add the logic board id of the xserve so that the os thinks it's a supported board. A newer video card would be helpful as well.

2003年6月9日 · Apple dropped support for the Xserve2,1 when Mountain Lion was introduced back in 2012, but the MacPro3,1 was retained and will be able to run the upcoming OS X Yosemite. These machines share a very similar architecture, the main difference being the Xserve's built-in Radeon X1300 video. Rather...

2018年8月30日 · I think i remember something about using windows to put the LSI contrôler of the apple xserve raid card into « maintenance mode, and that turn it into a regular disk controler with no raid fonction, and then on mac os reboot any mention to raid card is erased.
