I think we're live should be live okay so I'm actually really excited about this project as you guys can see I have moved all of these six workstations one CPU stuffed into our conference room so anyone who wants to have a meeting or a conference call or whatever else has like a third of the table to work with now but there's a good reason for it I actually like I need all this space in order to spread out all the things I need to connect to it in order to make sure that it is actually working because while I have done a little bit of validation like theoretically I haven't yet actually hooked up like a whack of video cards to a monitor and made sure that the whole thing is actually functioning as it's supposed to the other thing I'm going to be doing today and this is actually the main reason for the stream because otherwise this is the kind of thing I would just work on in the corner of my office and the shadows and then finally bring to light when it's time to make the video the other thing is I got what might be a really important pro tip from none other than Wendell from level one text about why he thinks here I'm just gonna move this monitors like really cool cuz it takes it's got six different display inputs or something like that and it can do four at a time tiled across the display so that's that's cool but it's really heavy so he had an idea for how we could achieve hot-plug ability for our VMs by using an additional tag on our iommu group ICS override thing so basically that's that's what we're gonna do today and we're coming along for a voyage of discovery because I'm not sure how any of this is gonna work theoretically I've got everything re plugged in since I moved it over from the other room so we're gonna go ahead and hook it up and I do have one extra trick because now that I've got four graphics cards not six yet just four because I didn't a couple more monitors in here where's where's this going right so now that I've got four displays what I wanted to do was make sure that the onboard video on this thing is working properly so that I can use that for my hypervisor so I'm going to use that for unread and then each of my six graphics cards that I'm going to use my seventh slot for this breakout cable to the daughter board so each of my six graphics cards can be passed through to a virtual machine I mean is it a virtual machine anymore when you are able to sit down like add a keyboard and mouse and monitor and use it like hot plug USB like is that a virtual machine anymore or is that like a a real machine but using virtualization no one knows all right so just waiting for it to boot up there we go okay that's good a tube don't you love it when you go live and immediately something doesn't work I'm not sure what postcode a2 is maybe it's just one of those things where if I press like go into the BIOS or something it'll pick up can you see that Brandon got a 2 over here so I had I had changed it already to use the VGA as the primary display output but I hadn't actually seen that working yet here well there you have it guys is real you know real tech troubleshooting here they pick up Brendan you did oh no I mean up yeah it's not going on over oh no I think I know what happened sometimes the server boards so now actually I'm not sure if this is what happened because it's possible that I was the one who moved this but sometimes they ship with the onboard VGA disabled with a hardware jumper and so what I'm hoping is that by moving this little this little header here normally pins 1 & 2 are enable and pins 2 & 3 are disabled you can tell pin 1 by the little silkscreen white square behind it so I'm pretty sure I just put it to pin 1 & 2 yeh ok oh I thought we were off to a pretty rough start here ok that should be better so we should be able to boot it up so basically just a recap for those of you who didn't watch the video where I was talking about six workstations one CPU and the goal here I want you to come over here so I can show them the daughterboard here so what we're doing is we're using two of them tells 28 core Xeon Platinum's and we're using virtualization in an attempt to create out of a single tower 6 8k video editing capable workstations that people could use currently like all at the same time to edit 8k video off of a single motherboard but one of the biggest problems at least from my perspective with using a VM as like a daily driver workstation is that if you want to use a USB device like a keyboard or a mouse or a thumb drive even you actually have to plug it into the system and then through your hypervisor you have to configure that USB device to be passed through to your virtual machine before you boot so if you wanted to oh I don't know say for example plug in a card reader so that you could offload some footage from an SD card you wouldn't be able to do that without shutting down your machine reconfiguring some nonsense and then turning it back on the way to get us be hot plugging so that allows you to just plug in and unplug USB devices like you normally would is to take an entire controller so you can see here I've got this daughter board that's got a whack of USB controller cards plugged into it here you take an entire controller and you pass that through to the virtual machine that way anything that you unplug or plug in to that controller is hot pluggable for that VM now if you're only running like two VMs like we did in to gamers one CPU you can actually take multiple USB controllers built into your motherboard this one has at least two on it and you can pass one of those through to one of the VMS and one of those through to the other or something along those lines as long as you don't pass through too many and you leave nothing for the hypervisor assuming that you need one there but if you've got like six there's no other board that I'm aware of that has like six USB controllers on it so we reached out to one stop systems with the idea that if we could take one of their daughter boards here which takes there's a link card that you can't really see but you can see it from the back here I'll try and get you know from the back so you take this link card here and it takes your PCI Express slot runs it over a cable so this is just PCI Express over a cable sends it to this target card and then takes that 4x pcie 3.0 link correctly and splits that out into eight slots here so as long as not everybody is like hitting their USB port with a PCI or with a like USB 3 SSD external drive or something at the same time that should be fine because this board is using the same kind of technology that your motherboard already uses to split out the lanes on the CPU to all the different slots and all the different devices that are built into it so it's using a plx chip these are quite expensive their server or grade hardware but I mean hey this is a crazy project and you got to kind of you got to do what you got to do so normally I'm gonna show you guys oh bloody hell I'm gonna show you guys the command line version of unread here sorry I just I have to I have to reboot it I want to use the GUI version here just to make my life a little bit easier so normally when you would boot up a system like this or for virtualization what your motherboard does is it groups your resources all of your devices into what are called iommu groups and then anything that is in the same iommu group has to be forwarded to the same vm so it's pretty typical for something like the VGA device and the HDMI audio device on a single graphics card to share an iommu group mind you that wouldn't normally be a problem I can't think of too many situations where I would want to have the video device and the audio device for a single graphics card go to different virtual machines that doesn't make a ton of sense but you can also run into issues where for example on a motherboard you might have your SATA controller and your network controller on the same iommu group so if you wanted to pass an ethernet controller through to your VM you would also have so you would not be able to pass that SATA controller through to another one so what happened last time around was that while this motherboard is very virtualization friendly even when we enabled the ACS override little hack that you can do we still have like I think we had something like 80 iommu groups it's a very virtualization friendly but what happened was that even though almost every device on the board could be split out individually all those devices that were on that daughter board we're in the same I Oh mmm you group which makes sense because they're all running off of the same slot so what that meant was that while we could pass through one USB controller to one of our VMs running off that one slot we weren't going to be able to get the multi slot expansion that I wanted so that I could send a separate USB controller to every one of my VMs and have every one of the editors working off of this thing able to have their own USB hot plug now I'm you know obvious solution to that would be just get another board with more PCI Express slots in the first place but those are rare and/or exceedingly expensive and normally designed for use in a custom enclosure that's like system specific so if you guys remember from eight gamers one CPU which was actually ten depending on how you slice it we actually had a server enclosure that could take ten graphics cards and I think we managed we managed to put like one other like network card in it or something along those lines so the thing had like it was like 10 or 11 PCI Express slots or something along those lines but that's it was like a rack mount servers it sounded like a jet turbine like it wasn't suitable for use as like a video workstation alright so yeah we go boop-boop and let's go ahead and start the array so settings know it's tools I was writing system devices okay so here we're gonna see with the ACS override which is a little tweak that you can do in order to try to split out devices that are sharing an iommu group we're gonna see that all of our USB controllers are on the same one but Wendell told us that there an additional flag that we can enable called multifunction that might actually help us split them out even though they're all running off of the same PCI Express slot so here you're gonna want to come in and have a look at this Brenner and see if I can controller USB here they are yeah so here's our I Oh mmm you group 70 which has got a bunch of plx bridge nonsense going on on it that makes sense because that's exactly what this thing is doing its using plx plx pci express bridges in order to split that one lane out into alright excuse me split that one slot out into many slots and you can see here all six of the cards that I have installed so here's that of kwanzaa 10 gigabit ethernet card this board doesn't have onboard 10 gig and we're definitely gonna need 10 gig for 6 people to be able to edit 8k footage at the same time and then we've got here we go 5 USB controllers but we would have to pass these all through to the same VM which completely defeats the purpose so this is sort of the moment of truth where we find out if the stream had any purpose whatsoever let's just do both of them so it might be as simple as this and apply now we're gonna reboot oops reboots not there oh there's so many CPU cores I have to scroll for days just to get past them all it's a very very first roll problem of course now we're gonna reboot and see if that fixes it this is why we usually use the magic of video editing in order to cut this like waiting around out like even when you guys watch even something that's like a I think I think the one where I was trying to get hot plug PCI Express was that like a 20 minute video Brennen 20 25 minute video something like that that was days it was like over a day of actual like shooting that was why you had so much okay cut you know you can cut okay cut and the worst part is that when you're working on server hardware instead of working on like more wait was I'm using this board oh yeah that one wasn't even that bad when we're working with actual server hardware it is a nightmare because those boards instead of taking like 2 minutes to reboot they can take 5 minutes 6 minutes 8 minutes to reboot especially when you've got like a whack of raid controllers each of which has a bunch of drives on it like our 45 drive servers so they're super mikro boards in the first place which means they already take a few minutes to do a reboot then they each have anywhere from 3 to 4 raid controllers each of which has their own boot up and initialization process they go through and each of those raid controllers has in the neighborhood of I think it's us 12 to 16 drives or 11 to 16 drives or whatever it works out to so about 15 drives each on them in some of those servers so they can take when I'm troubleshooting some some stupid thing they can take like 10 minutes per reboot cuz you got to wait around for the OS to load as well right ah it's brutal so I'm really hoping that this is just gonna be a super simple thing and you guys aren't gonna be just tuning into this live stream for no no payoff all right come on show me the boot options I mean even this like a like a more like a prosumer like a workstation grade board when you have this many devices that it has to load up every time it turns on it's a bit of a chore there we go OOP hope everybody's having a great Friday out there I'm sorry I'm not monitoring chat at all I have no idea what you guys are saying it's chat entertained oh really yeah oh well that's nice thank you hey Brandon do you want to do you want to show you know what let's do proofs in the pudding proofs in the pudding baby oh yeah let's do some pudding proof no no come on over here let's there we go here we go are we streaming live yes we are yes we can all right let's go back and see if there and see if it's booted up I know my hair is so bad right now thank you for pointing it out it's more than just the neckline that's bad it's just everything about it is terrible I need to go get a haircut but it's like you know personal appearance play with computers would you guys even like me that much if I was like perfectly groomed all the time I think I think what just happened okay we lost our displays signal now we get signal main screen on perfect I think okay start the array I'm not actually sure if I have to do that whatever shut up oh shoot I've got a weird thing with this install where I don't know what the crap it's doing but it keeps losing my cache drives every time I reboot it for some reason so no device yeah no device let's go this one let's see if that's the right order usually doesn't matter that's so weird I've never seen this before also I screwed up my vm's and I put them on the wrong I didn't put them on the cache anyway so it actually probably doesn't matter but anyway anyway anyway moment of truth moment of truth morning you are booted with peas ride etc etc come on baby this doesn't tell us the island of new groups yet we got to wait around for this to load because if this works halt this project gets so much cooler like it becomes actually usable for those wondering I'm not really planning to make my editors do this looks really promising look at this our VGA and audio devices are split up into their own groups now hold on a minute where are they we have we have a hundred and we have a hundred Oh every one of these is split out oh no way we have two hundred iommu groups on this thing now almost every single device is in its own group including our USB controllers so theoretically now we can stub them and pass them through the VMS and have the whole thing work just like sitting in front of the computer because remember guys with USB you can connect anything now like it used to be USB was just for like your your flash drive and like your mouse but probably not your keyboard cuz you were probably using ps2 for that but now if we have a couple of USB 3 ports for each VM well now all of a sudden you've got you know extra audio device options and USB audio devices are great these days like there's there's almost nothing that you would plug because remember we don't need land like there's nothing you would have on the back of a motherboard that you couldn't have through USB if you've got hot plug oh that is fantastic ok next step then wow that's a lot of scrolling oh this is fantastic okay what's going on with this VGA connection here looks a little flaky actually okay stop messing with me stop messing with me I'm having a good day oh that's tremendous okay I already wrote these down ahead of time so that I wouldn't have to go and refer back and forth to the pages so just give me a quick sec here and I'm going to pull up my thing what not now not now I am live-streaming okay here we go so multifunction blah blah blah okay so it's PCI stub ah IDs equals and then we've got okay it was 1b 21 : 12:42 comma I'll explain what this is in a minute 1033 : zero yep zero one nine four and one nine one two zero zero one five and then I think it's just a space yeah okay that should be right so I'm just gonna grab that I'm gonna copy it to the GUI mode as well mm-hmm oh no I've already I've got that there must have been tooling around with that before I often reuse my I'm raids so multifunction blah blah blah okay yes that looks good to me okay so we got a reboot now because what we just told our machine to do is to okay so what we just told our machine to do was to take those PCI identifiers x' so what those numbers are is the first four digits are the the manufacturer identifiers so Intel for example that would be eight zero eight six which is a reference and tells original 8086 processor but most most other manufacturers are much harder to read remember it's like a seemingly random string of letters and numbers and then what the second for after the colon what the second for for is the unique identifier for that particular hardware device so in the case of our USB controllers here what we've done is we've looked up you know silverstone and this particular USB controller card and what we've done is we have told the operating system the Unrated operating system that when it initializes it's going to ignore these devices it's it's not gonna it's not going to load them it's going to leave them so that we can pass them through entirely uninhibited to virtual machines so it's called stubbing oh this is going to well and yes it's live haters pre-recorded live streams who would do that monsters that's who okay that was a good time to boot up system let's go baby don't let me down b2 okay no no I mean I had a I had a feeling this might work but like seeing it work is always different because I've had a lot of feelings that a lot of things might work over the years by Wendell Wendell never lets me down when the level 1 techs go check out level 1 techs after you're done with this live stream not before but go check out level 1 text because that guy knows his shiz he was over here for our gaming on Linux thing a lot of people were upset that our gaming on Linux video didn't mention natively gaming on Linux and I have to confess we sort of took that for granted I think this is one of those cases where between me Wendell and Anthony we all sort of assumed that people would be aware you can just play games on Linux with like the Linux version of steam and stuff but we had a lot of people really upset because they felt like we made it seem like gaming on Linux was more complicated than it is because we ignored just running games on Linux natively like firing up looking-glass and all this your wine and all this kind of stuff fair point but I think actually we've got a really good opportunity to to rectify that with a new gaming on Linux video that's entirely dedicated to gaming just on Linux because steam has their whole windows games on Linux thing that they announced quite recently actually and we're we're really really interested in taking a look at that okay hopefully I design those correctly let started okay I mean this is all still theoretically actually what this thing's problem is it's been stupid he's gonna deal with that kind of stuff okay so I didn't pay attention to the serials so I'm actually not sure if this is gonna work yep there we go we're good all right so my cat so weird I always see the weird stuff when you go alive you know okay so let's just make sure everything's looking good here what what oh for crying out loud okay he's only supposed to come in if like my audio dies or something guys are messing with me here and he knew that he knows he's be everything's be everything's okay alarm this is going off everything's fine no not necessary okay USB wait what oh wait no we're expecting this yes okay so wait here's an as MediaOne and he said okay yeah no these are still here so that's fine I guess let's go ahead and have a look at what we got here and hmm that's interesting I only see one of them that is not so these are USB devices so this is the conventional pass-through method and then this is one of our controllers but what I would be expecting to see is multiples in there oh oh maybe I screwed something up in here now I'm now I'm stressed out now I'm really stressed out oh wait hold on why is there a line break here is that affecting me I'm sure there are like Linux wizards out there they were like yes that is affecting you actually didn't notice that before okay [Music] let's just make sure I typed these right one be twenty one twelve forty two ten thirty three zero one nine four nineteen twelve zero zero one five yep that's right okay let's see if that line break was messing us up because if only one of those is showing up then it looks like this might not have worked at all which would be really really disappointing right about now oh hey just so you guys know this is fun here's our process for making sure that our thumbnails are exactly as poisonous as they need to be so the editor goes through and sends me a preview and I say yes that is appropriately poisonous or not appropriately poisonous this is actually going to be a really fun video I think you guys are gonna enjoy it Brendan and I shot this this was one of those ones where nothing went right because we were trying to demonstrate the Windows activation servers rejecting the activation of our Windows once we changed a bunch of hardware and they didn't what I think is that within a certain period of time maybe of initial install or maybe within Hardware changes it might assume oh you're you're troubleshooting and ignore you but I'm sure there's like a machine learning algorithm that tries to find the people who are actually moving the hardware to a different or moving the license to a different machine incorrectly but anyway what I do is I explain why a lot of the time when we do screen capture or when you look at my screen in my office there's that activate Windows thing and though the video is gonna be called why does Linus pirate windows and I assure you guys there's actually a very good explanation so you should definitely watch that I assume that's going out like this weekend or something oh I should probably reply to him that looked pretty good to me though looks good nice I swear this is taking longer to boot up every single time oh you know what we can use this time on actually this is good so my plan today assuming that everything goes well is actually to use this monitor and I've got all four of these graphics cards plugged into it is to use this monitor to actually get four VMs running so that's why I've got all these keyboards and mice and all this space laid out for us so we can try and get things actually working yes what can I do for you so are we running out of power apparently we have no what okay thank you oh crap did I missed that oh bloody hell ah you know what I'm not gonna wait for another reboot here Brandon where do you want this plug didn't you say how do i plug it in yeah okay turn it till it feels right now baby okay we're good all right you know what I'm just gonna run and get my laptop so I can admit it over the network I just need my laptop but I have my microphones remember private Internet access is what oh they're the sponsor from the stream I didn't know we had a stream sponsor well heck yeah brother yeah all right yeah come in and interrupt me when I'm trying to just do something for with no sponsor and they're like all right fingerprint let's go let's go there we go all right it's chewing this up man so I didn't check the line break on the headless one or the non goo evil and not headless logs it's intended to be used endlessly so about 20 of 0.22 so now you guys can see I'm looking at the same interface that I was that I was using before actually you know what I could do is I could just hook this up to that monitor then we wouldn't have to really change what we're doing but that's fine not flustered I'm just doing it live which is always a little bit stressful OOP yeah stupid thing the cache is doing that we'll get it cache drive weird news science finds working okay so now you know what let's let's do that let's go ahead and use my test cart my amazing test cart that you guys probably remember from this PC can fly or we built a flying piece of here whatever whatever we called the video just gonna plug this in don't grab these this is exactly the right amount of regular USB Taipei's for a modern laptop to have - is is fine all right we'll switch I think oh no that's auto adjustment apparently maybe that one there now we'll never know the difference okay so I am hoping yeah I'm hoping yeah that's what I'm hoping check this out okay so you might have noticed I only entered three device IDs that's because these two renesis controllers are the same so if you stub one you have to stub both but that's fine and then these two as media ones are the same model the SN 1142 and then finally we've got the super old NAC one from before renesis took over any C's USB 3 host controller things like the og USB controller so that is flippin exciting we've got 5 USB controllers and now all we need to do now all we need to do is try it actually ah well let's let's go oh gee NEC let's pick a let's pick a graphics card here shall we Oh which one which one do we want you know what let's take the top slot so that would be the Quadro P 5000 right there sound card oh lordy Oh probably this one oh yeah probably that one 3 C 0 0.1 yep probably ok ah 9 course update so if everything went according to plan one of these quadrants here is gonna light up let's have a look over here Brendan so I don't actually know if this thing is on now it is HDMI one oh crap what unexpectedly closed the monitor operation not permitted let's try ws2 Oh had the NEC one there for some reason let's see if that was the problem come on baby don't let me down show me the start little triangle oh that's not good that's bad the sound cards bugging us up let's just try without sound for now we can cross that bridge when we get to it come on okay in the meantime why don't we try one of the other cards here let's try the gtx 1060 with the renaissance controller whoa hey it should be lit up now they're ready there it is okay that just like happened in the background well I wasn't paying attention which controller did I plug it into only one way to find out hold on USB gaming mouse is set up and ready that's a good sign that's a really good sign nope that's a function that's windows lock wait what do I even have anything plugged into that card oh wait I mean if it wasn't detected yet maybe that's the issue come on you bastard this one's got the num lock eliminated that's a good sign no nothing yet I might have to actually go back in like trace for the cable and ws2 is booted up so this is this is the real acid test seeing two of these VMs booted up and having them both be hot pluggable is a very solid indicator that we are going to be able to do all six because that's the limitation we're trying to get around not being able to wait not being able to do to pass through the cards plugged into that daughterboard to two VMs to two separate VMs sorry I'm getting distracted because I actually have to like think now this is this is much much further than I thought we were going to get today this is turning into a very long stream we're trending wow has anything this hardcore IT trended on YouTube in years this is like actual tech stuff not like a phone no offense to phones phones are great I like phones too as much as the next Mouse is working hey Mouse is working okay well why isn't the keyboard working wait hold on a second why isn't the keyboard working okay well you know no this is good news so I just got to find the other end of that USB cable what which one is it this one ooh where's that going did it did it did it in tracing Oh for cryin out loud didn't have a keyboard plugged into this card okay so then this is it this is the test we're gonna use that bloody keyboard so this is it this is the NEC card right here okay and then this keyboard should light up which it did and okay I'm going one two three four actually yeah this keyboard was in the right spot already and then this mouse should go here and we should be able to yes hot plug check this out look at this no pad I'm a type some cheese Yeow yes okay that's good but I want to see another one light up first so WS to hear they have a look is the 1060 so the 1060 is here the 1060 is plugged into HDMI in four but for some reason even though this is booted up this is not lighting up and I'm not sure why that would be input here we go oh well that's why because this is configured to hdmi 3 so why don't we try that oh and you can clearly see this was already working so there's that alt tab but but okay I'm trying to temper my excitement here because we're not entirely out of the woods yet it is still possible that hot-plug will not work on both of them so where's my where's my mouse for that one let me have a look here always the last one I mean it always has to be the last one because why would you keep trying if you already found the one that works all right it's always the last one you try anyway oh okay so I need to get together into the Cougar see I had all different keyboards and mice here that was the plan because I was planning based on my results last time to have to use different ones because when you pass through USB devices to the ends if you don't pass through the controllers because okay remember when I was stubbing things if you guys were watching before when you put in a hardware ID you can only stub like all of them or none of them well USB controllers have like a similar or USB devices have a similar issue so when you pass through a USB device to a VM you have to pass through all of that USB device so if I had six keyboards and six mice that all matched they would all have to go through to the same VM so that's why I had a bunch of different ones but now now that I can pass through controllers and even same types of controllers like I have to stub them all at once but I can pass each individual one through now that I can do that I can have all matching peripherals and that will make that will make my OCD excited okay so the cooler one is here so let's go ahead and unplug it and the bloody one well I really wish I had like a thing so exciting because now we're going to hold on a second that's okay so now right so what we're gonna do is we're gonna Alex and I have a whole plan laid out for this already we're gonna like this salad do another case or we're gonna custom fab something so all these are gonna be secured really like professionally you know that cool stuff oh I'm so excited right now okay if this works we should be good yes yes it's alive the project is alive let's go ahead and task manager' this up so you can see here each of my VMs one on the left actually looks a little cleaner I don't know what's going on with the resolution here this might not actually have the right drivers installed but each of them has okay 18 virtual processors so that's nine course and then nine hyper threads 18 for this one the same thing nine cores nine hyper threads we're gonna try and split it really evenly down the middle so in theory each each CPU will have three VMs so we'll be sharing six channel memory across three VMs so we shouldn't actually have to have this VM talk to this CPUs Ram almost at all so six virtual machines three on each CPU and then we'll leave a couple of cores on each CPU for the for the hosts or anything else that we want to run on ungrate or whatever else so the idea being that each system effectively has 64 gigs of dual-channel equivalent memory bandwidth we're gonna switch over to obtain drives I haven't done that because I wasn't even sure if this was gonna work those are just sitting on the table we're gonna switch over to octane drive so every system should have SSD like performance even though we're running three systems or rather six across a raid zero of our raid 10 of octane drives I mean do you guys want to see us try and light up to more like or are we done here I mean we've basically we this is it this is proof of concept now we're good I think I mean can always run into issues but like I'm pretty sure we're good but you want to see us light up the other two I'll ask Anthony Anthony what do they want they haven't spoken okay cuz they could be bored uh how many 25,000 people are watching this that's cool all right cool ha um well in the meantime until I hear from you guys I guess what we're gonna do is just start adding some more vm's then so let's all right well I can't finish the whole project today guys we've got a whole like plan like we're gonna have six cards in there they're actually gonna be installed not hanging out of these like testing PCI Express riser and nonsense here massive shout out to Thermaltake by the way for sending us all these because it's really hard to test six cards in a board unless you're using a bunch of risers but they're all gonna go in there nice and clean it's gonna be hard line water cools everything there's gonna be custom fabrication going on on our case labs case here rest in peace case labs like we can't finish today but we can certainly we can certainly get a lot closer to full validation here so let's go ahead and let's give this one did I ha we glitched out the GUI isn't that fantastic look at this there's like because it's three digits because we have a hundred and eleven threads on these two CPUs on Reed Lake doesn't know what to do with it okay so I don't actually know exactly how many course I'm enabling here that's tremendous so one two three four five six seven eight nine theoretically that's that's nine course here let's go ahead and give it 64 gigs around the system has 384 gigs around by the way so every system can have 64 gigs ish I think I might have to tone it down a little bit yeah what's 64 times 6 yeah no I'll have to tell them down just a touch but for now we can do that ah OS install whatever so I did I think theoretically throw a couple more images on here so we won't have to wait around for those to copy do you remember which cards I used already Brendan I didn't use the tight necks okay sorry I what did I use already 1017 p5 okay so definitely not tight next and then I haven't used one of these as media controllers yet those are gonna be a little bit inconvenient because I can only they have one type C port and I don't know if I have a dongle on me but let's just go ahead and fire it you know I'll go grab a dongle I'll be right back sorry one sec That moment when the host just leaves a livestream with 25,000 people waiting like I'm wasted okay so what is what is the math work out to for that Anthony if I'm gone for 10 seconds how many hours of people's time have I wasted it feels like a lot of pressure right now I'm gonna I don't even know if I wanna know the number I wasted 69 hours sorry everyone okay so ws3 is fired up oh I guess I shut down WS too but I didn't really need to well let's let's go see if it's let's go see if it lit up over here second oh wait no you know what I think it just hasn't I think it just hasn't refreshed and caught up here hello let's hope up oh did we crash the host dang it I knew we were pushing her luck you still alive there buddy come on everybody oh we crashed the host oh I wonder if I screwed up when I plugged in that type-c thing hmm I don't know it's possible that I like shorted something I don't think I grounded myself on the case first crap so just okay I don't generally wear like a ESD strap but generally if while you're if every time you stop moving you just touch something big and metal or ideally something that's actually plugged into ground you should be fine should p.m. but I did not do that hi everyone who sent a super ton troubleshooting Blake Blake why oh cool hi Blake banks I like the stream - Wow I should okay but I do also really want to get this working so that's the flip side of that ah let's okay let's let's open that okay hold on before I do want to finish my thought first okay so a good example of something that you can touch to make sure that you are actually grounded would be the casing of a power supply that is plugged in even if it is not actually powered on the casing is grounded to the ground plug of your power of your of your power cord which goes to the ground plug of your house assuming you're not in one of those places like Japan where they don't have ground plugs for some reason and then you are definitely grounded like you are not leaving your room grounded okay so yeah we boot it up in that mode again so let's go ahead and do that okay oh man now I really do feel like we're pushing our luck here stressed just fix that stupid nonsense really wasn't dealing with that right now oh this is exciting though I mean maybe you guys are my good luck charm like maybe that's what's going on here wait a minute where's my vm's tab where is my vm's tab why is a naval VM set to disable what what just happened we just crashed hard so hard oh my Wow Wow ws3 is gone okay so you know what that's fine because we're gonna take this opportunity to make sure that everything is configured correctly so WS one is going to be the P 5000 and the NEC controller cool ws 2 is going to be the first renesis controller and is going to be the no yeah the 1060 let's leave that the way that it is 1060 okay ws 3 so let's try that again ws 3 is gonna be this nonsense that you got going on here so we heard it's three three nine ten you know what let's just call that good enough I mean if it's gonna nuke our config if we crash again then I guess this is all a waste of time you know what let's just throw yeah whatever I did fifty three gigs of memory who cares okay manual user domains ws3 there's that boot disk okay now let's throw the ten seventy on that one and we're gonna do the second Renaissance controller create that okay then we are going to add a WS for and we're gonna grab I don't know let's just grab some CPU cores in here somewhere bla bla bla bla none of this really matters that much right now well we'll do everything properly later because you got to make sure that you're not taking cores across separate Numa nodes in that kind of crap so these are all just copy paste of ws1 so they're all just the same thing okay so now this one gets the Titan X and it gets one of the as Media's okay now let's take it slow let's start up one just patience I know I'm asking for a lot of patience you guys have been very patient already I think we've been at this for like an hour by the way Thank You Brandon you're a superstar what what 2 euros to get me to play Minecraft uh I played Minecraft once actually I played it with my son we were on the the Cano Cano PC thing and I didn't really get it because I'm old someday though someday I will learn minecraft ok this one's up WSU's er there we go beautiful now let's do ws2 this is gonna be my last attempt if we crash when we launch ws3 I clearly have some more complicated troubleshooting to do there might be some hardware instability or something like that like I I have never actually heavily loaded up this platform so I don't even know how how primetime ready it is there's ws2 ok I'm just gonna wait for it to boot so so yeah I don't know what caused that and there might be a little bit more work to do stuff that would not make sense to livestream the whole time come on baby good ok so here's where we crashed last time ws3 I wonder if it's those as meteor controllers John from unhurried did tell me they were junk oh but he didn't tell me why so I don't know if maybe just unstable or they cause instability or they maybe they're crappy with pasture I don't know exactly what he was talking about so it's hard for me to say okay theoretically it started so we should see it light up any second here but I haven't actually checked the inputs for that so let me just double-check that real quick here we never had it light up before right Brennan okay oh so that's gtx 1070 which is oh I haven't even tested this cable before so that's theoretically going into the type see the type C connection on the back of the monitor here and I think I did have that one set up but that's weird I haven't played around with type C display inputs much theoretically it's this top one but you know what we've actually got another option I've pulled in an extra HDMI cable just in case so two only two of the HDMI inputs on this monitor run at 60 Hertz but for testing purposes doesn't really matter because I just bumped my cards did it crash okay I just like shouldered the daughterboard because when we actually roll this out for the finished video everyone's just gonna have their own monitors anyway we won't be using any display / type C or anything like that so it won't matter okay so this goes into 1070 so yeah I don't even know if this cable works so we want to eliminate as many variables as we can here so that was HDMI in - where did I put the remote input this one what'd I say - 200 okay alright now this might tell us if it's those as media controllers that are bugging us up because ws4 is the first one I'm trying to launch here with one of those controllers so that way that was the Titan X right so the Titan X goes to HDMI three I think so let's make sure that's right HDMI one no I think it's gonna take you to my three that's how we look here oh that's a good sign there's one CPU might pull this off ah you know what I should do I should check my my Network link speed here give me one second I don't know if I hooked up a 10 gig connection to this port oh shoot I didn't so we're only running at gigabit so what I was kind of hoping was maybe I could even fire up Adobe Premiere here and do like a quick you know actual demo or something I don't know maybe we can you think we could sustain to over gigabit you've seen the data rates on the network connections while you're editing right I think we could do too I mean we can try okay just can you look away while I sign in to premiere I don't want people hijacking my stupid Creative Cloud account that would be very inconvenient okay sign me out of the other computer so I can sign in here yep fine no no I'm not I'm not done yet sorry Brendan you're going to timeout I'm gonna stare at the wall hi okay Thank You Anthony very helpful okay we're ready to sign in ready okay I wonder what Adobe's uh like login servers think of the same user logging in at exactly the same time on two different machines from the same IP it's like what is this guy doing like what what is he doing I can tell these VMs haven't crashed from the cursors that are still blinking but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna fool around with those ones too much I don't think yeah so apparently they didn't think much of that because premier is not launching over here till loading okay we went full her pa'dar oh wait there we go that's looking pretty good welcome to premier pro open a project just go find something do you have anything that you would suggest that we try to open like what's something that we're done but like barely sorry deep spark oh yeah sure okay deep spa project okay their project I feel like we're not gonna leave a lot of suspense in the finished video at this point that I guess that's fine can you think of another one I don't want to open the scene the same one twice bathroom that never smells flying PC that's probably been offloaded hey no I don't think it has for some reason okay cool well someone bugged up but that's good for us right now okay so we're gonna need 10 gigabit Network for sure in order to get decent performance out of this whole setup but convert project yeah sure whatever yeah sure whatever I think s I'm running a different version of premiere than you guys missing some video filters offline all okay now normally you wouldn't do this we want o no output devices available ah no I don't we'll deal with audio devices later because this is more than just like you know gaming on multiple VMs on a single box this is like actual workstation use with enterprise grade hardware this is cool stuff okay so here we go let's it's generating peak file for the that does take a while I'll premiere Oh premier yeah its template file structure blah blah blah oh really I don't know if we can wait that long unfortunately okay well we might have to call it I mean I can already see we're running into a bottleneck this is hitting 650 megabit per second this one's hitting 300 so right there that's it that's our gigabit this is holding us back already we need to go ten gig maybe even to ten gig connections teamed in order to make sure that all six of them are able to like real-time at it aka red footage so I guess that's pretty much it then this stream is brought to you guys by private Internet access private innocent private Internet access is the VPN with a bunch of talking points so I don't remember exactly what they are right now but basically it's a VPN so it allows you to hide your identity online allows you to use online services as though you are in a different country it allows you to avoid tracking online if you don't like people keeping an eye on what exactly it is that you're doing on the Internet and we're gonna have a link in the video description once this goes up as an archive where you can check out P ia I don't actually remember what our vanity URL is for it so let's outro this then thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video then you know I'm sorry I'm sorry you don't like fun but if you liked it hit like get subscribed maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description I don't know if you guys are going to by this stuff CPU 5-grand other CPU 5-grand ran oh boy that's gonna be like six grand worth of RAM graphics cards we got a pile daughter board five grand by the time you put all the connections and the cables and everything in it so yeah not really recommended but you can go check you can go buy a t-shirt we'll have that link below as well okay Anthony kill it by the way thanks everyone for watching
