1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,919
this is an Apple computer but unlike the

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,599
ones that you've used before it's not pretty because it's intended to be

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:16,760
hidden away in a server rack I know right like what I mean when you think of

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:22,000
Apple you think of consumer electronics because that's the only thing that they

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,359
advertise but they not only made servers

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,920
but they quietly did so for over 20

7
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:32,119
years and by the time they reached their final form these things could be found

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,760
in businesses and schools throughout the world being used for everything from

9
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:43,200
file serving to Media workflow acceleration to Microsoft active

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:46,160
directory Services wait an apple server

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:52,079
for a Microsoft anyway the point is they were unlike other Apple products in many

12
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:55,000
ways for one the xserve lineup was

13
00:00:52,079 --> 00:01:00,239
positioned as a budget alternative to premium solutions from PC makers it's

14
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:05,400
upside down World it raises so many questions like why was it so cheap did

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:11,320
it have any redeeming qualities why did Apple ultimately pull the plug to find

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,960
out we bought the last xserve machine

17
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:19,400
that Apple ever produced and we're going to take it out for a rip this is going

18
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:22,680
to be fun Bud fun like this segue to our

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,799
sponsor set app owning this doesn't turn

20
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,960
you into a professional buy design it's more about great software and how you

21
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:32,360
use it if you're someone who creates value with the help of your Apple

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:37,439
devices you should check out all the superpowers that the apps from set app

23
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,439
can give you link down

24
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:50,200
below we considered the 2009 xserve 31

25
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:55,680
to be the last real server from Apple because while there were server versions

26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,680
of the Mac Mini until 2012 they were basically the same as their desktop

27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,880
counterparts just with some minor tweaks to the specs with third party

28
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:07,439
accessories they could be used to fill the app- shaped void in an

29
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,840
organization's rack but it was pretty clear that Apple's Focus had moved on

30
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,599
and over the next 10 years they would slowly chip away at the functionality of

31
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:21,000
their macOS server software until its eventual death in

32
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:27,959
2022 but enough about that we've got a Mac server in its prime and this is my

33
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,840
first Hands-On what exactly did they

34
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:34,239
think different well for a server she's

35
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:41,200
definitely pretty slick and stylish and weighs only a mere uh 40 lb with most of

36
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:45,400
the drive Bays not populated the system identifier button is on both the front

37
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,480
and the back when you press it it flashes both of them which is a nice

38
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,040
little quality of life feature that makes it easy to locate on the rack on

39
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:58,040
the other side of our front USB is our Ethernet port lights then right of that

40
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,480
are the system activity lights if you hold down the power button and the ident

41
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,720
Iden ifier button to boot that allows you to use the lights to select a boot

42
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:11,159
method without requiring a monitor or any input devices now given its utility

43
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:16,080
as a file server and a media server you'd think it would have a lot more

44
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,959
Drive Bays it has only three by default

45
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:24,120
ah an xer server would normally be paired with an X raid which as you

46
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,519
probably guessed is a rackm mounted raid enclosure that would sit either right

47
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:32,000
above it or right below it giving it an additional 14 drive base now obviously

48
00:03:30,519 --> 00:03:36,840
we're not going to deploy this thing so we don't need one of those but we do

49
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:41,439
need at least one and we were missing all of them out of the box so we had to

50
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:47,239
order one off of eBay as it turns out the sleds are proprietary which isn't

51
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:50,760
uncommon but the connectors are also

52
00:03:47,239 --> 00:03:52,000
proprietary which is uncommon we

53
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,720
received what may have been one of the last remaining sealed X serve drives in

54
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:02,360
existence fun fact by the way for both the xserve and the X-ray the drive

55
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:08,079
themselves are just standard SATA and SAS hard drives and then beyond adapting

56
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:12,239
them to this proprietary interface Apple also went a step further and vendor

57
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:17,400
locked them through the firmware so even if you could get your hands on random

58
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:22,199
extra sleds you couldn't simply upgrade them with off the-shelf Replacements

59
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:27,360
bastards they weren't the only ones who pulled this kind of crap but that

60
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,800
doesn't make it okay I can't wait to take this apart this thing is just kind

61
00:04:29,039 --> 00:04:35,759
of wild to me right some stuff may not be normal today but was at the time like

62
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:39,919
having a slim optical drive in the front of your server but other things were

63
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:47,560
weird even then like the fact that it has firewire ports and mini DisplayPort

64
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:51,120
instead of just basic VGA how does Apple

65
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:53,880
always manage to make Hardware look so

66
00:04:51,120 --> 00:05:01,360
pretty and what are you you look like a weird little Drive

67
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:04,440
of some sort yo Tanner yes what the

68
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,960
devil is this little guy here that

69
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:12,320
little guy is the primary hard drive for it so even drive yeah even when all

70
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:18,039
three of these are empty your operating system is still going to go on there and

71
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:20,720
it uses a proprietary connector because

72
00:05:18,039 --> 00:05:26,280
just it can I'm assuming I'm going to find the fans under the cool little

73
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:30,199
shroud yay so there they are they may be

74
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:34,280
short but boy are they ever thick what

75
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:37,400
is this card this thing is chalk full of

76
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:40,199
what appears to be both nand Flash and

77
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:47,360
Dam Tanner when you told me this thing is basically just a 2009 Mac Pro but in

78
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:54,520
server form I didn't think I was going to be finding whatever this is would

79
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:57,560
that possibly be a raid card oh yes that

80
00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:00,319
is very possible confirmed this is a

81
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:06,639
RAID card and you could have apparently buy this raid card as a PCIe card as

82
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:12,400
well that is hilarious and if I had to guess I would

83
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,199
say this plug right here is the same one

84
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,800
that this one is using for its backup battery because I don't see a backup

85
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:22,039
battery in here and under normal circumstances you would want to have a

86
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:27,080
battery on a hardware raid card because that way any data that was in Flight

87
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:30,160
like sitting in the cash on the raid card about to be written to the hard

88
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:35,000
drives in the event of a sudden power loss could be preserved by keeping the

89
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:39,800
card powered so that it could be flushed to the drives after the fact or it's

90
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:46,599
possible that Apple assumed that if this thing is sitting in a data center

91
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,800
somewhere oh no that there should be no

92
00:06:46,599 --> 00:06:53,599
reason for it to suddenly lose power I need to find all those screws

93
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:59,160
fortunately I've got the LT store screwdriver complete with magnet screw

94
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:04,759
finding bit hopefully these are fair as screws ah yes they are oh good one two

95
00:07:02,919 --> 00:07:08,759
got another dual gigabit network card here I'm assuming this is just gigabit

96
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:13,120
right yes yeah all right nothing special about that but what I'm really

97
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:20,919
interested in is this card under it you know what this looks like an mxm

98
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:24,440
module is that what it is is this a GPU

99
00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:30,400
yep why the hell are they putting laptop

100
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:33,240
gpus in servers huh oh and it's NVIDIA

101
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:38,199
this is before they started quarreling and uh didn't use any of each other's

102
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:44,520
products anymore for anything what is this I believe that is a

103
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:49,919
gt130 I love when Apple Builds an upgradability into their products and

104
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:54,440
then completely abandons them like the 2019 Mac Pro you know this reminds me of

105
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,759
the 2019 Mac Pro in more ways than one you've got the unrealized upgrade

106
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:02,520
potential and then you've also got the fact that it's uh rack mounted server

107
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:07,960
version of what is essentially the same Hardware running the same software Mac

108
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,520
OS it's just that when the 2019 version

109
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,479
rolled around and we thought o maybe they'll you know pay attention to the

110
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:17,800
server space again clearly that didn't happen and oh wait yeah I guess that's

111
00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:23,199
not really a difference cuz that also happened here they were also both based

112
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,840
on Intel platforms with risk-based CPUs

113
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:32,000
that would proceed and follow them one difference is that I wouldn't describe

114
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:34,399
the xserve lineup as a failure so where

115
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,959
did these things come from well it was ultimately Apple's strong foothold in

116
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:43,159
the education and media sectors that really kept these things alive so

117
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:46,120
naturally those are two areas that remained strong targets when their

118
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:51,600
Enterprise equipment first started rolling out with the new OS X created as

119
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:56,200
a Rebrand with the return of Steve Jobs and the later release of the iPod so to

120
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,600
continue to fit into these markets they allowed easy integration into existing

121
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:04,519
Windows heavy environment ments easy creation and maintenance of workflows

122
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:09,640
for things like Network installation of newly purchased Mac and a video podcast

123
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:15,560
creation system that required minimal human intervention that ran best on xerf

124
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,640
this last point is also important because it allowed Apple to help

125
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:23,560
saturate the podcast section of iTunes with videos that were made to be viewed

126
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:28,160
on things like the existing iPod video and then later the iPhone Educators

127
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,760
could put lectures online media companies could expand to new mediums

128
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:38,000
and enthusiasts were rewarded for their purchase with some of that delicious

129
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,160
sweet content M

130
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:46,279
content oh yeah right we're supposed to be making content about this uh let's

131
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,519
turn it on wow those are just about the

132
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:55,240
brightest network activity indicator LEDs I have ever seen I'm here for it I

133
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:58,040
appreciate that hey look at that uh

134
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:02,680
what's my name LT daddy oh sorry what we're booted up into snow left

135
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:06,959
but the way we got here was very complicated with no drive for it the

136
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:13,279
system initially booted into recovery for yosity but recovery would get stuck

137
00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:15,720
because it required an Apple ID well

138
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:19,600
Apple IDs these days require two Factor authentication which is something that

139
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:24,320
was missing from the signin process on our yosd recovery Drive the work around

140
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:29,560
is to put the 2fa number at the end of the password but then it refused to

141
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:33,360
authenticate because the TLs and SS L encryption that were baked into the

142
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:38,160
operating system we using expired keys and there was no way to update them the

143
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:44,079
newest macOS version that supports the xerf is lcy 10 so you might say just

144
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:49,079
install that right wrong when you try to create a bootable USB installer on

145
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:54,800
something more modern like uh 2017 MacBook Pro it'll tell you that lcy 10

146
00:10:52,279 --> 00:11:01,760
will not run on the machine and refuse to create the device Apple if you need a

147
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:08,000
working operating system on a machine in order to install an operating system on

148
00:11:05,079 --> 00:11:13,040
that same machine users with faulty drives on older systems are forced to

149
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:17,560
take their devices to The Genius Bar I am not rolling up to the Guildford Apple

150
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:23,920
Store with this thing they hate me enough already so we settled on Snow

151
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,920
Leopard server it installed fine though

152
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:30,360
it still refused to run the installer for lcy 10 because we needed to install

153
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:34,600
software updates software updates wouldn't install because there was no

154
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:38,560
app store and the Apple website couldn't be accessed to download the App Store

155
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:44,360
and Safari because the old version of safari doesn't support apple.com

156
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:48,600
security so we had to download Chrome to download the App Store to run the

157
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:53,959
updator to run the installer to update the operating system and then finally

158
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:59,240
with lcan installed all the server software was missing as it turns out

159
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:03,399
after snow leopard server Apple stopped producing server specific versions of

160
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:08,959
their operating systems made the old bakedin programs stop working after the

161
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:14,800
upgrade and then they released the OS 10 server Suite as an app in the app store

162
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:16,480
it only cost 20 bucks so no big deal

163
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:22,959
except that they stopped selling it in April of 2022 and we have no way to get

164
00:12:20,199 --> 00:12:29,240
it we settled then on dual booting so that we can show off both the latest

165
00:12:24,959 --> 00:12:30,720
software and the X serves features Apple

166
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:35,519
we're not saying you have to support your old Hardware but to intentionally

167
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:41,800
make it impossible to use that's just plain

168
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:44,440
rude maist server super cool uh wait

169
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:48,800
okay so sorry is this the page oh yeah very cool right out of the box then the

170
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:52,120
web server is running and we just have to go to the IP address of the server

171
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:57,320
that brings us to a portal for various web services that are available then on

172
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,320
the dock we've got the default server applications that set this apart from

173
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:05,399
the Reg snow leopard that would have come on your late 2009 MacBook server

174
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:09,320
preferences allows you to change basic settings for users in groups file

175
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,079
sharing which functions the way you would assume a file sharing server would

176
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:17,079
mail and IAL which would allow it to theoretically function as a replacement

177
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:21,639
for Microsoft Exchange I chat The Familiar chat client from the era though

178
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:26,279
this time hosted for use within work groups which allowed organizations to

179
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:28,519
maintain their own chat logs inhouse and

180
00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:31,920
they could Federate with xmpp servers to allow for chat between members and

181
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:36,040
different organizations it's got web which handled the web server with the UI

182
00:13:33,839 --> 00:13:40,120
making it super easy to implement simple internet Pages VPN which allowed users

183
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:44,279
to connect using layer 2 or point-to-point tunneling time machine

184
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,040
which has the server function as a storage place for other Macs in the

185
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:52,000
network to dump their time machine backups and security which is pretty

186
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:57,120
much just firewall rules there are also some icons to see general information

187
00:13:54,079 --> 00:13:59,880
text logs and system usage graphs all of

188
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:04,560
this stuff looks very Apple so far right in a yeah it works but it can't be

189
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:08,560
customized much going of way and if that's how you want to manage your

190
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:11,079
server it's kind of a great product cuz

191
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:17,600
that's how it'll function for you but right beside server preferences here is

192
00:14:13,959 --> 00:14:20,600
the server admin button and this is the

193
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:23,560
real powerhouse this window gives access

194
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:28,720
to much more minute details and some other functions that were hidden from

195
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:31,279
view in preferences for some reason

196
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:35,959
puzzle ly this is the only way to access things like SMB for acting as a PC

197
00:14:33,959 --> 00:14:41,279
compatible file server QuickTime streaming and podcast producer podcast

198
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:46,320
producer was a pretty cool idea that allowed networked users to easily record

199
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:51,079
video podcasts following workflows that were created beforehand in podcast

200
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:55,600
composer two cameras could be connected to the server and then could be recorded

201
00:14:53,240 --> 00:15:00,680
from at once with the recording process controlled using the web portal or the

202
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:04,519
podcast capture application on Mac once the recording was complete it would

203
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:08,240
automatically be encoded and could even be published automatically if that's

204
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:12,160
what the workflow called for if there were multiple servers in the network

205
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:16,639
configured through X grid CPU heavy tasks like encoding could be offloaded

206
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:20,199
to those servers this was probably a pretty great system to record things

207
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:24,600
like University lectures without requiring too much human intervention or

208
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:29,319
tying up all the compute power from a single server moving on there's workg

209
00:15:27,079 --> 00:15:33,560
group manager which is exactly what it sounds like podcast composer which

210
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:37,519
allowed management of things like the workflows used in podcast producer

211
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:43,600
screen sharing which worked like most VNC remote access tools but was Mac

212
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:46,199
specific and system image utility a

213
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:51,440
super cool tool for creating customized Network bootable and installable images

214
00:15:48,959 --> 00:15:56,399
of snow leopard this could be used to deploy standardized installs to a lot of

215
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,920
computers at once or to have networked computers boot right off of the image on

216
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,040
the server considering that this breadth of

217
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:09,600
features came baked into a server OS that had an easy to ous guey with no

218
00:16:07,079 --> 00:16:13,480
cost added on top of the hardware it's a little surprising that the product

219
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:17,759
wasn't popular enough to survive especially when you account for Windows

220
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:22,720
Server absolutely ridiculous pricing structure I mean not only does Windows

221
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:28,440
Server cost more than Desktop Windows the client access licenses or cows mean

222
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:34,880
that you have to pay an additional license fee for every user who is going

223
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:37,000
to access that server or come to think

224
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:43,160
of it maybe that's what makes all of this not surprising at all like any

225
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:47,920
Corporation Apple's raison Detra is to make money and being a forward-looking

226
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:52,720
company Apple would have clearly recognized that the world was moving to

227
00:16:50,079 --> 00:16:58,920
cloud-based storage and services rather than locally hosted ones so with that in

228
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:04,000
mind are they better off trying to literally compete and increase their

229
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:08,640
one-time licensing costs for these bare metal servers or are they better off

230
00:17:06,439 --> 00:17:13,959
charging users monthly to build up their own centralized infrastructure and

231
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:16,839
subscription-based revenue well I think

232
00:17:13,959 --> 00:17:20,400
we all know the answer to that but that doesn't mean the ex serve is totally

233
00:17:18,439 --> 00:17:23,720
dead there's an active Enthusiast community that is dedicated to keeping

234
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:29,160
these machines in service turning them into personal servers budget Mac Pro

235
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:32,559
Replacements or whatever Franken monstrosities their Little Mac loving

236
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,760
Minds can come up with LTT and Frankenstein monstrosities actually go

237
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,480
hand in hand and what better way to monsterfy something than to turn it into

238
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:43,080
a formidable gaming machine now unfortunately we ran into some

239
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,280
challenges getting that going for today not the least of which was that we

240
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:54,679
wanted to upgrade the CPUs for better performance and it turns out Apple uses

241
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:57,080
delited zons like what are they the the

242
00:17:54,679 --> 00:18:01,880
play it safe fruit company or are they a bunch of mad scientists enthusiasts I

243
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:05,840
can never tell anyway let me know in the comments if you want to see a followup I

244
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:10,960
think that would be a lot of fun fun like this segue to our sponsor Micro
