Hi all, I've just been to the FreeBSD Proliant website http://people.freebsd.org/~jcagle/ I also checked the freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org archive, apart from John Cagle's welcome message it's empty. Before I ask him I want to turn to this list. Judging by the variety of tools available on the site it doesn't look that bad for FreeBSD on these machines. But I'm still interested whether anyone's already running FreeBSD STABLE on a DL385, maybe even with ~3GB RAM, an Opteron CPU, ~4 SCSI disks in a RAID-5 array hosted by the onboard Smart Array 6i chip, a hot-swappable DAT72 tape drive, and iLO. Are all devices working well, are the HDDs and the tape drive hot-swappable, is the iLO working as it should? Any issues? I'd really like to drive this machine with FreeBSD, but I can't afford to waste more than 3 days testing functionality before it has to be productive. So I'd be really thankful for any information on this combination. Kind regards, Lars.
