Am 15. Aug, 2009 schwätzte Edward Ned Harvey so:
There have been only two times so far, when I've had something work on RHEL
and not work on CentOS. And I only remember one of them. If you have a
failed disk on a Dell server with a PERC array controller, the only way to
replace the disk without rebooting and using the BIOS PERC management
interface is to use OpenManage, and that unfortunately has RHEL proprietary
code in it. So always buy the genuine RHEL for a Dell server with a PERC
card.
Is it proprietary RHEL code or is it proprietary 3rd party code available
to RHEL?
Red Hat has been very good about releasing software code. I believe Red
Hat usually uses the GPL.
Red Hat can't necessarily get every vendor to release source code under an
open license, but it seems to try.
