That helps. Thank you. This is an academic departmental instructional / research environment. We had a great relationship with Sun, they provided great opportunities to put Solaris in front of students. Oracle, not so much, and the Oracle single-tier support model simply isn't affordable for this "business" (there's no ROI at the departmental level <g>). Solaris is not a viable option. FreeBSD looks like the next best available option at the moment, particularly considering the use of the storage heads as compute machines. OpenIndiana shows promise. Nexenta has a great product, but the user community expects more flexibility in software options. Is there anything like a list of "supported" (known good) SAS HBA's?
Most of my HBAs are LSI controllers flashed T. I'm fond of the 9211. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
