I'm planning to replace our mailhub with a new HP Proliant 380

I have an HP Netserver 6000r, 4x700mhz, 4GB RAM, 4x80GB scsi disks. It
will take up to six procs. It's presently running FreeBSD 5.4 without
incident
It runs beautifully, and I'm sure it would take 6.1 without trouble at all.
I warmly welcome any feedback on admins that runs FreeBSD SMP
6.1 on that kind of machines with scsi disks.
Similarly, I have 6000r with 6 CPUs, 4x18Gb disks and 2Gb RAM running
6.0-STABLE (as of February 2006). I haven't seen anything suspicious in
any shape or form.
You might have to disable ACPI (or APCI, I can never remember: the thing
that does power management) explicitly, but that's probably a pretty
sane thing to do on a server.
I'm running 4.10 and 5.2.1 on a number of G3 DL-380s with HP SmartArray
RAID setups and no real problems either, apart from cruft slowly
building up (but hardly the fault of the OS). I would be pretty
confident about installing 6.1 on them (and I probably will this summer).
