They lack PS2 ports so you need USB keyboard to work properly. When I
tried FreeBSD 7.1 on the previous generation (based on Intel 5400
Seaburg), the keyboard would not work at all, even though it worked with
7.0.
I have a bunch of Sun Fire X2100 M2 which lack PS2 too, but USB keyboard
is working fine. Did you test it with upcomming 7.2?
The IPMI daughterboard conflicts with the on-board LAN when FreeBSD is
running, causing packet loss and reduced performance and sometimes locks
you out. So you need to use IPMI with a dedicated external LAN port -
which then blocks the only available PCIe slot.
Can you explain it more detailed? Do you have model where IPMI card have
shared NIC port with standard on-board NIC? Intel 5520 Tylersburg based
Twin servers have IPMI + KVM integrated onboard with dedicated third NIC
port. May I expect problems or am I save with dedicated port?
There are 4 NIC ports on Sun Fire X2100 M2, where 2 are nVidia and 2 are
Broadcom (bge). One of those bge is shared with IPMI + KVM, but in this
case, it works fine for more than year with hw.bge.allow_asf="1" in
loader.conf. No locks, no packet loss.
What is model number of your servers?
Thank you for your reply
