Hi All, Not sure if this should be posted here. Maybe in the 'drivers' forum.
But I was wondering how many people have been able to get OpenSolaris Nevada Build 27 to install on an HP DL380 or DL580? Currently I've been wanting to test OpenSolaris on one of these machines, my entire facility is 95% HP/Compaq - HPAQ! :-) hardware for our x86/x64 based systems. All of our 'real' computers are Sun SPARC systems, have plenty of machines to play with on that end, BUT our windoze guys gave up a few of their old servers and so now I have a few HP/Compaq DL380/G2s and one that has an external JBOD/RAID array and would like to get OpenSolaris NV B27 installed on it. I have a new Dl580 given to me to test Solaris 10 to run/test Oracle 10g OC4J. Today I dl'ed the x86 version and tried it out on the Dl380 G2 and when it boot the first CD, it hung shortly after the Grub menu. At this hour and since the mahcine is at work, I unfortunatley cannot recall the exact location (yea I know that would probably help) of where it appeared to have hung, I am assuming that after 15 minutes of 'waiting' I should give up? no? How is the status of the CCISS driver? Will this be included stanard in the Solaris kernel? I don't really play around with the Intel side of things, so I'm sorry if these are 'dumb' questions. any info would be greatly appreciated!
