RE: HP Server compatability
freebsd amd64 runs fine on this Ted -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tim Kellers Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2007 1:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Tim Kellers Subject: HP Server compatability I thought e would be purchasing a Dell 2950 to use as part of our FreeBSD 6.2 server farm, (and thanks to everyone for their informed replies), but due to other circumstances, our client wants to purchase a HP ProLiant ML350 G5 SAS LFF - Rack Server. The only experience I have with HP is their printers and I know nothing about their server compatability with FreeBSD. Does anyone know if this unit is compatible with FreeBSD 6.2 or has anyone actually installed it on one? Any pointer to pitfalls and/or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Well, it should look just the same as using the Dell stuff, except there might be a couple different device driver names and the escape to BIOS during boot might be a different key. All else should be just the same.If you got SCSI (or SAS) disk, about the only different driver might be the NIC and possibly a RAID card driver and they work, just have different names. jerry Tim Jerry McAllister wrote: On Sat, Sep 29, 2007 at 04:21:26PM -0400, Tim Kellers wrote: I thought e would be purchasing a Dell 2950 to use as part of our FreeBSD 6.2 server farm, (and thanks to everyone for their informed replies), but due to other circumstances, our client wants to purchase a HP ProLiant ML350 G5 SAS LFF - Rack Server.
