I have no problem on multiple couples of R320, except the BCM5720 which cause my OpenBSD to freeze. Waiting for 5.4 improvements :) -- Best regards, Loïc BLOT, UNIX systems, security and network engineer http://www.unix-experience.fr Le jeudi 10 octobre 2013 à 20:54 -0700, Chris Cappuccio a

Re: Dell servers

I have couple of R620 in production with ix(4) as 10G NICs. You might want to disable cores you don't need and HTT (I'v done it half way). No problems so far. Below is an old dmesg with HTT disabled (else it shows up 16 cores). OpenBSD 5.3 (GENERIC.MP) #55: Fri Mar 1 09:13:04 MST 2013

Dell servers

Is anyone running OBSD 5.3 on Dell R*** series servers ? What about 10G etherner devices ? And Storage ? Is there any concern when buying these machines ? Thanks in advance.

Any recommendations on Dell servers for use with openbsd?

Hey all, I want to purchase some new gear, and I need to purchase from Dell. So, I'm wondering what others may have bought from Dell and any gotchas and such. Thanks.

Re: Any recommendations on Dell servers for use with openbsd?

Excellent page - Ive never seen that link referenced before(nor have I even heard of the profense product). But the hw compat. list is great. Anyway, my main concern is/was with the PERC controllers. From past experiences with Dell, they say you are getting the same exact server/config but it's
