Hi
I've been discovering OpenSolaris (I'm coming from Windows / Linux mostly) for
a Storage Server for ZFS with some Comstar iSCSI targets. - On a testbox I'm
really liking it :-)
I've had a look on the both HCL's and realized there are some differences in
terms of support of server hardware:
- Server Hardware is often only on solaris HCL ("certified")
- Desktop Hardware appears more often in Opensolaris HCL (comprehensible)
Now e.g. I've been checking the HCL for a compatible Server board and (Intel
S5520UR), it is on Solaris List but not on the OpenSolaris one. This is often
the case for "server hardwar" when I picked out other hardware.
What does that mean for OpenSolaris Compatibility?
If not on OSol HCL does it mean I have to risk its not compatible, or: In
general, it should work if it's already on the Solaris HCL?
BTW: I've given a look at Sun's 7000 series but they would surpass our
budget...sorry.
Thanks for enlightening me
Mathieu
