-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
we are planning to upgrade our virtualization infrastructure in the near future. We are currently looking at 2 Dell PowerEdge R720 or R715. The hardware (more or less): - - Intel Xeon E5-2650v2 - - 24+ GB RAM - - H710/H710P RAID controller - - Broadcom 5719 or Intel I350 network adapter (quad-port) We definitely want to use Gentoo as the host system with virtual machines running on either xen or kvm on top of it (on local storage) but i'm fine with running another, "better supported" distribution as the host system. Has someone this or a similar system running on linux (preferrable Gentoo) and can give me some infos about the hardware support? I think the most interesting part are the NICs and the RAID controller. * From a quick tour through google it seems that the both NICs are supported. What about the hardware features like VLAN and Bonding/Teaming? * The H710* RAID controllers seem to be supported (megaraid) too. Can someone confirm this? * What about hardware sensors? Thanks.
