Thanks - I do have a somewhat similar model (a 6800 I think it is) that
I could possibly test with - I believe it has the same NIC (but doesn't
have a RAID controller, so I can't test that).

Glenn,
I've had good success with our Dell PowerEdges here. We run a 2600,
which has one PERC3 raid and 2 Xeons (although I think our PERC is based
on another chipset), and then two PowerEdge 1xxx (I think a 1650 and a
1750. I can't remember off the top of my head). 

Do you have a test box with that NIC in it? Sometimes I've found that
G4U has issues with the Broadcom controllers. There are other options
too, if G4U doesn't work.

Subject: [g4u-help] G4U with a Dell PowerEdge 6600

Hi, I'm potentially interested in using G4U to make clones of the disks
in our Dell PowerEdge 6600.  However, I can't find any references to g4u
being used with this model.

I did find a few random references to the individual components having
drivers included with NetBSD itself, but that's about it, so I wanted to
confirm - hopefully someone here has a better idea.  (It's a production
system, so I can't just "try it".)

The major components in question are:

- 4 x Xeon processors
- 2 x PERC 3/DC RAID controllers (AMI-chipset-based, I believe)
- Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit ethernet controllers

It's an older model, so I would think it should all work, but I'd hate
to schedule downtime and find I'm up a creek :)

Thanks in advance,
Glenn Mabbutt
