Hi, I've been following the discussion about opteron servers, and when I am finally allowed to go get a few servers, I find that HP and IBM have both changed their servers. IBM's eserver 325 is now 326, and HP's DL145 G1 is now the G2.
Have anyone bought any servers from a Tier-1 (ibm, hp, dell[1]) recently that is opteron based, that works fine with openbsd? Additionally, any success with hardware raid? I realize you can use non-onboard PCI cards, but how easy was it cabling those things to the hard drives in the 1U cases? Any other recommended vendors? One of the people signing off on this has some issues with Sun, so that's probably not going to fly. Thanx for any recommendations. -Tai [1] I've heard that dell will OEM opteron boxes if you _must_ have them.
