Hi,

We run quite fine here with 4.2-current from today on a DL320G5, after:

enabling write cache in the HP Bios !
enabling amd64 bsd.mp
enabling acpi
enabling write cache for wd0 in the system with:

# atactl wd0 writecacheenable

Before we had horrible 2MByte write speed, now we have 67MByte.

The bge interfaces also seem to run fine.

cheers Kai

Hello evo,

  I'm   upgrading   my  servers/firewalls  to HP ProLiant DL320 G5, and the
experience...  isn't  easy.  First  of  all you need to allow acpi in an MP
kernel,  otherwise it's slow and unstable (it's disabled by default and not
really documented).

  Then you have couple more issues I couldn't resolve yet:

  Fists - uhci (uhci4 in my case) giving an error during boot and shutdown:

  The  second issue (maybe related to the first one) - iLO 2 Remote Console
(requires  an  iLO2  Advanced License) makes the OS (OBSD) to (deadly) hang
every time you connect. No error messages, no keyboard/IP response, doesn't
react  to  anything  but  hard  reset signal. This is very sad, because the
ability to remotely manage/fix servers in case of serious errors was one of
the reasons to buy a brandname.

e> Which one's hardware better supported? Internal NIC's, SCSI e> (Sun)/SATA(HP) controllers?

  Integrated  NICs  are  Broadcom (bge). Their support is not included into
floppy42.fs,  which  might be a (small) issue. There is also a problem with
speed  autodetection  if  you  plug the network cable after boot, but doing
ifconfig down/up resolves it.

  SATA  is recognized as wd, and working with speed of wd (PATA) - not very
fast. Shouldn't be an issue for a firewall (may be will slow down squid).

e> And if you had to choose - what would be your choice today?

  I would get DELL. ;) But maybe they are just an unknown evil...
