Bladecenters and freebsd
Hi I am currently seeking a bladecenter solution that is supported by FreeBSD. As much as I would enjoy buying one and test it out, this method could come out very expensive. we need to replace our old IBM Bladecenter by more recent equipment. I have looked at ixsystems but they only provide a solution that supports ethernet/infiniband modules. I am wandering if a solution such as a bridgex (http://www.mellanox.com/content/pages.php?pg=products_dynproduct_family=54menu_section=52) could give me the best of both worlds? but I have never played with any similar device. Does anyone have any current bladecenter hardware that is running FreeBSD? Ideally this bladecenter would possess Fibre Channel modules in order to speak directly with our current SAN. Any gotchas, I should be aware of?

Re: Unable to reach hosts outside my subnet after initial installation
Edward Lay wrote: From: Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check and/or create /etc/nsswitch.conf so you are looking in files and dns for hosts. Check or create /etc/resolv.conf make sure your upsteam DNS servers are listed in this file along with any local caching DNS servers. Thanks for the suggestion. Those files already exist with valid entries though. In any event, it doesn't seem like a hostname problem as I can nslookup arbitrary hosts and then try and then ping the IP numbers directly which fails for hosts beyond the local subnet. It seems more like a router/gateway network configuration type of problem. I've just discovered that when I ping the gateway's IP address, I get no answer. Now I know the gateway is functioning as every other host on the network can reach the rest of the internet and in fact, I've just successfully ping'd the gateway from the machine where I'm writing this message. So I'm wondering what could cause this or at least some way of approaching the problem. thanks ed There are 3 things that need to be configured in order to have a network connection on an initial start, the IP, Gateway and Route. I am ruling out the fact that it might be the firewall, cause you state that this on an an initial install and I would try another ether cable if after this setup it still doesn't work. make sure both these entry are in your rc.conf : ifconfig_vr0=inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 defaultrouter=192.168.0.1 You will need to replace vr0 by your network card, and replace all IPs for your own. if you modify the settings in the rc.conf you can execute /etc/netstart in order for the settings to take effect.

Have you looked into the whereis(1) command? -Modulok- there is alot of differents ways to search for a port that you are looking for. My first suggestion would be to read this article from the freebsd handbook; http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-finding-applications.html . Some people enjoy using some websites to do their searches since they value that more information can be used to search. Here are some of the sites : http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ http://www.freshports.org/ http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/ These are ones that come to me as I am writing this, they're are most likely several other websites that will give you some similar information such as these. I would suggest that you refer to the handbook when you ask yourself questions concerning the operating system. The handbook is a great reference that I even use quite often myself when I am in doubt on a certain subject. Pascal S.

It's an emergency server build, and needs to be solid and fast. Will FreeBSD have any problems running on the following hardware? Which would be better FreeBSD 6.3 or 7? Intel Quad Core Extreme 3Ghz, LGA775 Asus P5K-E Motherboard (P35 chipset, Onboard LAN) 4G Kingston DDR 2 RAM (PC2 6400) Seagate 500G, SATA 2, 7200RPM GeForce 7200GS 128MB 32-bit GDDR2 PCI-E x16 Video Card (basically a cheap vid card) Samsung SATA CD-ROM All these components will work. I have not tested the Geforce 7200, but I doubt that it will give you any problems. Pascal Clermont Thanks in advance.
