New Sun X2100 servers: Anybody see any glaring issues with FBSD6 in amd64 mode with them?
So I am thinking about getting one of those new Sun X2100 servers. Was going to go with a competing item a couple days ago but these just came out and are actually priced pretty competively. Anybody have one yet or see any glaring incompatibilities with FBSD 6? Going to ship directly to a colo (where I will install via serial + term server) and going to rather annoyed if I can't get FBSD running on it. On an unrelated to FBSD question, anybody happen to know what a sun service processor is .. its in the options. Curious if FBSD can even use it or if its an OS independent funciton. http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/specifications.jsp ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know about your earlier questions, but the SSP provides in-band and out-of-band management capabilities via an optional daughter card with a DB-25 serial port and a 10/100 ethernet port. It lets you do things from the very simple like power cycling the system to complex stuff like adjust clustering and failover stuff for the high-end E1 and E15000 Starfire boxes. Hardware fault tolerance monitoring, failure alerts, and so forth. Some of the capabilities are OS-independent, but the fancier stuff probably wants you to be running Solaris to use. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
