We're successfully running 8.2-RELEASE on Dell's PowerEdge M1000e. We don't have a SAN and thus no use for FC, so I wouldn't be able to tell you about that. Why don't you just get a manufacturer to *lend* you a chassis + 1 blade server, so that you may test ? We've done that with Dell. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
