hardware support for HPE Smart Array E208i-p SR Gen10 (ciss ?) and HPE 561FLR-T (ix)

2019-03-25 Thread Steiner Peter
Hello,

we have to retire some older "HP ProLiant DL360 Gen9" and want to buy the 
current model "HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10"

I'm unsure if the newer "HPE Smart Array E208i-p" is supported by the ciss 
driver
(the old "HPE Smart Array H240ar" in our DL360 Gen9 worked for years like a 
charm)


btw. I'm also checking the support of 10Gb Ethernet Adapters (to replace the 
old "HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 561T"):
I think the current "HP Ethernet 10Gb 2-port 562FLR-T" and "HPE 562T" should 
work 
because they're also based on the "Intel Ethernet-Controller X540" listed in 
the ix driver man page

anyone using these already?


thanks in advance for any field reports


greetings from Austria
-Peter

Q: Systems with Skylake based XEON silver CPUs supported by OpenBSD 6.3 amd64

2018-07-18 Thread Steiner Peter
Hello folks,

we are currently looking for new server hardware compatible with OpenBSD 6.3 
amd64.
I couldn't find a compatibility list for current systems.

We'd like to use Skylake based XEONs (e.g. Xeon Silver 4108) in current dual 
(or single) socket systems 
like "Dell PowerR640", "Fujitsu RX2530M4" (maybe "ProLiant DL360 Gen10" or 
"Lenovo ThinkSystem SR550")


Does anybody have hints for me where to look for information about hardware 
compatibility?

If someone actually runs OpenBSD 6.3 on a current XEON (or even an AMD EPIC) 
please let me know ;-)


Thanks in advance!


greetings from Austria
-Peter


PS: btw. our current OpenBSD systems have Broadwell-EP Xeon CPUs (for example 
E5-2620v4 in "Lenovo x3550M5" and "Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX2530 M2") with several 
Intel 82599 10Gbit NICs, running perfectly with OpenBSD 6.3

PPS: I already got the information that 6.3 boots into kernel panic on a 
"Fujitsu RX2530M4" with Xeon Silver 4110

recommendations for 10GBase Ethernet on OpenBSD

2016-04-08 Thread Steiner Peter
hello,

i'm looking for recommendations for 10GBase SFP+ network adapters,
anyone has experience with 10G Ethernet on OpenBSD?

i found dual SFP+ PCIe devices with the following drivers:
ix - Intel 82598/82599/X540 PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device
ixgb - Intel PRO/10GbE 10Gb Ethernet device
myx - Myricom Myri-10G PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device
oce - Emulex OneConnect 10Gb Ethernet device

cards found at my retailers:
Intel X520-DA2 E10G42BTDA
Intel X710-DA2 X710DA2
IBM X710 for IBM System x 81Y3520
Lenovo 49Y7960
Lenovo 90Y6456
HP 560SFP+  665249-B21


btw. I'll use IBM (Lenovo) X3550M5 (and maybe HP ProLiant DL360p) Pizza-Boxes
and Extreme Networks 670 (and also HP 5900AF) switches
so the Extreme Network SFP+ modules should be compatible to the NIC


thanx in advance for any field reports
