Re: HP Proliant DL360 G5

Dear FreeBSD users,

Our hardware begins to age and we plan to buy two new machines at HP.
Our choice focused on the HP Proliant DL360 G5. As HP doesn't officially
support FreeBSD, I checked with the 7.0-RELEASE Hardware Notes and
everything seems to be supported, except the network interface which is
an HP NC373i. From what I can see, only NC370i and NC370T are supported.

Can someone confirm that this chip is not supported (and that the rest
is OK) ? If you have other comments about our choice they are welcome
too ...

I have just got two new DL360G5 with xeon E5420 cpus  (HP Ref Number:
470064-731), and the on-board network cards are seen from FreeBSD7 as:

bce0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2) mem
0xf800-0xf9ff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci3
miibus0: MII bus on bce0

brgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT,
1000baseT-FDX, auto
bce0: Ethernet address: 00:21:5a:a6:8f:f0
bce0: [ITHREAD]
bce0: ASIC (0x57081020); Rev (B2); Bus (PCI-X, 64-bit, 133MHz); F/W
(0x01090605); Flags( MFW MSI )

So there are good chances it's the same on your setup?   But maybe it's
a new model of mainboard...

The one we plan to buy is this one (457922-421) :
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/be/fr/sm/WF06b/15351-15351-3328412-241475-241475-1121486-3633805.html

It seems to be the same network chipset as in yours ..
(https://h10057.www1.hp.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/05/470064-731.htm)

So I can consider that it's supported .. good! :-)

Thanks for your answers
