Hello all, I (seem to) remember some time ago that the general advice was to disable power management where possible. Is this still correct, or have I been imagining this all along?
I recently took delivery of a box with an E5 v4 CPU, and SmartOS would panic on boot due to expecting the `mwait` CPU feature. I have managed to get the box to boot by allowing C0-C2 states, but it is somewhat unstable. Although I do think this is quite likely to be a hardware issue, which CPU power management features can SmartOS actually take advantage of, and what is recommended? I plan to open an RMA for the box next week, but it’s probably worth making sure that my running configuration is actually valid, first. If memory serves me correctly, the CPU and board firmware can support a variety of C-, T- and P-states, amongst other features that either aren’t selectable or don’t exist on other hardware I have.
