Hi:
I would like to intall CentOS in our new Server. We are considering to buy a HP ProLiant DL360 G5 with 2 Intel® Xeon® Quad Core processors. This imply that that server has 8 cores. We would like to mount 3 disks SAS. Is this configuration compatible with CentOS 4.4 ??
thank you in advance, Benjamin

I have Centos 4 running on a DL360 with the RAID controller. Works.
BTW, this is a spanish mailing list.
maybe you could have some problems with the hard drive controller ... I suggest you to ask in the HP forums or support ;) Maybe you should consider upgrading to CentOS5... That release does have some controllers which aren't in v4 ... Or maybe not: look at this: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=8812&forum=39
Greetings ;)

Lo mejor es que revises el tema de compatibilidad en la página del proveedor de hardware, si está certificado para RedHat 4 o RedHat 5 entonces sus equivalentes en CentOS funcionarán con ese hardware.
Nota muy importante.- Certificado no quiere decir que vas a poner los CDs de instalación y que todo el hardware se va reconocer/instalar al pelo. Es muy probable que no se así, mas bien certificado se tiene que entender como que el fabricante de hardware tiene controladores (software adicional) para que determinados dispositivos de hardware funcionen correctamente con la versión del SO certificado.
Además recomiendo leer la guía de instalación del software _proporcionada_ por el fabricante.
Hace poco me pasó con un equipo HP que no me reconocía los discos SAS, tenía que iniciar la instalación en modo avanzado (que no detecte hardware) y elegir manualmente el controlador, luego de eso recién miraba los discos. Eso lo hallé en el soporte de HP.
Saludos y éxitos !
