Really? Man, I have been given this spanking new HP DL370 G6 and running Centos 5.4 on it...
I've got a couple of DL380's at one setup and another 12 DL360's at another place. We have had enough problems with interfaces that all the machines are now running off remote-storage. Our storage incident rate has gone from 1/day average to under 2/month since then.
all of these machines are G4 and G5's running CentOS-5/x86_64
just curious, which storage controllers in those DL380/360 servers? each of those numbes describes like 6 generations of x86 servers.
if I want a lots-of-2.5" SAS dual e5500 kinda server, where should I go if HP's storage is so broken?
As I replied to another post, I think it's unfair to say that HP storage is broken. We have roughly: 30 p400 (mostly 2x raid1) 50 p800 (mostly 12x1T raid6) <10 other cciss
and the only problems we really suffer is: * performance is not great * /dev/cciss is not a scsi dev (which is a minor annoyance in linux at times) * 1T seagate drives fail at many times the rate of hitachi
