Very true :-)

Thank you for the links, Alex. The matrix overview was useful.

Hi,

Any folks on this list who have installed CentOS 6.3 on the new Dell Poweredge R815 servers? How was your experience? Thanks

Dell Poweredge R815 isn't new. That's the 11th generation, superseded by the 12th generation like R820.

Officially Dell does not support CentOS. And the RHEL update release 6.3 isn't even supported.

*snicker* Yep. On the *other* hand, their OMSA utility boots in CentOS.

No problem, goes nicely, *EXCEPT* that it demands that the NICs be em1, etc, *not* eth0, etc.

You can install CentOS with biosdevname=0 Make sure you enter it when booting from the installation CD (or pxeboot, kickstart, ...)

Thank you for the feedback. I also have 6.3 running smoothly on a 2850 (up till now). I don't expect any major issues with R815's but just checking in case somebody found otherwise.

I don't have any R815's, but I have run CentOS 6.3 on a variety of other Dell hardware (PE2900, R410, R710, etc) with no issues at all.

I've even got CentOS 6.3 running on 650s & 1850s with no problems whatsoever (so far).

Cheers,

Phil...
