Hello, Dell 7910 seems to be dropped from dsu catalogs entirely. That is, it no longer work on RHEL or Ubuntu. Can anyone from Dell confirm ? https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/platforms.html indicates that 7910 should be supported. It used to work until the end of last year from what I remember. Again, the hardware is mostly identical to R730. I wasn't aware of these sorts of differences in support levels between the two servers. I would not have purchased our batch of 7910 racks had this been known beforehand.
