So I'm constantly searching the interwebs for a good hardware vendor who ships well supported Solaris/Illumos-compatible kit. I know of the offerings by all the big names in the field (HP, IBM, Dell) and while their hardware is generally good, their Solaris support is often times a story of extensive searching and checking of compatibility lists. Even simple operations, such as getting a proper pure HBA instead of their craptalistic hardware RAID often times turns into an uphill battle. And no need to recommend Oracle, I used to be a big fan of Sun kit, but ever since Oracle turned them evil, I want to have nothing to do with them (e.g. I'll never forgive them for killing off the Sun Fire X4540).
At the moment I use Dell hardware, but seeing as their new line of internal HBAs (H310/H710) lack Illumos support, I'll probably be forced to go somewhere else. Do you guys know of somebody who ships servers and storage similar to the big-names and has a similar level of support? (e.g. call to repair, 6-hour response, etc.) Cheers, -- Saso _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
