Hi all, |
5 |
|
6 |
we are planning to upgrade our virtualization infrastructure in the |
7 |
near future. We are currently looking at 2 Dell PowerEdge R720 or R715. |
8 |
|
9 |
The hardware (more or less): |
10 |
- - Intel Xeon E5-2650v2 |
11 |
- - 24+ GB RAM |
12 |
- - H710/H710P RAID controller |
13 |
- - Broadcom 5719 or Intel I350 network adapter (quad-port) |
14 |
|
15 |
We definitely want to use Gentoo as the host system with virtual |
16 |
machines running on either xen or kvm on top of it (on local storage) |
17 |
but i'm fine with running another, "better supported" distribution as |
18 |
the host system. |
19 |
|
20 |
Has someone this or a similar system running on linux (preferrable |
21 |
Gentoo) and can give me some infos about the hardware support? I think |
22 |
the most interesting part are the NICs and the RAID controller. |
23 |
|
24 |
* From a quick tour through google it seems that the both NICs are |
25 |
supported. What about the hardware features like VLAN and Bonding/Teaming? |
26 |
|
27 |
* The H710* RAID controllers seem to be supported (megaraid) too. Can |
28 |
someone confirm this? |
29 |
|
30 |
* What about hardware sensors? |
31 |
|
32 |
Thanks. |
