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. |
