Dells run freebsd just fine. I've managed probably 25 years of rackmount Dell by preference. Not that I don't hate iDrac and how they wantonly reprogram the SAS hba.
- r4nd_f 2y ago> iDrac and how they wantonly reprogram the SAS hba. Wait, you've had the SAS HBA be reprogrammed by the iDrac? Does it happen just randomly? I've mainly got experience with the PERC controllers, not much with the standard HBAs
- ggm 2y agoNo, bad grammar on my part. I hate both the old idrac and it's shitty Java, and outdated pki certs, and, I hate dell's random reprogramming of the hba logic to suit their own model. They take the perc which is simply an lsi card, and do their own firmware which removes things like simple hba.
