Any idea if current kernels in oss.sgi.com:
kernel-2.4.18-17SGI_XFS_1.2pre3
kernel-2.4.19-SGI_XFS_1.2pre3
Are stable working with PE2450 with QLogic QLA2200, and working as NFS
server too?
Since you especially mention the QLA2200. Be very careful about kernel
upgrades. I have seen lot's of trouble on linux-poweredge with repect to
this controller. Test very carefully and have backups.
The only kernel that is a bit safe in this respect is the RH based kernel
since that one has patched drivers.
I have not been able to test any of the prereleases yet in any of the
selfcompiled versions as these hang on my PE1300 testbox.
We need to do an update to our servers. I don;t have any server to "play"
now, so I'll need to take my decision based in your feedback "boys".
You can try the RH kernel. It has the best chance to just work.
Also, I have several servers PE2550, 4200, 6300, 6400, 750N.
I don't have any production boxes yet that are running a 1.2pre release
since I can't get it to even boot on my testbox.
Cheers
