Hi, I've got some question off this issue... but it's about DL145 ... Did you manage to get iLO working while FreeBSD running? I'm experiencing on Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy RX220 and Sun Fire X2200 while running FreeBSD, the remote management stops responding after detecting the NICs... Thanks for any info... --- Best regards Pavol Čierny > Hi Eugene, >> Hi, All! >> >> Some time ago I got a new HP Proliant DL 145 G2 with 2 SATA disks. >> During its first boot I saw that it doesn't support hardware array, >> but there was a message on the screen 'nVivia IDE RAID' or something >> like that and the next message was about having an array of 2 disks. >> >> So I was to involve using GMIRROR with my FreeBSD 6.1 box.
