Hi, Just tried 9.1-RC3 with R720 which has H710p( the only difference with H710 is 1 gb cache instead of 512mb ). It has recognized both H710p raid as mfid0 and also network cards are recognized as bgeX (*BCM5720)* but network cards times out (watchdog timeout) I think it is about http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=31769&page=2 It seems right now only way to go with Rx20 Server models is to use Intel cards (dell provides i350 chipset network interfaces as alternative) PS: I really need your comments on R420 with H710 or R320 with H310 raid controllers Regads.
