Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone is using the HP BL460c Blades in production  
and if you have encountered any problems? We are looking at using  
them with the integrated HP Smart Array E200i controller with 2.5"  
onboard SAS drives.

Are there any problems with this controller? Is the performance good?  
I believe the only way to monitor the array is to watch kernel  
messages, is this correct?

Any information about the experience you have had with these blades  
would be much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Nikolai Schupbach
