>But I'm still interested whether anyone's already running
>FreeBSD STABLE on a DL385,

>an Opteron CPU,
>~4 SCSI disks in a RAID-5 array hosted by the onboard Smart 
>Array 6i chip,
>a hot-swappable DAT72 tape drive,
>and iLO.

>Are all devices working well, are the HDDs and the tape drive

>is the iLO working as it should?

>Any issues?

>I'd really like to drive this machine with FreeBSD,
>but I can't afford to waste more than 3 days testing functionality
>before it has to be productive.
>So I'd be really thankful for any information on this combination.
