They are ready for production use if you are running under PowerKVM. We have specifically tested on the Tyan system. I don't know specifically about that Power7 system, but I have run on other POWER7 without problems and would expect the same here. PowerVM should also work if you use VIOS for storage, but has received much less tasting. -Nathan On 02/28/16 09:22, Tinker wrote: > Hi! > > What is the status of IBM POWER8 and POWER7 support in FreeBSD now, > are they ready for production use? > > POWER8 would be Tyan BP012 > http://www.tyan.com/solutions/tyan_openpower_system.html . > > POWER7 would be IBM "P730" Power7 730 Express. > > Thanks, > Tinker > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
