I'd prefer to run Supermicro but might have some problems convincing<br>
those with the purse strings. Is anyone running, or can anyone recommend,<br>
a Supermicro server roughly equivalent to the Del R730xd, or give me an<br>
idea of what chipsets/HBAs etc. to choose or avoid for OmniOS?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I've been quite happy with the 6028U-TR4+. It was the first 2U Ultra server Supermicro was shipping. Any of the 2U Ultra's would be a good choice. What I like about these in particular is lots of PCIe slots for HBAs and 10GB NICs. If your running RJ45 10GB they have versions with 10GB built in. <br><br>If it were available at the time I would have went with the 2028U, since it has all 2 1/2 drives. The only drives I've put in the SATA side has been SSDs for boot and L2ARC. With an internal HBA you could load it up with 24 drives. I think with the on board SATA you are limited to 10 drives.<br><br></div><div>-Chip<br></div><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Any help appreciated,<br>
