Investigating use on HP Proliant DL380 R04

[Algirdas]

I hope that you allready instaled open-e on HP 380.
But, if you are still considering this opportunity I want to issue one warning.
Some time ago I played with HP servers:
ML 110 G2, ML150 G2 and ML350G4p.
There I was surprised:
ML 110 G2 worked ok.
ML 150 G2 worked with random crashes - I think this can be fixed.
ML 350 G4p It was impossible to install open-e iscsi target on this machine.
It has BIOS which reports any IDE cntroller as SECONDARY.
HP support refused t fix that. According my knowledge this is not fixed even today.
I just want to warn you about such situation.

Algirdas,

This is very good information and I want to thank you for your time on this. This helps others and us. It is very expensive to test every system manufactured, unless we started to charge very high prices for our products.

From all of the Open-E engineers we thank you!!
