Howdy, This isn't really just specific to crowbar but we want to use crowbar to deploy a Cloudera Hadoop cluster.
The problem which we are running into is that the Dell hardware that we are targeting (the R720) does not have the ability to direct attach hard drives to the on-board SATA and as a result we are having to pay $400-$500 per node extra for a RAID controller which we don't want. Does anyone who has used crowbar in the past to build Cloudera Hadoop clusters know of a Dell server that is supported by Crowbar that has the ability to have 8x hard drives directly attached to the onboard SATA? I'm currently buying servers from the PowerEdge space but I suppose there may be something in the Cxxxx series? Thanks and sorry for list noise. -Drew
