I'd like to know if anyone has experience with the Dell PowerEdge 1855 blade servers running on either FreeBSD_4 or FreeBSD_5.
I'm looking to deploy several servers and I know that the 1850's will run just fine. I have concerns over the PERC4/im and the ethernet controllers on the 1855's. I assume since the 1855's have Intel Gig-E controllers they use the em driver, which I've had good luck with in the past. Apparently the 1855's integrated RAID uses the LSI (mpt) driver. I've heard mixed results on this with earlier versions of 4.x and 5.x, but nothing in the latest releases, 4.10+ and 5.3. Can anyone share their experiences with performance and stability on these machines?
