hi misc@, which hardware r u talking about for example? we'd like to use such "real" servers, but we can't decide what vendor to choose. we definitely do not want to "build" our own server (taking the raid controller from vendor x and the disks from vendor y, having an overkill xeon mabo from z and so on). we'd like to have on-site hw-support at least next day (being in austria this is not possible with all the big "server-sellers")
our favourite was/is HP's DLxxx series, but mickey@ is working on the ciss-port for their storage controllers and we don't know when it's stable for production use... any experience values which vendor to choose servers from? and of course, where the newer hardware is fully supported by openbsd? > Avoid relying on cheap hardware to make your cost point.
