Has anyone had any trouble or any experience using OpenBSD with SuperMicro Blades? We are looking at moving to a blade environment using the Super Micro SBI-7125-T1 blades (Dual Xeons). I dont want to outlay a bunch of cash on hardware that is not going to run OpenBSD.
I could not find direct support under hardware for the chipsets listed. For those nice enough :) to take a look - Super Micros website specs for this blade. http://www.supermicro.com/products/SuperBlade/module/SBI-7125B-T1.cfm Chipset information On-Board Devices Chipset Intel. 5000P (Blackford) chipset MCH + PXH + ESB2 SATA ESB2 SATA Controller RAID 0, 1 support IPMI Support for Intelligent Platform Management Interface v.2.0 via Chassis Management Module (CMM) Network Controllers Intel.
