Hi [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We are currently looking into getting two boxes for running a
redundant
firewall/load balancing (carp/pf/relayd) setup on. This would run
OpenBSD
4.4. As the rest of our servers are HP DL360/DL320 I'd like to run
this
on DL360/DL320 as well.
My question is, how well does OpenBSD work on the DL320/DL360?
We (workplace) have some weird crashes with OpenBSD 4.1 on HP
DL360G5
but
we strongly hope they don't happen ever again as we upgrade to 4.3.
We can't really isolate one component as we have 3 HP DL360 G5
machines
with quite different dmesg outputs (even on the same OpenBSD
version),
which leads me to think that there have been hardware revisions our
suppliers never mentioned.
Are these crashes on some individual machines, or on all of these
machines? Does it panic or just reboot or what happens?
Fortunately not on all, or else the company I work at would disavow
OpenBSD quite quickly (they're not particularly friendly to Free
Software, even thought Free Software components is what works closer
to
99.999%).
There's 4 equipments cmoprising of external and internal filters,
namely
PFe[12] and PFi[12].
PF[ei]1 have been crashing once in a while and they have exact same
dmesg output.
Depending on how soon I get to the machines, I either can't login (no
resource available) or it's on ddb (but only recently I learned of
boot
dump so either it no longet happens after the 4.3 upgrade or I'll have
to wait for the next time to gather more data).
Hm so the your PF[ei]1 with the same dmesg are the ones crashing? the
other ones, PF[ie]2 never crashes? How about the dmesgs on those, are
they the same too?
Would you mind sharing the dmesg's with me/the list?
