HP DL servers

[Gavin Spomer]

We also have DL380's and I can't remember what generation my FreeBSD test server is, but it too has the Broadcoms in it which work fine with FreeBSD 7.0. Ours is recognized as bce however.

HP servers usually have NICs with broadcom or intel chipsets which are 
recognized
as bge and em under freebsd and work great.

We have the following configurations and they work fine:

- freebsd 6.3 on dl320G5 with on-board broadcom network chipset and SATA 
HDDs. We had
  problems with hardware RAID and used geom to impl. RAID functionality.

- freebsd 6.3 on dl380G5 with SAS HDDs. Hardware RAID controller is 
recognized by 6.3
  and works.
