From: Adrián Ribao Martínez on 7 Jun 2010 07:50 Hello, We are about to buy a Fujitsu server: * Fujitsu Primergy RX300 and I'd like to know if someone has experience with it. I'm afraid that The server is not supported by debian. They don't list debian in the supported OS and there are no drivers for this server. Thank you for your help, Adrian

From: Adrián Ribao Martínez on 7 Jun 2010 08:20 Thank you very much Javier, We don't need virtualization in the server, I suppose it's the same and everything works ok. Do you have a RAID controller in the system?

According to this: https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/docs/ds_prim-rx300_s4.pdf Fujitsu uses the LSI MegaRAID series controllers, all of which are supported by the standard Linux kernel either by megaraid.c or megaraid_sas.c. The Broadcom BCM5708 GigE chip is supported by the standard Linux kernel. IPMI, I2C, etc are supported by Linux, and Debian. Some of these will probably require manual setup/configuration--it won't be done automatically during Debian install. If _you_ know Debian, and Linux in general, you shouldn't have a problem running it on this server. It appears all the subsystem components are industry standard fare supported by Linux. Again, you may have to install/configure some of the user space tools manually. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
