I can sort of confirm this. I was able to successfully install 6.7 on a nested VM running on X5675s. Once I upgrade vCenter I'll give it a shot on a physical host.

While it looks like the price on them has gone up, but I have 32xST91000640NS, of the Dell WF12F that have been spinning in my lab since July and I am very happy with them. I paid $45 each for them. Unfortunately for you in addition to the price increase since I bought them, they are also...

I'm running x5675s, so unfortunately I can't help.

Interesting. Unfortunately, I gifted the X2s to a friend so I can't do deeper testing to make sure it wasn't something environmental

I perf tests in a centos 6 vm would usually top out at 5-6 gbps on the X2. With the Cn1000e, I usually get 8-9

I have 8 of these in ESX hosts. They work just fine, and provide more throughput than I ever got out of a set of ConnectX-2 cards. No idea on the power consumption, but probably horrendous.

Over the last two months, I've picked up a pair of c6100s. I bought one from Mr. Rackables, and the other from pdneiman. The first I bought from pdneiman in early april, and got it up and running without any issue. The second c6100 is also great. What I have noticed is that the model...

Thanks - I'll take a look

All - I am looking for some advice on some decent 2.5' drives to use in a NAS. I have 2 c6100s that I'm going to be leveraging with Nutanix CE and/or vSAN. Initially I gave a set of Seagate Firecudas a try, and had some very sour experiences with the drives going to sleep and requiring a...

Did you ever give this a try?

I have a bunch of stuff that I am pulling from my lab. If you happen to have a 24 bay c6100, I'd be interested in working out some sort of a trade, otherwise prices are listed. Servers 2x Supermicro 6026t-NTR+ Supermicro X8DTN+ Motherboard 2xE5620 CPU 2x2 GB PC3-8500R DIMMs 8x HDD Trays 2x 2.5...

I was able to flash the xx2x2 to IT mode using the current firmware from Avago/broadcom's site and wit worked fine.

I'm exploring the feasibility and cost of picking up 2 6100 LFF systems. I really only want/need two nodes per chassis but more as spares would be okay. Having a few xx2x2 mezz cards would be nice bonus, but otherwise no ram needed, not picky on cpus, will most likely will swap them out.

Did you ever get them working?

Did you ever figure anything out on this? I have a c6100 arriving next week, and want to avoid using one of the hot swap bays for a boot device.
