And the RHEL update release 6.3 isn't even supported. http://advisors.dell.com/AgileWeb/iDrivematrixView.aspx https://linux.dell.com/files/supportmatrix/RHEL_Support_Matrix.pdf Alexander

I did not have any major issues on the 710, 720, or 810 servers though. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

ThanksI don't have any R815's, but I have run CentOS 6.3 on a variety of other Dell hardware (PE2900, R410, R710, etc) with no issues at all. Steve
I've had two 64 core R815's for two months and have had no problems with them running CentOS 6.3. Just remember that these are bulldozer's and that for each processor of "16" cores, there are 16 integer cores and 8 shared floating point cores. I would love to get my hands on the sandy bridge r620s with idrac7. Ryan Thank you for the feedback. I also have 6.3 running smoothly on a 2850> (up till now). I don't expect any major issues with R815's but just > checking in case somebody found otherwise. > > -Surya > > -- > Surya Saha > Department of Plant Pathology > and Plant-Microbe Biology > Cornell University, NY, USA > http://www.linkedin.com/in/suryasaha
