Re: P520



No, the machine was barely functional. I was booting it off SAN storage and the lack of a good driver for the card made it almost impossible to even navigate file systems. I haven't had a chance to try booting the system off of internal storage and using the SAN for just data file systems. Still in the process of testing RHEL on ppc for production systems. I'll give it a shot if I have some free time this week and let you know.

I have had some issues with buggy QLogic HBA drivers, but other than
that, Red Hat 4 runs just fine on P5 series hardware.
