KS2007: Hardware support and the i386/x86_64 mergerKS2007: Hardware support and the i386/x86_64 mergerPosted Sep 6, 2007 21:00 UTC (Thu) by AJWM (guest, #15888)In reply to: KS2007: Hardware support and the i386/x86_64 merger by ckelso Parent article: KS2007: Hardware support and the i386/x86_64 merger
Yep, I've seen that in a couple of cases -- even in cases where it wasn't proven that the hardware/driver was the problem, just suspected. Rip out all the cards and replace them with something we know works (or the 3rd party application vendor supports, whatever).
Replacing a half-dozen fibre cards (HBAs) is cheap compared to what you're paying your SAN vendor, and if he says that card X isn't supported (by him) under the OS upgrade you want to do (or your DB vendor insists on) but card Y is, guess what's going to happen.
(And in this particular case the drivers for both X and Y cards were GPL, so that wasn't even a factor.)
