Dell VRTX w/M630 blades & Proxmox
Hi,
we still have a couple of M630 blades from an earlier virtualization, which I thought about using for a test infrastructure for a potential/probable future Proxmox migration (still have ~2 years of VMware service contract left, but with the expected price increase, no way in h*ll we'll pay for that).
Anyway, seeing that e.g. VMWare doesn't support the VRTX platform beyond 7.03 (due to Dell not providing SPERC drivers for ESXi8), I was wondering if anybody has information on whether current Proxmox/Linux supports that integrated SPERC controller? I only found some older posts where it sounded like it was supported, though I couldn't find anything more current than 3-5 years ago ...
Edit: we do not have the vrtx chassis, just the original E1000 with external EMC storage, which are "too big" for just a test environment... I was thinking about either swapping our old parts for it or buying a vrtx....
Edit2: According to Dell, different Linux version are officially supported: https://www.dell.com/support/home/de-de/drivers/supportedos/poweredge-vrtx e.g. RHEL, SLES & Ubuntu 12 ...
