Debian and Centos not officialy supported by server
Hi all, I installed FS on a HP DL-120 Gen9 server using Debian but reading server specifications I found that Debian and Centos are not officially supported for that server (and I realized that many others does not support too). Anyway I have everything installed and running except for RAID controller because there’s no drivers for that. So, trying to avoid unexpected behaviors on production I would like to know if any of you have some experience on using hardware that does not officialy support Debian/Centos? Thanks in advance.
I've run both CentOS and Debian on Dell PowerEdge servers for nearly 10 years now, with virtually no issues related to the hardware/software interface, and neither of those are officially supported by Dell. However, Dell does officially support many varieties of Linux, including RHEL (of which CentOS is basically a clone), and after some research I felt comfortable enough with the unofficial support for the operating systems I wanted to use. No idea if that translates to the HP world, though... On Mon, Nov 5, 2018 at 8:01 AM Federico Castro <fcastelco@gmail.com> wrote:

CentOS is equal to RHEL dist. I sure HP is supports RHEL. Sergey пн, 5 нояб. 2018 г. в 20:30, Chad Phillips <chad@apartmentlines.com>:

Hi guys, well CentOS is not RHEL at least is not supported by RedHat/IBM directly. For Debian you are on your own for sure. The problem comes when you have a problem and basically the first thing which you hear when call hotline in case of HW-issue, this os is not supported. But I think you still can build FreeSWITCH rpm in Oracle/RHEL/SuSE Linux. BR, Volodymyr On Mon, Nov 5, 2018 at 11:08 PM Sergey Safarov <s.safarov@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks to all for sharing your experiences and tips. I agree, I think the problem could be if you need some kind of assistance from the vendor. Thanks again. El mar., 6 nov. 2018 a las 14:37, Volodymyr Fedorov (<lexxua@gmail.com>) escribió:

If I remember correctly, the raid controller in the DL120 is a 'fakeraid' one (software raid where the configuration is held in system settings). You may have better luck disabling the controller and settings the SATA ports in AHCI mode and use Linux software raid. If you still have issues, try disabling UEFI boot (change boot mode to Legacy BIOS) as this solves a number of other issues on Gen9/Gen10 with Linux. As always, get hold of the latest firmware updates too, the most recently ProLiant service pack is from September 2018.
