The usefulness of the Centos 5 build will continue to decline due to new hardware coming out that does not support this OS. Our current needs are to use a Dell R630. The raid card that is included with this server has no drivers that can be used on Centos 5. This will become a more frequent problem as new hardware is released.

    Hello Mac, I am on the Emerging Tech team that works on baremetal servers and cloudboot provisioning. Would you be able to raise a ticket on the support platform that is addressed at the 'Storage team' referring to this thread and on the ticket detail the particular drivers that you are using. We have a lot of customers who use Dell Hardware and have normally been able to update drivers to keep support going. As an aside we are looking at moving to a Xen / KVM on CentOS 7 platform that will have the latest upstream drivers, but this will take some time before it reaches production. Kind regards, John

    I have an active ticket already in place. #173979

    The drivers required for the raid card are not available for Centos 5. We would have no problem updating drivers, however there are no drivers available for this OS. This is due to the chipset being used for the Raid card.
