HI:
I would like to set up a Hyper-V system on a PE2950 (series II); has anyone tested Hyper-V on this server?
Also, this PE2950 has TOE; will TOE work under Hyper-V, or should it be disabled?
Finally, the PE2950 only has direct-attached SAS drives at this time. Most of the reviews I have seen discribe using a SAN when setting up virtualization. However, I have found nothing saying I cannot use direct-atached SAS drives. Is there any reason to expect problems giong with direct-attached stoarge at this point? Can I add access to a SAN later?
Thanks,
Mike

I believe that TOE will work as I was able to get the iSCSI offload to work on the broadcom NICs in the R805. The only thing I have seen specific to people having problems was with NIC Teaming and Hyper-V. I haven't had a chance to try it out - so I would be very interested to find out if it works for you. Even more interesting would be if there is a noticeable difference in performance.
