Found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/hp that G6 is only supported with new server version 9.10.
We having an DL360 G5 that is still running 8.04 LTS. For some weird circumstances this machine needs to get exchanged by a new DL380 G6. Another option would be to buy instead of a G6 server an old DL380 G5.
The problem is that there is a very tight timeframe to do the right steps. What would you suggest? Distupgrade or buying a G5 machine with SmartArray controller that can run old config immediately?

Update: I actually ordered inbetween a Proliant DL380 G6. We will set up a new machine. Additionally I ordered a backup drive for the current mirror. Will respawn the mirror to get a quick live setup.
Does anyone know if it is possible to mount this single backup RAID0+1 set drive on a SmartArray P410i controller to only getting the data down there? No mirror of course - in other words: Mounting as a broken mirror ? Is this possible. I know that the old ACU (array controller utility) for Debian only provided part of the full functions normally available under Windows stuff.
