Haven't gotten to it yet, I'm pulling apart my starter host and parting out.
I also have Openfiler, Poweredge, and Netapp gear off my DC's ewaste pile that's finally dead.
Time to prune dead branches from my starting phase.

Started ICM class last Thursday.
They're using 5.1 with 3 dedicated hosts + shelf per 2 students, so I figure sometime this week I can get off my 5.5 home lab and use theirs.

Will post when I get everything cleaned up.

I installed 2.1 last night I don't see any adverse effects and everything appears normal. If anything it seems my benchmarks on nappit are higher..

I have 3 of the x9scl-f. I use the E31230 xeons.

Same here. If I remember correctly form the supported processor list for this board only the E3 Xeons have VT-d.

That I can't swear to, but the E3 xeons (not sure all of them, btw!) support vt-d, as do x9-scl/scm. I already got bitten by the E31220 NOT having hyperthreading - don't remember if it also didn't do vt-d.
