Running FreeBSD on Cisco UCS C200 M2

[Quip]

I would like to know if somebody is running or were testing FreeBSD on Cisco UCS C200 M2 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10891/
Are there any know problems installing FreeBSD on this server with just a basic onboard HDD controler (without optional LSI card). And what about the NIC drivers?

We are planning to buy new servers and these Cisco machines seem to be a good candidate. But I can't test it before buy.

I have some C200M2 series blades and a chassis on order at the moment, if I get a chance I'll try FreeBSD out on one of them (they're to go into our vSphere cluster), but this is likely 4-6 weeks off.

I have a few B-series blades with M81KR virtual interface card. The VIC is not supported on FreeBSD.

FYI the enic driver supports the Cisco VIC (I think from 14).

enic1: <Cisco VIC Ethernet NIC> mem 0xc6b00000-0xc6b07fff,0xc6b08000-0xc6b09fff irq 37 at device 0.0 numa-domain 0 on pci11
enic1: Using 256 TX descriptors and 512 RX descriptors
enic1: Using 1 RX queues 1 TX queues
enic1: Using MSI-X interrupts with 4 vectors
enic1: Ethernet address: e8:65:49:1f:3b:74
enic1: netmap queues/slots: TX 1/256, RX 1/512

I think it has a bug with MTU and FIBs; submitted as

282095 – enic breaks when changing MTU on interfaces with fib other than 0
