what causes it to hang? when u access OI from a windows machine via cifs? i had issues with my windows machine until I upgraded my NIC drivers from the mobo manufacturer. The default windows drivers gave me problems for some reason--and only with OI CIFS, nothing else. putting it out there just...

a discrete sound card will sound decent until you hear what a usb DAC sounds like with decent speakers (ie: Swan's)

I'm using ESXi 5... ur using esx? also my esxi is patched fully. (note: each patch is cumulative so just install the latest build #)

are you using vmxnet3 or e1000 on the openindiana VM? i dont have any issues with update3, using e1000 on the openindiana vm and vmxnet3 on the windows 2008r2 vm. havent tried the vmxnet3 on the openindiana vm though because ive heard people report issues with it and solaris

if you run disk benchmarks (like hd tune) inside a VM, use a paravirtual scsi adapter
