what ever happened to this?

Not taking sides but paragraphs, please!

freaking love that custom chassis setup

there's something rather nice about seeing SATA cables like that

Hi Gea, I didn't run a specific command, I used the OI version of Task manager (forget what it's called- system something or something). it quite clearly shows that only 360mb-ish of ram is used but Napp-it is showing almost complete memory useage - i will try the other commands tonight to...

I'm not sure where I should post this to be honest but I've loaded up a fresh copy of OI with GUI and then installed Napp-it which is all ok and works as expected, if i open the task manager to view ram / cpu and network usage and then run the internal benchmarks through the napp-it interface...

I just wanted a GUI

Tonight i'm changing from solaris 11 to OI .... worry!!

JensS That is how I saw the racks I did at work but in reality, they came out nothing at all like that! nice work indeed

my own personal experience with the RED drives is that they didn't like being in ZFS but i'm not sure if i had a bad batch (6) in general

Unless you're using a mega cheap power supply, I wouldn't worry about it

No.

really tempted to get a core 1000 for an upcoming build since they're so cheap atm

_Gea, I might have imagined it but are you stopping development on the Solaris platform in favor of OI or nexanta?

I kinda like the two-tone brown fans

yep it's possible

Your not the only person to get baffling r5 speeds with WD Red's. I bought 6 for use with an intel card (can't remember the model) but I get about 14Mb/s write and 70Mb/s read but a mirror is fine at over 100MB/s for read and write

nice carpet

Netgear ProSafe Plus XS708E, 8-Port http://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/prosafe-plus-switches/XS708E.aspx#two 8 * 10gbe over copper - cheap too

Will it work with ZFS is the question :D

^ Dat setup

That's quite impressive. I would defiantly like to see the PCB for the hard drive trays though.

unscrew the top and smash the hdd platters with a hammer - cant recover shattered platters

I'm not convinced by them backblaze things at all

oh thanks for that piglover :)

so i've upgraded to the latest solaris 11.1 with napp-it v. 0.9a5 nightly Jan.22.2013 and i'm trying to run a benchmark but for some reason the bonnie one will not run, i have disabled the monitoring at the top as is required but when i click start the screen refreshes and nothing happens? any...

looks very interesting

lots of fiber goodness :D in the last picture, under the first switch, what's that thing with the blue face that only takes up half the width of a U?

so was the box they came in damaged? i.e the shipping box

forgive me but does WHS actually use h/w raid? I thought it just pooled the drives?

maybe they took that out in a later revision

yeah, no worries - pm away :D

thanks _gea - helpful as always!! i think i'm going to get solaris 11.1 instead of using solaris express if there will be no issues

So i've managed to login using an older version of napp-it that was listed in the boot menu but when i try to run the wget, I now get; "solaris express 11 is supported upto napp-it 0.8 - use napp-it 0.8!! or update to Solaris 11.1" since i get get into the GUI using an older version of...

oh, thanks for that _gea, for some reason I thought I might need to run something different to the default install method :D

do you have the command to run? obviosuly its wget from the command prompt but since i cant get into the gui i cant see the full name

yeah, same thing unfortunatly. if i look at the boot on the actual machine it says something about the same service running twice. I do have a pre-0.6 option listed in the boot menu so ill try that

just tried updating to 0.9 and got the following error and now cannot login any ideas?
