    Bummer, but the new card will allow me to migrate off the cursed WD Green drives. That alone is worth the price of entry. Thanks for replying!

    This is very interesting news for me. I have the older LSI 1068 based SAS3081E-R flashed to "older" IT firmware and my new 7K4000 4TB disk shows 2.2TB. Can you tell me what phase your Firmware is from ? Perhaps even links ? Thanks in advance.

    Tested many things. Re-tested on a clean new install ESXi 4.1 + OI 148 + Napp-It 0.500s : bonnie++ works in cli, not UI Installed ESXi 5.0, which seems to be very happy on my dual socket boards with 48GB of RAM, letting me create 40GB VMs without issues. If I had more then 64GB of...

    I'm curious, how does one figure out what disk is connected to which controller in Solaris 10 ? I have on-board LSI 2008 and an add-on LSI 2008, which makes 16 drives. Now I want to build some pairings... and so to make some informed choices, I'm trying to find a way to map all...

    I'd like to know if the Intel SSD 320 with it's reasonable capacitors is considered good enough under the circumstances. It is not the fastest SSD, but given how it is an evolution of the X-25M and is entirely built on a process shrink Intel technology, it bodes well. Anyone use them yet in...

    Combining ESXi server and ZFS server into one

    The signature is where the information resides: Patriot Convoy XL is a 2x2.5 SATA device using a Silicon Image 57xx chipset to deliver RAID0/1 or some odd combinations thereof. I run it RAID1.

    Combining ESXi server and ZFS server into one

    No worries. I was hoping I was wrong. I could not find L3426 anywhere, even when they showed stock, it was the same supplier behind it all and they have none. Then I tried to order an X3440 and had 0 luck as well. So I'm running an X3430 and will learn to "live with compromise" or...

    Combining ESXi server and ZFS server into one

    Funny, my i3-530 did not support VT-d on my X8SIL-F. But you could be right.

    Combining ESXi server and ZFS server into one

    You'll need a Xeon CPU to have VT-d working. I wonder if you have read Gea's "All-in-One" design doc ? http://napp-it.org/napp-it/all-in-one/index_en.html

    This is very interesting idea I wasn't aware was available in ESXi 4.1 Can you tell me what terms to search on to get more information ? Thin Provisioning for 4.1 only gets me the information I already know. Thanks in advance for any pointers.
