    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    A couple quick things _Gea; -- For whatever reason the latest OmniOS would not work for us. We would continue to get an APD issue with our NFS shares. We had to go with OmniOS v11 r151010 and everything worked perfectly -- On the home > System > Network IB > ipib section the IP addresses...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    I'm using 5,5U3, did a pkg update, and this server is a standalone Napp-It server.

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    I've rebooted both of my ESX servers and this is still happening over NFS. iSCSI is working just fine. I am thinking of re-installing with an older OmniOS version tomorrow to see if that clears it up. We've been running 3 OmniOS/Napp-It installations and we only have a problem with an ESX...

    I believe 5.5U2 fixes most of the APD issues. We are running into this with 5.1 on one of our servers with short APD issues but our 5.5U2 server has 0 APD messages in the logs.

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Hey _gea we are following your SSD build and I am wondering if you have to do additional over provisioning on the Sandisk Extreme Pros or if they are already good to go out of the box. Also, is there still an issue with over 128GB of RAM or is that still a soft limitation we should follow?

    New log and cache SSD for ZFS

    I put in a new backup ZFS Napp-It server and I am looking for suggestions on current SSDs for the logs and cache. Our original Napp-It server is using Intel 330's for mirrored logs and and Intel 520 for cache, but those are now older drives. It seems that some small 840 Pro/EVO or Crucial...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Interestingly enough the system and the UI are different. I can upload some screenshots if it would make a difference. It's nothing major, but it could cause someone to run lower on space if they encounter the same thing.

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Hey _Gea, I deleted some snaps yesterday because I am doing a lot of moving of VMs and they were taking up a ton of space. In the GUI they do not display, but if I do 'zfs list -r -t snapshot' I see the 3 snaps I deleted. A) is it safe to just delete these from a shell? B) any reason why...

    SAT2-MV8 hot swappale in OI/OmniOS?

    Just to follow up to my own question here: OI/OmniOS works with the SAT2-MV8, but it does not initialize the disks automatically. I had to SSH in and issue a "cfgadm -a sata" to see the uninitialized drives (listed as connected and unconfigured) and then configure them with a "cfgadm -c...

    SAT2-MV8 hot swappale in OI/OmniOS?

    I picked up one of the TAM Solutions 24 bay Supermicro servers off of Ebay to hold some cheap backup storage since going to tape was killing us time wise. The one thing I am running into in either OI or OmniOS (using Napp-It) is that the controllers aren't acting like they are hot swap capable...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    _Gea, is it safe (i.e. no reboot and no known issues) going from 0.9a5 nightly to 0.9d2 nightly? Since this is our production AIO server I am scared silly to change any configurations and especially do some upgrades. Can I spin up a VM of OI/Napp-It and download 0.9a5 specifically? I can use...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    I just wanted to jump in here and give some real world production feedback on Napp-It and an AIO setup. Our server has been running for 242 days now and to date we have had exactly zero errors located on our scrubs. I am running Toshiba DT01ACA200 drives (24 currently) under a mirrored ZFS...

    Hey _Gea, I have a question based on something on your tuning page. It says to use as many vdevs as possible and as many disks as possible but then it says avoid large vdevs. (Just a little confusing). In my production server (which has been awesome BTW) I am running mirrored vdevs so is...

    ESX5 - Finding HBA cards in use

    That was close, but didn't get me the PCI info I needed. For those interested this will help to get the right info: esxcfg-info Look for the VmKernel Device Name and you will get the Parent Device and Dependant Device along with a passthrough capable flag. It's a lot of output but you...

    ESX5 - Finding HBA cards in use

    I just finished my SuperMicro build with 3 M1015 cards in the server. 1 card serves up the boot drives with my Napp-It and vCenter VMs only. Another card is in passthrough to my Napp-It VM and I have the third card doing nothing. What I need to figure out is which device ID is the M1015 NOT...
