    Rackable System 3U 16 drives chassis SAS2 upgrade

    ZFS + SGI3016 + SATA - safe to use in 2014 ? Don't mean to start a debate, but I would like to use this SGI Rackable with a bunch of SATA disks I have lying around and create a ZFS pool (using illumos). I've read quite a few forum posts that state it's a toxic combination. But most of those...

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

    Thanks Matej, going from another linux server works fine and I get ~ 112 MBps. Thanks for the suggestion. Going to configure the box as an AIO and see how that pans out. Groove

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

    I apologize if this has been asked before, but I've tried to scan quite a few possible avenues before I posting my question here. I've recently setup a new OmniOS based NAS using an IBM M1115 (flashed to IT mode) with 3 x 2 TB drives. The server has 40 GB ECC RDIMM memory with 2 x Xeon 5520...

    Flashing IBM m1015 to LSI 9240-8i issues

    I too had all kinds of issues flashing other (older) LSI / LSI based controllers on the X9SCM. I tried to flash both a Dell SAS 6 iR and an LSI 3442 on the X9SCM and it did not work. Both the cards flashed just fine on an Asus Z8NA-D6C that I have. But it's a real royal PIA to open up my...

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

    Rectal Prolapse You were dot on the money. :D. It was the FMD configuration that fixed it. I set the 'interval' property to 24 hours in the 'disk-transport.conf' file and sure enough, the disks now spin down based on the device threshold set in power.conf. This is great. My server idles at ~...

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

    Hello, Would anyone know if it's possible to spin down disk in Solaris Express 11 with COMSTAR iSCSI active ? My home server is a Supermicro X9SCM with 6 1 TB drives connected to the motherboards SATA ports. The server runs SE11 native (no VMWare). I've enabled devicethreshold settings in...

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

    Q: Is it possible to configure storage disks to spin down with COMSTAR services enabled ? I have a Solaris Express 11 server running as my home file server / SAN. The issue that I'm running into is that when I have COMSTAR enabled, the disks seem to spin down after the specified interval...

    Raid-Controller or HBA Card with Intel S1200KP M-ITX Mainboard

    Well, I'm also interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with a hba controller working on this motherboard. I like the M-ITX form factor for a NAS build that I'm considering. It'll be great if someone has any experience with a similar configuration and send us the details.

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

    Just posting some additional steps... I've tried 'resettting' the disk by going into fdisk and deleting the partition all together. Then created a new partition using fdisk -B /dev/rdsk/c11t0d0s0. Tried prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0s0 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c11t0d0s0 This gave me the...

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

    I have a server that has 2 mirrored drives that make up the rpool. The problem is that they hang off a Dell PERC 5/i controller. I recently bought a Dell SAS 6 iR controller and would like to move the devices to the new controller. Initially I thought I'd take one of the devices offline...

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

    Re-installing fixed it. Thanks gea. I did use wget to install it the first time. So not sure what happened. But all set now. Thanks

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

    Napp-it. I just re-installed napp-it on a new boot (rpool) disk I install on my server. When I try to access the web interface using http://<IP-Address:81, I get the following message : The box is running Solaris 11 Express Edition. Can someone please let me know what's wrong and how to fix...

    X9SCM / LSI 3442 blues

    Well, in my case the options to control the OPROM do not show up. I'll try different cards and check. But from what I can tell, it does not show up when I plug in the LSI 3442 controller.

    X9SCM / LSI 3442 blues

    I've tried plugging in other cards as well. In fact I plugged in a Dell PERC 5i and the motherboard detected the card just fine. I did plug in a Intel CT adapter and that worked and was detected as well. And my card is flashed in IT mode. That is how I want it. No on board RAID required. As...
