You bring up a valid point. I do make copies of the images frequently during maintenance windows. I'm opening a second warehouse during the end of Q1 and as such I will be travelling frequently so I'm trying to prepare for a worst case scenario in the event I'm not present during a failure...

Below are the specs of my Microserver running Nexentastor 3.1.1. 8GB Kingson ECC DDR3 RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139262 Dell H200 controller flashed with Dell IT firmware 2x Kingston V100 128GB SSD mirrored OS drives attached to internal SATA controller...

I have a Dell R710 with the internal SD adapter and a USB flash drive installed. I've cloned the ESXi 4.1 image onto the USB flash drive so that I can set the boot order to load from the USB device in the event the SD fails. Naturally, ESXi detects a filesystem with a duplicate UUID in this...

I just answered my previous question. I realize the thread is asking about LSI firmware specifically, but in the event anyone is interested the Dell 6Gbps SAS HBA is allegedly the same hardware with external ports and ships with IT firmware. Below are a couple of relevant links...

Does anyone know whether the existence of a Dell IT firmware release is fact or fiction? I caught a brief mention of it on another site earlier this week but I've not been able to locate it on the Dell support site.

Without going into tremendous detail, as this is just a feeler, how many would be interested in an open source desk / monitor mount project along the lines of the picture below? The thought is to create a highly reconfigurable system using aluminum extrusions in a manner that is cost...

I'm setting up a warehouse near Dayton, OH which will require a high level of network availability as there will be no local IT staff. To that end I've decided that a router that supports load balancing of 2 WAN connections, HA, and a T1 interface would be ideal. To clarify the load balancing...

I just made the same discovery actually. The lack of LSI entries on Hitatchi's list struck me as odd.

Do you have a link regarding Nexenta performance on the N36L? If I recall correctly, I've seen other benchmarks that indicate that Nexentacore and Nexentastor do not perform quite as well as OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana. Solaris Express is out of the question for me as this is a commercial...

Thank you for the reply, you bring up several good points. I checked and the BR10i does not support 3TB drives with either IBM or LSI firmware from what I can gather. The official LSI customer support position is that they do not know if or when chipsets that do not support 3TB drives will be...

I am awaiting delivery of my Microserver from Newegg which I intend to configure as a ZFS iSCSI server for storage of product images. My focus is on write performance and my initial thought is to use 5X 3TB drives in a RAID-Z configuration although this may seem contradictory. Equipment-wise...
