    ZFS pool version dilemma with napp-it upgrade, data lost?

    4TB-recovery still under way, but the other affected datasets recovered successfully. Funny, that I had a month-old snapshot on the apparently-lost-dataset before I created the zfs-v6 dataset and moving everything to the new set of drives. So, in worst case I would not have lost that much...

    ZFS pool version dilemma with napp-it upgrade, data lost?

    luckylinux, that is almost correct: 1) I can perfectly fine access my upgraded v5000 pools under OmniOS, but I cannot read the zfs v6 datasets. 2) I cannot mount the pools under Oracle Solaris 11.1 at all. BUT: Based on your post, I tried following. Note: Everythings runs under ESXi, so...

    ZFS pool version dilemma with napp-it upgrade, data lost?

    apnar, you nailed it. Thats exactly what happened. I have limited knowledge about the datails, but this are the options I can put together: Option A: Wait till OmniOS can read zfs v6. Probably not going to happen, since not open source :-( Thank you, Oracle. Option B: Wait, till Oracle...

    ZFS pool version dilemma with napp-it upgrade, data lost?

    Hi, I have a weird problem with my pools and data seems to be unaccessible. Let's describe it step by step: My old zpool version was v28, with zfs version 5. I created that "ages" ago and run it on Solaris 11 for about a year - no upgrade was done so far. What I have done, was creating a...

    Korean 2560x1440 or DELL 24/27inch ?

    Thank you so much for your answers, guys. I really hoped that the iMac glossiness would work for me, but even after one week I still have problems during daytime (and especially reading hardforum on a black background). So, I guess I wait a little bit to get a Dell with coupons. Right now the...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    I'm a little bit confused after going through this thread. I have a X9SCM-F and a M1015 (flashed to IT mode) in my ESXi server. I will add more hard disk drives soon and my option is to buy another (or maybe two) M1015, or go with the HP SAS expander. Would this work and does it make sense to...

    Korean 2560x1440 or DELL 24/27inch ?

    Hi, I'm about to order a new display and can't decide which one. I was working on a 26inch 1920x1200 TN panel for the last 3 years. The resolution is good and aspect ratio great, but I would prefer just 24inch for that resolution. Besides the 26inch display I have two 20inch portrait, but...

    Are there ANY PCIe SATA Controllers that work in ESXi5.1?

    I've read here that a PCIe card bases on an Asmedia 1061 Chipset would work. I can't confirm it myself, but I ordered one and the plan is to pass the internal SATA ports of my motherboard trough. Besides that, I also have two M1015s. As soon I can test this, I will reply here again. My Asmedia...

    Supermicro X9SCM-F and VMWare thread info

    Thanks, I have the exact same processor here and still waiting for my x9scm-f. I figured out that most IPMI function will work (boot,shutdown), but not KVM. Thats fine with me. I don't expect to need that function a lot. I planned to use a low power (15w idle) client with a ITX-H61 board and an...

    Supermicro X9SCM-F and VMWare thread info

    Jerky_san, this sounds really interesting. So, you're able to play games ON your ESXi All-in-One by passing your 6870 GPU through? Can you give us more details? What USB Keyboard/Mouse/Soundcard are you using? Do you have a Sandy Brige or Ivy Bridge (v2) CPU installed? What do you mean by KVM...

    newbie ESXi AiO built - help me understand

    deamnid, thank you for your answers - that was what I was looking to hear. A) I had the idea by booting ESXi off a usb stick, but I need also space for OpenIndiana/ZFS/napp-it. There are a lot of advantages having ESXi on USB (updates, test of new versions), but I guess I still need one more...

    newbie ESXi AiO built - help me understand

    I've read a lot in the past two weeks and finally decided to build my own ESXi All-in-One server with OpenIndiana/ZFS. There are still some things, that I don't quite understand. A) I already gathered two M1015s which will be flashed to IT mode. I haven't decided on the Motherboard, but it...

    growing zfs pool from 4x2TB raidz1 to ?x3TB raidz?

    I came up with a third option for 6 drives, a mirror striped over 3 sets. Usable space goes down again of course, but I see some advantages, too: A. I can start with a simple 2 disk mirror: mypool mirror disk1 disk2 B. When used spaces reaches 70% i add another one: mypool mirror disk1 disk2...

    growing zfs pool from 4x2TB raidz1 to ?x3TB raidz?

    This means I could either use 5x3TB for raidz (more space) or 6x3TB raidz2 (more security). Actually, the usable net space would be 12TB for both setups. I guess the price of just one drive for additional security is very reasonable.
