Sorry I wasn't specific enough. I don't need routing, just a single 1U switch that supports the following: I need to be able to disable VLAN1 untagged/pvid on most of the ports except for 1, and enable VLAN1 tagging on a couple of ports. The vast majority of low cost 'smart' switches and...

Ok, strange request I know... but I need to put a rack mounted 16 or 24 port gigabit managed switch into a Gator rack case like this one: http://**************/1EQaGsJ So the switch needs to be less than 19 inches deep... which wouldn't normally be the problem... Tons of managed switches are...

I've got a similar setup using XCP (basically XenServer 6)... I use the xenbackup: https://code.google.com/p/xenbackup/ This creates a xen snapshot, and then exports it to an nfs or cifs share. Which in my case is a zfs pool... This gives me portable xva files, that are self contained...

Is the H200 supported in OI? The price is right if it will work :)

As I stated in the post, I can't use these types of adapters because it is a 1U case, and only has a single pcie slot for the HBA, no place to put one of those adapters. So the HBA *must* have an external port.

Those are all 6Gb/s - PCIe 2.0 cards... aren't there any 3Gb/s cards? Or even better yet something that is rebranded with the correct chipset that can be found on ebay cheap?

Ok, I have an Intel S5000PSL based motherboard ( http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/apac/eng/products/server/boards/dp/s5000psl/feature/index.htm ) and I need to find a compatible HBA SAS card with an external SFF-8088 connector to connect to an external JBOD enclosure. I'm like...

The systems I'm looking at above, only have a single slot to use, so a external bracket really isn't an option... and they don't have pice 2.0 slots... so would I really see any performance increase by using these types of cards? Also the external SAS enclosures I have are 3Gb/s as well...

I looked the card up, very cool card for the price... but not sure it's supported in openindiana?

I thought sff-8087 was for internal wiring? And sff-8088 was used to connect to external enclosures like the one I have?

You're joking right? First, my proposed built is more than 21 drives day 1... Second performance would be a serious issue... Third, no iscsi support? No de-duplication support... Please more serious suggestions.. unraid is probably good for small setups(frankly I'd rather use freenas...

Ok, I'm looking for some input on a new NAS setup for my home office, I'll go over my current setup, space requirements, and my thoughts for a solution. Any feedback is more than welcome... First, I want to keep the cost reasonable, less than $1000 for sure before storage... Also keeping in...
