    NAS and VM server Software Architecture

    I am a happy Solaris follower. Its a SOHO install, so I think free (unpaid) usage is allowed. From the times of OpenSolaris 2008.11, which was manageable by a Unix novice like me - vs - straight Solaris that was over and above me, I kept following the Solaris path, not be tempted to check...

    ZFS Super capacitor alternative.

    From the electrical perspective, two points to note: a) A diode should be placed before the supercap, in order to keep the SSD powered longer than the rest of the motherboard. b) Some SSDs are powered from the 5V rail, so the supercap + diode should be placed there.

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

    Gea I may have found a bug. The Post script was not executing, so I compared it's content with the Pre and found that there was a "40" missing at the end. So, I patched the exact line from the Pre script and now it gets executed. See below (first line not working, added the second and it...

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

    You are welcome. One other very secondary note: When napp-it executes the ESXi snap command, this is registred within the ESXi snapshot manager under the Name "ZFS_autosnap" bearing as Description ",job=xxxxxxxxxx" Normally, this will not be displayed after the auto snap deletion, but if...

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

    Finally, I took my first hot ESXi/ZFS snapshot. Some feedback for Gea: In the "Jobs > snap > Hot ESXi snaps" menu I see all and every snapshot (the same content with the top "Snapshots" menu). It would be nice to have a way of discriminating between ordinary and hot ESXi snapshots. What I tried...

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

    EDIT: I found my error Gea. Copy-paste problem (first character from ssh-rsa .... missing). Silly me. I leave the following as it may serve as an example of what you will face with if you don't copy correctly the public key. 1) Instruction: "open file id_dsa.pub and copy the key (ssh-dss...

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

    1. Reasonable argument 2. Will see if I can sync it with Time Slider 3. I take backups every Saturday, so no need for anything exotic here. I have a second ESXi (free) server and use is as "poor man's" vMotion (manually). I will experiment on this with a single VM. Thanks and Good Night

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

    How come this? When ESXi takes a snap, doesn't it create another file? Solaris "Time Slider" has built in this option "Replicate backups to an external drive". I think napp-it does it too, but I use the Time Slider. Yes, I already thought about assigning one file system per VM. Thanks for...

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

    Now that I have read the instructions I have a policy query and need your recommendation: I have a limited SSD mirror pool for the VM files and an amply sized HDD raidz2 for general storage. When the ZFS snap gets created it will include all VMs regardless of pre-selection or not. The...

    Ok, I got it now. I was looking for a "SSH keys and menu Jobs" entry. Thanks, I will try it.

    How? Pls give detailed instructions, as I did everything I think reasonable towards this direction.

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

    Is there a "Pro" requirement to run Gea? I upgraded my "Free" version to: "running version : 0.9f4_dev Jan.09.2015", yet the tree is: "Services >> SSH >> SSH keys" -period- no "and menu Jobs" Did "download 0.9unstable& activate 0.9unstable" but obviously, some other version.

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

    Thanks levak, For the time I swapped the two SSD in order to see if the excessive transport errors follow the SSD, or are controller bound. I may also try having both SSDs on the same controller, although I prefer the added redundancy of the two, but unfortunately of different speed. In lack of...

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

    In an SSD mirror pool, under "IOstat mess", napp-it reports: S:0 H:2 T:9 for the first one and S:0 H:47 T:448 for the second one Detail: They are connected to two different controllers. First one is SATA2, second one is SATA3 My query is regarding the significance of S, H and T and what...

    zpool replace question

    Unintentionaly, I had two disks replacing an existing pair, part of a Z2 pool (within the redundancy margin, so it's not what the OP asked for, but anyway) The first replace was intentional, for the purpose of increasing capacity. During the resilvering phase, another disk was degraded (some 30...
