I had the same questions a couple of months ago and I picked the 520 because of the extended warranty....and also because I tend to like Intel when it comes to hardware

I use the same on my Adaptec 5805 without problems. They are even on adaptecs compatible list.

Have anyone tried to use OpenIndiana in Hyper-V? I am also thinking about using Hyper-V and installing both SBS2011 and CentOS for backup and storage (Not ZFS but mdadm instead - I know the difference between them). I would, however, prefer to use Openindiana instead but if I cannot find a...

Hi Guys, I have got a Win SBS 2011 license which I would like to use as a backup-server through the use of the dashboard etc. The current server is running ESXi with OpenIndiana. I tried to install SBS2011 on the ESXi server but were having problems with getting it to work correctly - and later...

That sounds great Gea. We are many who really appreciate your work :)

Okay, maybe I got it to work now. I tried to do a new "wget -O - www.napp-it.org/nappit | perl" after i restarted the VM after the first time I installed it, and this seems to fix the problem (at least on Workstation). I guess I'll format my server now and install ESXi again and see if this helps.

Hmm, that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'll better write the exact steps i do: 1) Install OpenIndiana 151a, directly downloaded from their homepage. Followed the installationsguide, which doesn't give any problems 2) Then installed I install vmware-tools 3) Then I install napp-it (by "su"...

Well, that actually sounds like I could be the problem - I'll check it right away. I uses the boot option called OpenIndiana v.6 which is the latest version I can see when napp-it has installed the last program.

Hi, A week ago i bought a new server and installed ESXi 5 on it right away. Afterwards I installed Openindiana 151a as I have done about 5 times now on a different server, but something isn't right. I manage to install OpenIndiana and Napp-it just fine. The problem is that when I restart the...

Well, I think I'm going to make an ESXI server with two VMs - A Windows SBS Essentials server and an OpenIndiana server. I am then going to use the ZFS-folder from OI by using iSCSI to the SBS server. Guess this shouldn't give any problems. One more thing, how do I setup esxi with regards of...

So this means I have to use iSCSI in order for this to work? I have read somewhere that iSCSI is not recommended by Microsoft so do anyone have any experience with this. Is it working ok and is it reliable?

I have tried that, but when I try to use it in the dash-board, I says I cannot use it :(

I have now installed WHS2011 in vmware player for testing purposes and I cannot seem to import a network share. Does someone know if you are able to store the backups created by WHS2011 on a network share? (which is going to be a ZFS-share)

And I assume it isn't a problem for WHS to use the built-in backup function with smb instead of letting it manage the drives itself? (if you get what i mean)

Well, that would be one way to do it. I don't know whether or not this is a good way to do it. As I see it, my choices are: 1: SMB share 2: iSCSI? 3: Read somewhere that esxi are able to share a virtual share to another or something like that?? How would you guys do it?
