    Help with missing zfs pool

    That worked perfectly, thanks! I guess when I had to hard reset the VM the disks got rearranged on the next bootup.

    Help with missing zfs pool

    Hello, I'm having issues with a zfs pool that is missing a vdev. Quick rundown, I have a All-In-One ESX box running a Solaris 11 VM as a NAS and running NAPPIT. I recently updated the esx tools on the virtual machine and after rebooting had issues with the vmnex3 NIC. I read online that...

    ZFS - State Unavail/offline disk RAIDZ problem

    I'm still new to ZFS so I'm not sure about copying data but one thing you can try in a last ditch effort is to chill the drive that you think you might be able to recover data from. Wrap it up really well with a towel, stick it in a plastic bag and then throw it in the freezer for a while. The...

    ZFS and ESXi All in One Build

    Yeah. The two SASUC8I cards are configured for VMDirectPath and the onboard SAS2008 controller is left for esxi, which is installed on a USB key and the two disks on the SAS2008 controller are available as local datastores, one of which is the NAS VM. I have my two zfs pools setup so they...

    ZFS and ESXi All in One Build

    I finally decided on Solaris 11 Express with Gea's napp-it web interface. So far it's been a solid choice. The internal thruput is very close to native so my virtual machines are happy. This is also the same pool that I use to serve iSCSI from and the limitation there is definitely the...

    ZFS and ESXi All in One Build

    Yep! That last benchmark was all internal to the esxi host. Not really useful for most purposes but it's still fun. The CIFS read thing is irritating because I would expect reads to be faster than writes and it seems like some people get higher read rates while others don't. What is also...

    ZFS and ESXi All in One Build

    It took me some time but I got everything in and going. The power supply and one of the 2TB drives were DOA. I picked up a replacement power supply locally and sent the DOA one back for a refund and the 2TB drive is still out in the RMA process. So for now I've been avoiding the raidz...

    ZFS and ESXi All in One Build

    Oddly enough, I just ordered the parts for my build this past Monday and I won't get them until the 18th since I've missed the first two attempted deliveries. I did make some changes based on a bit more research as well as the feedback that I got on this thread. All said and done the cost came...

    ZFS and ESXi All in One Build

    justin2net: I agree that it sounds like I am trying to do too much with too little, however everything that I described in my original post currently runs on my Win7 desktop which is an older Q6700 machine with 8G of RAM. I figure at this rate anything is an improvement :). Originally I...

    ZFS and ESXi All in One Build

    Hey guys, I've been lurking on the forums for the past month or so while I've been researching ZFS NAS builds for home use and I was hoping I could get some feedback and advice before pulling the trigger and ordering stuff. I've done a lot of reading but I am getting to the point where I have...
