I want to make sure that if 1 rpool mirror fails the other will boot eg boot loader is on both disks. Maybe there is nothing for me to do?

How can I make sure that beadm loader writes to both my mirrors?

What is the command that napp-it uses to get that repaired list. Because fadm faulty pulls up nothing and when I try to repair what napp-it found it tells me it’s already been fixed.

What is the proper way to clear messages that IO devices have retired? Recently had to restore some VMs because of hardware failure and everything is fine but am seeing that message when Omni starts.

I’m in a bit of a jam. Upgraded my esxi and somehow in the process I lost my data store which was an NVME slog. I’m booting into OmniOS and am getting errors that an IO device has been retired. I can’t even run a zpool status as the pool is faulted and is unavailable. Any thoughts on how...

Thanks for that detailed explanation Gea. Do you know if OmniOS will support Optane Via passthrough In ESXi? I have an S3700 as my current slog and was thinking of replacing it with a P4801x. Not sure if there will be a large difference between the 100MB P4801x or a 900p. The former seems to...

Does it make sense to migrate to ZOL. It seems like this is what is being actively developed on now with Delphix moving away from Illumos. OmniOS/Nappit has been extremely stable - just works. But wondering if Linux is the way to go.

Currently downloading gcc on OmniOS via pkg install at 70k/sec (I'm on a gigabit connection). Feels like I'm downloading from some European basement over dial up 1999.

Has anyone else migrated off of OmniOS? It's becoming difficult to justify staying on it when there are other compelling options e.g. Linux or FreeBSD. I am leaning more towards BSD. Gea, how well does Napp-IT integrate with FreeBSD or Linux?

So when do we get a 32 core TR? Lol

Does anyone actually use Dolphin.

Xeon D or maybe the new silver line. Not sure about desktop processors. But both of those fit the bill. Atom was also recently updated. Check out servethehome.com. I have a Xeon D 1541 running 24/7.

32 cores!

Why the hell would I upgrade from my Ivy Xeon? :)

I can’t wait to see what pricing is on the equivalent Xeon W part. I also can’t wait for AMD to drop a TR part with 32 cores.

If you need ECC you have W Xeon. If you have W Xeon because you need stability from ECC you probably don’t overclock :)

These chips are way overpriced. I am looking forward to Xeon W. Basically 79xx with ECC.

I’d rather buy the low end of W Xeon and know that I can grab one of these guys the day I actually need it.

Do Inuograde from if you want ECC why not just get c422?

If you plan on doing any form of scientific computing you will benefit from AVX-512. Also consider Xeon W for ECC and a workstation class motherboard. I like SuperMicro for many reasons. If you don't need cores the W-2123 is going to be a great deal as you get 2xFMA in a small package.

Fuck it. I'm going Commodore 64 :)

Consider Xeon W for AVX-512.

Currently have a dual E5-2670 setup on an SM motherboard. Getting a bit of an upgrade itch. I'm debating if its worth going to thread ripper or just scooping up a pair of E5-2667 V2s or E5-2697 V2s. Dual E5-2696 seems to match on multi threaded loads, Dual E5-2667 seems to be similar on...

I'm a bit dissapointed that the i9 chips do not support ECC given that I can't seem to find a Xeon part with similar specs for a reasonable price.

Lol. Children arguing about power. What do you care unless you are running hundreds of these in a data center.

It's a shame these chips are having issues with ESXi. Hope they get that fixed soon.

OmniOS is will no longer be actively developed by OmniTI what a shame. https://lists.omniti.com/pipermail/omnios-discuss/2017-April/008699.html I'm curious what folks plan to migrate to (Anything but Oracle Solaris). Between what I read last night on FreeNAS 10/Corral and this. Not good news...

A new install via wget seems to have fixed things. I probably should have updated before updating OmniOS. Hopefully this release is as stable as the last.

1022 broke my napp-it. ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /var/web-gui/data/napp-it/CGI/auto/IO/Tty/Tty.so: symbol Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck: referenced symbol not found Thoughts on how to fix?

Gea, for LX zones. Just a thought. There should be an option to enter the zone configurations name. If I create /tank/zones/mymachine - I'd like to call the config mymachine not centos, ubuntu or debian. I also noticed that he shared folder is always created even if the Yes option is never...

No way to tell. There are good deals on some ES V4 chips now. QK3G E5-2630 V4 apparently has production stepping.

ZFS development has been pretty active on Illumos, BSD and Linux the past few years. From a stability standpoint does it even matter what platform is used to run ZFS. For example is Linux now as stable as Illumos or FreeBSD with respect to ZFS? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

The install on Linux is by no means "friendly" compared to OmniOS - I'm sure this will change in the future. It will be interesting to see what happens going forward with respect to what being the system of choice for ZFS.

How can I backup my napp-it settings (jobs etc). Looking at migrating off of OmniOS.

Well Linux ZFS now supports native encryption. Seems that it's maturing.

Ok, This is all starting to make sense now. Thank you Hammer and Gea. So the files are encrypted. ZFS will know right away if one of the underlying files were to be corrupted and we are going with a RaidZ setup because it will give us the ability to resilver if one (or more) files were to be...

http://constantin.glez.de/blog/2012/02/introducing-sparse-encrypted-zfs-pools I wonder if the above can be used where the files are backed via onto Fuse and S3. I could just zfs send into this pool and it would handle sending up to the cloud. There must be a standard way to do this. It's 2017 :)

what do you mean by build a zfs on a raid 1-3 of files? My use case is that I'm trying to figure a cost effective way of backup up some pools and would like the backups to be incremental with the usual zfs snaps. Just trying to figure out the best way to store them e.g. Full blown server on...

So does this mean that if backing up to AWS. You would use at least 2 drives to store your data?

Gea, Any thoughts on performing a ZFS send directly to file and sending it up into the cloud via something like rclone? Basically want to send all my snaps in file format as a backup. I suppose the risk is that if if one of the snaps is corrupted you are basically screwed.
