Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Hi,
On a newly upgraded ESXi 5.0 host I also tried to upgrade OpenIndiana vm to the latest 151a version. The OI vm was running Napp-it 0.500s.
During the OI update I bricked the vm, basically by running out of space on rpool.
I tried to increase the disk size available for the OI vm, hoping...
While running IOmeter, I am noticing something strange: a bunch of drives in the pool don't seem to do anything.

I was just thinking the same to test :)
Here is the new pool:

I changed to cables, this is the new benchmarks (and some new).

Hi DJ,
Thank you for your reply.
I was certainly hoping for better performance on RAID-10 arrays with FC connection.
Since you have very similar setup, may I ask what is your pool configuration and what speed are you getting?
ChrisBenn, thanks... copying from zfs LUN to RAM drive seems to give a sustained ~ 400 mb/s speed.
I might have been bottlenecking on the Win2008... I will get an other 8 GB/s fiber card soon that I can install as a storage HBA for an ESXi 4.1 server, I will run more test on that.
However...
Astronot, the LSI 9211-8i is connected to the PRI_J0 and to the SEC_J0 connectors on the expander. (Item 8 and 11 in the documentation, Appendix D, page D-3.) Thanks!
Thank you for your quick reply.
iostat for copying a 3 GB file to RAM disk on the Win2008 box over 8 gb/s fiber, from each pool (hope I will figure out how to post here an attached file next time):

Hi,
I posted this at an other thread, but reading this one seems more appropriate one. (Apology for the double posting.)
I have an all-in-one ESXi, OpenIndiana test server but I am not happy with the speed.
