    ESXi 5.1 Host Freezing Issues

    I had a similar issue where ESXi would stop responding for no apparent reason. Sometimes it would come back from dead in 10-15 minutes sometimes not. Installing 5.1 Update 1 fixed the problem for me.

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    Every time I access 'Disks -> Smart Info' page on Napp-It, Solaris (11.1) generates below message for every hard drive attached to the system and increases soft error count by one. As described here http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/ticket/261 this is happening because Napp-It...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    I have TLS running on Solaris 11.1 If I remember correctly, I had to downgrade Socket SSL package by running "install S/SU/SULLR/IO-Socket-SSL-1.68.tar.gz" in the CPAN shell

    Virtualized storage - hide from main OS?

    Tehnically you could passthrough internal sata ports, but then you would need to install host OS somewhere else. USB possibly. In ESXi at least once you configure device as passthrough device host does not touch it so it does not see what's connected to it.

    Virtualized storage - hide from main OS?

    You can do that in the ESXi as well as Xen. In VMware world it is called VMDirectPath or DirectPath I/O. The thing to keep in mind that you can passthrough a PCI device not a hard drive so you basically would need to passthrough HBA or RAID card. DirectPath also requires some special hardware...

    Napp-it AIO ESXi Host to VM Transfer Speed

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    In the all in one setup is transfer speed between ESX and napp-it NFS share limited by the speed of physical NIC? I have ESX connected to the NFS share on Solaris VM, but the transfer speed is flat ~930 Mbps. Is there any way to work around this?

    Solaris 11.1 + napp-it cannot set user passwords

    Thanks Gea that solved the problem. It is interesting that I already had the entry that you mention in the '/etc/pam.d/other' inserted by the napp-it installer. But I also had unneeded entry in the '/etc/pam.conf'. BTW thanks a lot for your work on napp-it,

    Solaris 11.1 + napp-it cannot set user passwords

    I figured out that this have to do with PAM. If I remove entry that napp-it added: other password required pam_smb_passwd.so.1 nowarn from pam.conf password setting starts working again. I am sure that breaks something else though.
