    Streaming games from AMD cards?

    Try Sunshine - it's technically moonlight ported for AMD, and I've tested it before. Not as quick as cuda transcoding, but it works, all you need is moonlight clients to connect to it.

    EC2 instance

    Reserved just means that you commit to use/pay for that instance for a specific amount of time (1-3 years). It doesn't matter if its on or not, you pay for the entirety of the commitment. In return, you get significant discount (up to 70%). Useful for 24/7 workloads (like database workloads)...

    EC2 instance

    its a VM hosted within AWS' infrastructure - simple as that. Biggest difference would be the vcpu & memory allocation, as you cannot configure them separately (you can with storage/ebs) - think t-shirt sizes basically.

    a cloud guru

    yep. For the SA:A cert, acloudguru should be enough (at least in my case it was). I speak in the context of having hands-on with the AWS ecosystem of course, so take advantage of your free tier.

    Parsec gaming...

    I don't believe so, I've only ever used it on a 1:1 basis. I do have a couple of encoders and a gaming instance hosted in the cloud(tested with tesla t4 & a10g - close to 3080 perf), and have heavily tested both parsec and moonlight (on both h.264 and hevc). For actual gaming, moonlight all...

    Parsec gaming...

    I'd look at moonlight as well (especially if you have nvidia). I tested both parsec and moonlight, and still prefer the performance of moonlight. Although parsec has closed the gap significantly, i consistently get 4k (2160p) on apples to apples hardware with moonlight. also, parsec is not...

    We need better site-to-site VPN routers/gateways

    Are you open to using wireguard instead of IPSEC. I've had better experience and performance via wireguard site-to-site on opnsense/(pfsense).

    Fastest cloud storage for Fiber 1 Gbps + connection

    I can easily push and pull data to/from Amazon S3 and saturate my 1GB fiber via CLI - about $10/mo for 1TB one-zone IA. Pretty steep, but this is enterprise grade, so you get what you pay for.

    Just upgraded my HTPC to Linux

    Well, there's a Linux based TrueNAS (TrueNAS SCALE) which I believe is in alpha now, and does have docker support (even on the UI). At that point, VMs are a moot point, as you can find pretty much anything pre-built already within dockerhub. Minimal CLI, if that's completely fleshed out with...

    MS SQL Server in VMware Cluster

    Please take note of MSSQL licensing. to get full Alwayon AG features, you need enterprise, and list price of an enterprise 2-core pack is around $14k. so in a lot of cases, although its nice to have, its not the best solution (unless you have dependency on enterprise features like TDE, online...

    Slow Internet In America

    I would say Geography would be one of the biggest hurdle. Simple math from one of the countries given by OP: Japan: 145936 square miles USA: 3531905 square miles USA has 24x larger land mass if Japan spent 50B (for example) to build and lay down its fiber infrastructure, then it would cost...

    ok, cool, thanks Gea! Unfortunately, Oracle Solaris' lack for VMXNet 3 drivers kills it for me :/

    Steam library on NAS?

    try to carve out an iscsi volume and serve it as a block store directly. Should have less latency than SMB, as it doesn't have an extra overhead and has less abstraction. a separate isolated vlan on that iscsi traffic should help as well.

    Updating Omnios from r151024 to r151026

    Ok cool. is your nvidia shield on the same 192.168.1.x network? On your nvidia shield, have you also tried just the IP of your NAS? Also, make sure that NFS is turned on, on the shares themselves (especially if you're working with non-windows clients). By default, only smb/cfs is enabled...

    Updating Omnios from r151024 to r151026

    that's fine, that's your broadcast address. Have you done the second part of the scripts? what happens when you do 'cat /etc/resolv.conf'? for testing purposes, try using Google's DNS server '8.8.8.8', then try 'nslookup pkg.omniosce.org' and see if you get something

    Updating Omnios from r151024 to r151026

    check gateway config via 'netstat -rn -finet' if not setup properly, config via: 'route -p add default <router ip>' clso make sure to properly setup DNS via: echo 'nameserver <DNS server IP>' >> /etc/resolv.conf cp /etc/nsswitch.conf{,.bak} cp /etc/nsswitch.{dns,conf}

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

    hey Gea, When you did your testing on optane as an slog, were you able to do any comparative testing on the different scsi drivers on esxi (lsi sas, pvscsi, nvme)?
  33. J

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

    Yes. you should be able to flash it with an LSI 9211-8i IT firmware, to fully present the disks to the system (which ZFS prefers). With that said, that hba should be able to give you an additional 8 SATA/SAS hdds via 2x breakout cables, or even more via expanders.

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

    Well, I was planning on moving to Solaris 11.4, but they still don't have any viable drivers for VMXNet3. Until then, sticking to omnios.
  35. J

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

    that's a pity, I would've assumed that they prioritized this as Esxi is one of the biggest testing/POC platforms. Oh well, back to OmniOS :)

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

    gea, In your tests, Were you able to install vmware-tools/open-vm-tools in Solaris 11.4? Been struggling to have vmxnet3 working..

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

    On a side note, I just realized that napp-it fully supports Oracle Solaris; So if you have an oracle license, would you choose Oracle Solaris or Solarish/ZFS(OmniOS, OI, etc...)?
