So as a backup drive only will these be OK set up in raidz1 using OmniOs?, and if there is a lot of data will it take too long to restore let's say 40TB+?

Thank you all for your help, this has helped with having a lot of headaches in the future, so currently the highest internal HDD for NAS use it the 6tb.

I was hoping to use this drive in ZFS raidz 1 or 2, why does it not work, shouldn't archived data not be accessed when required?

Will the Seagate 8tb HDD work in a NAS serving media? I am contemplating to use this drive for my next upgrade, any comments?

Thanks for all your help guys, since the system re-silvered it has been running rock solid now for a few days, thanks to Napp-it and Nexenta, now hopefully updating to OmniOs and Napp-it will go smooth. Any step by step for updating, I haven't done this for a while so... upgrading to OmniOs I...

Thank you omniscence, I am going to see if I can work out whether this related to a hardware failure.

Is this right, would you get 9 drives resilvering while I have only changed one? zpool status: Pool pool: NAS state: ONLINE status: One or more devices is currently being resilvered. The pool will continue to function, possibly in a degraded state. action: Wait for the resilver...

Thank you Gea.

Really weird, tonight I have managed to access the server via Napp-it and it is still showing degraded, see below: pool: NAS state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a...

The re-silvering estimated time was 21 hours, I left it for 24 hours and I couldn't access the NAS via Napp-it or via my windows 7 PC. I have re-booted the server and still the same, anyone got any idea how to trouble shoot this issue?

Just re-placed the corrupted drive and currently re-silvering, I will upgrade to OmniOs and Napp it once the silvering has finished, hope it is OK doing it this way around.

Hummm... that was a too early diagnoses I think...it has gone again (see below): zpool list: Pool VER SIZE ALLOC RES FRES FREE CAP DEDUP FAILMODE AUTOEXPAND AUTOREPLACE ALTROOT GUID HEALTH ENCRYPT ACTION NAS 28 41.7T 33.3T - - 8.38T 79% 1.00x wait off off -...

Here I am again, after the great 2 weeks holidays in the Red Sea Egypt, back to work now and after adjusting to work and the daily grind of life I have decided to look at my NAS again and what to do about the degraded pool problem. Quite amazed to see that all is well, my drives and pool are...

Thank you all for all your help, I will get to it as soon as I come back of my summer holidays ;).

Should all the hardware drivers that are currently supported on Nexenta will work as well on OmniOs?

Thanks, do I need to export the pool first, then import after installing Omnios, does the degraded message means that one of my drives is giving up?

I have recently experienced multiple freezes while watching a movie on my NAS while accessing it via my popcorn hour via SMB, I have tried accessing the NAS (24 HDD's) via MY WINDOWS 7 PC and Nappit and found that my NAS was loosing the network connection. I have managed to open Nappit today...

Yes there is that, the Bitlocker but as stated by Deamon10000 TPM is required and I think the dell venue 11 support TPM, the last thing would RDP but RDP can be used if an app is downloaded from windows store.

Great tablet, awesome screen, I was going to get the i3 or i5 models but the fans and weight put me off, I would have rather had 128gb ssd and 4gb of ram at the least but for me the fans and weight meant a no no. So I have bought tonight a Samsung micro SD uhs-1 class 10 64gb card to...

Thanks for quick response guys greatly appreciated, I will ponder over what to do then contact Dell.

I bought the Dell venue 11 pro Atom version and I have received it today, I have realised that Dell sent me the wrong Windows 8.1 version that I have ordered, my order was for Windows 8.1 pro and I have received 8.1. The tablet has got 2gb of ram and 64gb ssd with 3G, should I ask for a...

Replacing the motherboard will not deter me, I have been puting my pc's together for a while now, well I don't get any error codes or LED paterns, it's completely dead. I am guessing that if Dell think the mobo is dead, must be a heat issue they're aware about, something must be fried on the...

My son's M11X R2 suddenrly stopped working, unfortunately it's out of warranty 2.5 years old, Dell recken I need a new mobo @ £578.00 plus fitting it they're doing the job, no chnace I'm paying that. This is the least lasting pc or laptop I have ever had and for the cost I thought should have...

Thank you.

How do you find Illumian? I have yet to upgrade to it as I am awaiting to build the back up server first. I should imagine Napp-it is ready for the Ilumian now...is it?

Thanks for the info dandragonrage, I have been reading that this can be crossed flashed with the LSI 9211 firmware to turn it into IT mode, is anyone using this with ZFS?

Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 will this card support 3tb drives?

I think RaidZ2 should be enough for now as I am thinking of building another machine running WHS for backing up the ZFS machine to maximise on storage space.

Thank you, greatly appreciated.

I am running Nexenta and my drives are in Raidz 2 (zfs file system) in pools of 4 x 2tb, I have currently got 16 drives in an Norco RPC-4224. My mobo has only got two PCIe slots the 16x is where the LSI is connected and the HP SAS Expander is in the 4x slot, the mobo is the AMD AN8 SLI, I...

Can you recommend a reasonably priced HBA to upgrade the LSI Card? I am using this with an HP SAS expender card.

Does this mean that only 2.2TB of the hard drive are usable?, I assume LSI will not update their firmware to support 3TB then?

Is anyone using the LSI SAS3442ER with 3TB drives? does the LSI SAS3442ER need a firmware update to work the the 3TB. Thank you for all your help.

If you are going to use WOL sleep/ suspend with your machine you need to make sure that your hardware drivers are compatible with solaris and derivatives. I remember trying to get WOL working with my machine and never managed it as the graphics drivers did not want play nice, in the end I...

Good work really appreciated, I will wait for your Napp-it to be ready before installing, many thanks for your hard work Gea.

Is Illumian supported by your Napp-it Web-UI Gea?

Thank you Gea, I was just searching for this, there is no upgrade path to Nexentacore 3.0 I take it? Will the import pool work if a fresh install is made?

Stupid me, that's right raidz1 not raidz2:o, so any one drive can fail in a vdev. I have moved now 182GB elsewhere, is it safe enought now to add the other 4 drives?

Yes that is correct, I have got 3 vdev's each with 4 drives, I thought I should be getting 18tb usable with 24tb raw? If I recall one disc is lost for parity per vdev, must have got it wrong then. A larger Raidz2 would need more drives per vdev, so if and when I need to add drives I would...

Guys I need to add another 4 HDD's RAIDZ2 to the pool and have some questions: I have filled all the space in the current pool (3 x 4 x 2tb drives in raidz2), can I just add the next 4 HDD's cause I read somewhere that you need to have a least 20% of space before adding more drive so the pool...
