I'm about to setup a new ZFS system and just wondering what the preferred OS currently is. I've been running ZFS on OpenIndiana oi_151a7 in ESXI for many years. Running Napp-It free0.9b3 nightly Aug.01.2013 (thanks Gea). This is a system I'm running for my own personal home use so I rarely...

I'm running a pretty beefy zfs server for quite awhile now. Probably 3-4 years. And never really any problems. I had drives go bad before, I mean it happens especially when I'm running 72 drives (at almost 200TB) for all this time. When I built my server and the chassis I always order an...

Is it possible to 'clone/ghost' an entire esxi drive? I have a fully working ESXI box with multiple VMs on it at home. The hardware is almost entirely esxi server grade/HCL approved. What happened is I originally just wanted a small 'boot' system drive for esxi and the very limited VMs I was...

In theory, it should work fine. Has anyone tried to daisy chained chenbro's expanders yet? Because of issues with chaining the HP expanders, I'll be moving away from them for the time being. The Chenbro has 2 external SFF-8088 connectors. The docs says "In" and "Out" for them. They seem to...

Not a standard backup or recovery. I just want to know if there's a way to read what's on a bad drive. A simple file listing would suffice. These are simple single volume, NTFS formatted. Here's what happened. During a recent move some drives were (I assume) damaged. They now click and...

I'm not sure what's going on. My 470 has been folding fine since I started several weeks ago. Even got help from [H] here to add my extra 9800 to the folding mix. My 470 is just not doing anything. The only thing that was changed was the directory location. I recently moved all 3 of my...

I have some spare hardware I'll toss fah on. I'm new to F@H but I used to do DC-'like' projects years ago. Since electric and free AC come with my apartment I may as well take advantage of that. One of my PC has a 9800GT which I'm tring to throw the GPU client (win7) against but it doesn't...

My question is how to go about figuring what's needed from a PSU for hard drives? I know boot time is the largest draw so I'm guessing that's what I really need. That spike during boot time. In my case, most of the hardware is kinda modest. Normal supermicro board, q6600 (no OC), onboard...

Hello, This is my first real attempt at setting up VMWare's ESXi 4.0. I have a decent understanding of VMs in general but I'm failing to understand the process of setting up another storage drive for a VM. There's alot of knowledgeable people on here and hoping someone can help me with...
