So I've been looking for a decent NAS case for quite some time now that can push the limits on disk count. I've come across cases up to 8 drives or so, but these cases have a lot of wasted space internally, and are expensive, noisy and leave me wanting.
So, I've started putting together some...
As I understand it, ESXi has had support for USB 2.0 devices, and with ESXi 5.0, it now has support for USB 3.0. While I can get my VM's to see external USB devices (hard disks in this case), the performance sucks!
Typically I get transfer rates of around 7MB/s to/from the disks, which really...
G'day Guys,
I'm having some strange issues on my Solaris Express 11 and ZFS. I'm getting a lot of iostat errors on ONE of my zpools when I it under load:

Row 2: 4,5,6,7
etc...
In this case, the drives are showing up as...

G'day All,
I have a Cisco 2611 router that has had it's flash: erased (ie: no IOS). When I connect to console and fresh boot the device, I get the following text appear, and then nothing else:

G'day All,
I've been having a world of pain trying to find examples of configuring access to a SIP provider like Voip.ms on my Cisco CME router. I'm trying to configure both inward and outward dialing from my Cisco IP Phone, but so far no joy. I'm not sure I'm understanding things properly...
G'day All,
I'm trying to find some info about VIC and WIC cards. I know that VIC cards are voice cards and WIC cards are WAN/data cards. However, I'm wondering which ports I can plug each into respectively on the 2620XM's.
WIC's work fine in the expansion slots, but I havn't tried VIC's...
