Looking to do a new SAN build and want to have the possibility for some more support than when using ordinary OmniOS. The SAN will host 30+ VMs. Have anyone tried zetaVault (http://www.zeta.systems/zetavault/intro/)? Their price is quite good, they are vmware and citrix verifier and they offer...

I have been scratching my head for the last 8 hours when benchmarking our storage performance from our xenservers and VMs running on them. The xenserver uses NFS for storage SR to a ZFS OmniOS machine with 32GB RAM and 8x Crucial M500 SSDs in a raid-z2 configuration. The connection is 1...

Hello! Our setup. OmniOS 8x Crucial 960GB SSD (15% OP). Gigabit network (soon 10gbe). 8 disks in raid-z2 shared via NFS. I expected us to saturate the 1gbit link but we are not :) A windows vm on xenserver with crystaldisk gives this. sync=disabled sync=always *Here i see the weird 30MB/s...

So i have spent the better part of the day trying to mount a esxi datastore over NFS hosted by solaris 11. I cannot figure out what is causing this issue. The solaris 11 box has a zfs volume /tank/vms. It is shared using the following commands: zfs set share.nfs=on tank/vms zfs set...

I am settings up my home lab and I am looking on advice on where and how to do my datastore for my VMs. Im going to buy two SSDs (250 or 500 GB) to use in a raid1 setup for datastore. For now i am going to use two 500GB 7200RPM Samsung hard drives. My hardware: C6100 (8x Xeon L5520, 96 GB...

Hi! So I thought this would be a standard hard drive replacement after ZFS reported “degraded too many errors” on one of my drives in a RAID-Z array. I first did a scrub on the pool but it did not help. The drive is a SEAGATE BARRACUDA GREEN 2TB 5900RPM SATA/600 64MB and is a replacement...

Hello I’m experiencing some weird problems with my Solaris express 11 and the VMXNET3 adapter after upgrading to ESXi 5.0. The box is an all-in-one esxi/zfs. I get these weird outputs in the console all the time: http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/4808/vmxnetprobs.png At first I...

Hello I´m searching for a media server software which allows me to watch my entire media collections (mostly 720/1080p .mkv movies) over the internet. I have 100/100 broadband so that should not be an issue. I have looked into Orb and TVersity but I feel that both these software’s are...

So I tested how a zpool with ashift=9 performed versus a zpool with ashift=12. The drives used where the Seagate Barracuda green 2TB 5900RPM SATA3 64MB (ST2000DL003). These drives are 4kb drives but uses a SmartAlign technology for handling it, I haven’t been able to find any info on how it...

Hello again! I have searched far and wide but have not really gotten my questions answered. Two part question. 1) Does the Seagate drives (ex ST2000DL003) SmartAlign ”function” correctly align the 4k sectors when using ZFS or do I still need to align them manually? On forums the answer...

Hi! Bought and M1015 recently but I’m having a hard time finding a correct SFF-8087 cable to be able to plug in SATA drives to the card. This is the cable I found that is a “forward” type and cost less then a fortune, but will it work...

I’m having some zfs filesystems all encrypted with the same 20+ key. The problem is that after each reboot I have to type in the 20+ passphrase multiple times. I’ve tried using: “zfs key -l –a” but I still have to type the same key multiple times and I really can’t find anything on this...

I’m having problems with one of my raidz1 pools. From time to time I get NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM raid ONLINE 1 0 0 raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t4d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c8t5d0 ONLINE...

Hi! My hard drives in the server are getting outdated (old 1TB / 500GB drives) so I started searching for replacements. I’m running ZFS and noticed the 512-byte emulation problem on all new drives. So are there any <2TB drive out there where you can turn off the 512-byte emulation? Or do I...
