I want to make sure that if 1 rpool mirror fails the other will boot eg boot loader is on both disks. Maybe there is nothing for me to do?

How can I make sure that beadm loader writes to both my mirrors?

What is the command that napp-it uses to get that repaired list. Because fadm faulty pulls up nothing and when I try to repair what napp-it found it tells me it’s already been fixed.

What is the proper way to clear messages that IO devices have retired? Recently had to restore some VMs because of hardware failure and everything is fine but am seeing that message when Omni starts.

I’m in a bit of a jam. Upgraded my esxi and somehow in the process I lost my data store which was an NVME slog. I’m booting into OmniOS and am getting errors that an IO device has been retired. I can’t even run a zpool status as the pool is faulted and is unavailable. Any thoughts on how...

Thanks for that detailed explanation Gea. Do you know if OmniOS will support Optane Via passthrough In ESXi? I have an S3700 as my current slog and was thinking of replacing it with a P4801x. Not sure if there will be a large difference between the 100MB P4801x or a 900p. The former seems to...

Does it make sense to migrate to ZOL. It seems like this is what is being actively developed on now with Delphix moving away from Illumos. OmniOS/Nappit has been extremely stable - just works. But wondering if Linux is the way to go.

Currently downloading gcc on OmniOS via pkg install at 70k/sec (I'm on a gigabit connection). Feels like I'm downloading from some European basement over dial up 1999.

Has anyone else migrated off of OmniOS? It's becoming difficult to justify staying on it when there are other compelling options e.g. Linux or FreeBSD. I am leaning more towards BSD. Gea, how well does Napp-IT integrate with FreeBSD or Linux?

So when do we get a 32 core TR? Lol

Does anyone actually use Dolphin.

Xeon D or maybe the new silver line. Not sure about desktop processors. But both of those fit the bill. Atom was also recently updated. Check out servethehome.com. I have a Xeon D 1541 running 24/7.

32 cores!

Why the hell would I upgrade from my Ivy Xeon? :)

I can’t wait to see what pricing is on the equivalent Xeon W part. I also can’t wait for AMD to drop a TR part with 32 cores.
