#1: SolarFlare SFN5122F dual port 10gbe NIC - this is a PCIe card that retails for a lot of money. Works with Windows, Linux, and vSphere... maybe others. It requires fiber SFP+'s. As far as I can tell, its not too picky about them. $300 shipped. #2 10Gbase-SR SFP+'s. I have an Intel, Oracle...

If I have a pair of cache drives in RAID 1, can that pair service multiple arrays and LUNs obviously connected to the same card?

I'm looking to build a 1U ZFS on Linux SAN based around this SuperMicro barebones. It has 4 3.5" bays with available hotswap kit to use 2.5" drives. I don't want to consider a bigger kit at this time. http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5017/SYS-5017R-WRF.cfm The SAN will be used...

If I have a RAID controller passed through to a VM, can I boot from that RAID controller? Never tried it and currently don't have the hardware to test.

I know we have a few users with the 7-series Adaptec cards using maxCache 3.0 so I'm hoping that they'll weigh in. I'm currently using a 6805 with a RAID 10 of 8x4tb drives - Seagate ST4000DX000 drives for my storage on my Hyper-V server. Performance is good but I think storage is the slow...

Prefinished hardwood floors are coated with aluminum oxide. Aluminum oxide paints are being tested for RF blocking so if any of you are having trouble with wifi between floors, this is likely your culprit. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8279549.stm My AP is on the first floor and I...

What is the cheapest Cisco router that can handle a T3? I'm ok with/prefer used. Thanks.

I am planning a Wireless PtP installation. At one of the sites, it makes the most sense to do a wall penetration and feed cable through. I can either have the installer pull coax from the dish to the inside AP or put the AP outside and just run Cat6 in. He insists that he has to run through the...

Since my hotswap bays won't sell, I guess I'm making a JBOD out of them. I need a rackmount case with 9 5.25" bays. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121025 I'm going to put a Chenbro expander in there (dumbass me for selling) and use 12 drives. I'll pay $80...

Can the Perc6/i do a nondestructive RAID level change from 6 to 10? I have a machine with a 4 drive RAID 6 that should really be 10.

I'm looking for a network capable UPS that works with Linux and Windows. I will have between 2 and 4 power hungry servers connected. I would like a run time of 20 minutes or more at 50% load. I need a tower UPS, not rack mount. This is not for a business, so I have a certain tolerance for...

Windows on Proxmox VE, that is. I loaded Proxmox on an SSD and Windows on another drive in a qcow2 image file. I built a 4 drive RAID 6 array with mdadm and attached /dev/md0 to the Windows VM. The LUN passed through with no problems and I could format it as NTFS. I copied about 500gb of ISOs...

http://wiki.freebsd.org/HAST It appears to have similar functionality to Linux DRBD and works with ZFS and carp. It should be possible to create a replicated failover NFS/CIFS/iSCSI server - useful for virtual machine HA/Live Migration and other clustering. Anyone tried it?

An OpenSolaris boot mirror for a storage server is very likely to see almost no I/O. Would OpenSolaris allow you to carve out slices on the boot devices so it could share it with the a mirrored ZIL and/or the L2ARC? I know FreeBSD could do it...

Found this post over at storagereview.com. http://forums.storagereview.com/index.php/topic/28333-tler-cctl/ Sounded interesting. I don't have the right setup to test this, but perhaps someone with a Linux software raid could try?

A few weeks ago, I was evaluating ZFS on FreeBSD 8.0 on ESXi 4. After working with it for a bit, I managed to get it running acceptably as an iSCSI target. When I turned on ZFS compression, performance took a major hit and worse, the entire VM would pause for several seconds. My problem is...

Reading this forum, I have noticed that a lot of people are concerned about noise from their servers. Personally, I don't have a problem with noise because my servers sit in the basement and always have. Even when I was in college and living at home (back in the good 'ol Athlon XP days), I...
