Thank you for your quick answer. So I've installed the last OpenIndiana on a another boot disk and add napp-it but I can't import my pools because I've got an error : "Could not proceed due to an error. Please try again later or ask your sysadmin. Maybe a reboot after power-off may help...

Hi Gea, After long time I've finally started my old server that I build 10 years ago under Esxi/OpenIndiana and napp-it. Simple Nas with 3 pools I shared on SMB with all defaults (almost). My Server is composed with : ¤ SuperMicro X8SIL-F-O ¤ X3430 ¤ 16Gb DDR3 ECC ¤ 2 x IBM BR10i (LSI IT...

How can I share a ZFS storage under Open Indiana + Napp-it with a another virtual machine like Ubuntu on the same host ?

Thank you Gea for your quick reply, I appreciate :) I think to stand on RaidZ because of space and it's fast enough... Can I read temperatures of HDD in Napp-it ? And what about power economy of HDD (spin-off) ?

After two months, I have received all hardware and I use napp-it on Open Indiana under ESXi :cool: By the way, I've didn't easy choice between Napp-it and ZFSGuru ! :) So for a test, I've did a pool raidz with 4 x Samsung 2T. Are the benchmarks are good ?

My server : ¤ Norco 4220 ¤ Corsair GX 800W ¤ SuperMicro X8SIL-F ¤ X3430 ¤ 16Gb DDR3 ECC ¤ 3 x IBM BR10i ¤ Dell Perc 5i ( just for backup files) ¤ 1 x 160 Go 2.5" ¤ 8 x Western Digital Green 1To ¤ 4 x Samsung 2To

Hi everybody, I try to use my Perc 5/i under ESXi (VMDirectPath) with a VM FreeNAS but if it is recognized, I can't access it. I have an error in FreeNAS : Mar 12 11:58:28 freenas kernel: mfi0: <Dell PERC 5/i> mem 0xdc800000-0xdc80ffff,0xd9c20000-0xd9c3ffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci3...

Uptime ? What do you mean ?

Hello, I'm waiting for my orders and I'm wonder if I buy an another 2.5" 160Go for making a Raid1 OS ? It's better for ZFS, no ?

Yes, FreeNas doesn't support LSI 6Gbps SAS 2008 so you can't use it with this controller.

Thanks Gea & Omniscence ! I've read again the docs and I've found this : VMDirectPath limits VMDirectPath PCI/PCIe devices per host 8 VMDirectPath PCI/PCIe devices per virtual machine 4 So It's Okay for me :cool:

Hi, Any problems with a HBA and a SAS Expander under ESXi and ZFS ? Many thanks !

So I should buy an Sas expander if I can't use 3 devices on ESXi and keep a BR10i...

We can read smart but don't know for power management. However, there is one problem with 3 HBAs because EXSi can connect 2 devices maximum to a VM :(

I don't think, I should say that HT can even reduce in virtualization... But I never tried, I've bought too a X3430 :D Experts can confirmed :confused:

Thanks for the list !

Is KVR1333D3Q8R9S/8G fine for the X8SIL-F or not ?

Sounds good !

Have you got smart infos and power management (spin-up/down) with your Br10i ?

...

So, have you finally got your Br10i into LSI IT firmware ?

Yes, I want to make ZFS array. So with the SuperMicro X8SIL-F and 3* IBM Br10i, I'm on good way ?

So what doing :confused: And where to buy a 1068 controller ? I don't find them on eBay and between us I prefer to use an expander with the motherboard because of the price and the other hand I still have my 2 Perc5i, maybe I keep them ? I can change too the motherboard (X8SIL-F) and going...

Even under ESXi and virtualized FreeNas ?

Thanks everybody and Gea ;) So my config will be : ¤ Norco 4220 ¤ Corsair GX 800W ¤ SuperMicro X8SI6-F ¤ X3430 ¤ 16Gb DDR3 ECC ¤ SAS Expander ¤ 1 x 160 Go 2.5" ¤ 8 x Western Digital Green 1To ¤ 4 x Samsung 2To (not yet in bold) One more thing, if I run FreeNAS (virtualized)...

Interesting but I would like to use Bittorrent + Sabnzbd in my server. Is it possible to use them in VM under VMWare ESXi ? One other thing, the Core i3 doesn't have VT-d...

Okay I think about all this and the best solution is to change my configuration with a server motherboard and IPMI with KVM support. I would take : ¤ SuperMicro X8SI6-F ¤ Intel Core i3-550 ¤ 4x2Gb DDR3 ECC ¤ HP Sas Extender But I wonder if software Raid5 doesn't take much time in...

Hi, Is WHS supports raid cards like Perc5i ? I mean smart, spinoff/on, array...

The good news is I have a Q8300 in my HTPC then I swap it with the e2160 !

My reasons are multiples but the most important is I want more support of my Perc5i because there are no smart on my disks and no hard disk standby time. I want to be able to install some WM. And I would like to simply install some addins like Sabnzbd, CouchPotato,.. because on FreeNas is...

Okay for the memory, I'll think about it. And for the migration, I still don't know how I'm doing it, perhaps with 2 pc and a Perc5i on each. There are only one Perc used on FreeNas and one array of 8 x 1To so I can use the other Perc and a array of 4 x 2To on a other pc for the...

Hi, I'm new in this forum :cool: My server is compose of: ¤ Norco 4220 ¤ Fortron Green 400W ¤ P5N32-E SLI plus ¤ Pentium e2160 ¤ 2 x 2Go DDR2 OCZ Reaper ¤ 2 x Perc 5/i +BBU ¤ 1 x 80Go 2.5" (OS) ¤ 8 x WD Green 1To ¤ 4 x Samsung 2To It's actually on FreeNas and I think to...
