ok so I updated esxi from 6 to 6.7 as folks were saying that their 1366 boards/cpus seemed to do fine
ok I was up and running and then the strangest thing..
any time I try and hit napp-it from outside the box with a file transfer .. the network connection to the box would drop... at first I thought that the server crashed but it was up and running just could not talk to it
hum... so I SMB into a running OSX VM and hit it with some file load.. no issues... hit a napp-it SMB share with a file load.. bam.. network down... and I had to UNPLUG the SWITCH that the esxi box was plugged into from power to restore connection.. huh.. damdest thing I have ever seen
downdraded back to 6.0 .. everything was fine.. huh.. lets try 6.5... same deal... everything worked fine but the minute I tried to SMB into a napp-it share and hit it with load.. bam.. network down .. had to power cycle the switch.. .
so obviously back on 6.0 as this intel s5520 l5640 box evidently has a massive issue above 6.0
and napp-it was using 1000e for the primary link just like the osx vm.. really weird but omnios must be using some cpu call to offload something but why freeze at the switch...
huh..
