My ESX 6.5 vhost is running out of space. I thought using ZFS in past, swap smaller drives with bigger allow to resilver and keep replacing drives and it's done. Well....not sure my HP Proliant can....anyone with experience? I have a HP Proliant G6 DL380 w/ (5) 146gb SAS drives (RAID5) on...

Running OmniOS on a SuperMicro box w/ 6 600GB SAS drives (zPool) as ISCSI target. My XenServers both report only 250MB in use (I moved all my VM's off to clear snapshots) however keep getting emails from the server ZFS is near capacity which I know it's not. I read somewhere the only recourse...

You and me both minus the day trader but trying to be a setup trader.

Well, that's what we did was remove the drive physically. But why would rebooting to box in the default BE keep rebooting? In my 20 years experience in Servers, I've not had a NON-ROOT drive cause this...and I've seen a lot. I have OmniTI looking into it....their answer - upgrade to latest...

My server build using LSI 9211-8 controller. I'm not seeing the same performance that others have posted. Should this be better? 4 - SAS WD 600GB 1 - Intel s3700 120GB SSD pool: ISCSI state: ONLINE status: The pool is formatted using a legacy on-disk format. The pool can...

This is the part I'm unsure how to perform - I'm using XenServer...Any clues..

Does anyone here pay for OmniOS support? What has your experience been? Response; Expertise? Joe

Upgraded a 3 year old Dual Quadcore 12 bay SuperMicro box over this past weekend. Added 64GB RAM, added a LSI SAS 9211-8i HBA next to an existing SuperMicro SATA Card. The bottom shelf of the chassis is SATA (4) wide. Bay 1 & 2 are controlled by the on-board SATA controller while 3 & 4 are...

legen - I just wrapped up a trip to a datacenter that "centered" around upgrading our SuperMicro box with 62GB RAM, (4) Intel s3700 SSD's and dropping in a LSI9211-8i controller running the other (8) SAS 600GB HS disks in the shelf. Installed OMNIOS, and in the midst of configuring my mirror...

I have not had an issue with my SATA drives. The SATA drives we use are either the WD REDS or WD RE3/RE4
