Is it still required, to create a VMFS disk from an Optane 900P or 4800X for SLOG in a napp-it all-in-one setup with Virtualized OmniOS or Openindiana? Or can we direct pass through the Optane now?

My failed test, was with pass-through PCI to Openindiana 2017.11.

I tried using the Intel Optane 900P 280GB AIC with Openindiana 2017.10 and the latest nvme driver, but could not get the card detected. I also have an Intel P3700 AIC that works in the same setup. Has anyone had luck the with the Optane 900P with either Openindiana or OmniOS?

Yes, something is not quite right, with the CrystalDisk 4K Q32T1 results for the 900P on bare metal. I've seen Samsung 960 PRO M.2 NVMe with Samsung NVMe driver, hit around 360 MB/s on the 4K Q32T1 test. Is Win 10 and CrystalDisk installed on separate boot drive?

For ZFS, you'll want to stay with your HBA (or upgrade to a 12G/SAS3 HBA), instead of looking at a hardware raid card.

Looks like you want to do split DNS, or NAT reflection. See Why can't I access forwarded ports on my WAN IP from my LAN/OPTx networks - PFSenseDocs

Using ipmitool from another machine, % ipmitool —H 1.2.3.4 —v —I lanplus —U username —P userpassword chassis power on

I also noticed that my SM IPMI Web UI (X10DRG-Q motherboard), does not show the Lower Non-Critical ( LNC) fan values. So, got curious, and looked at what the default value for lnc was for my motherboard. ipmitool -I lan -U ADMIN -H 192.168.1.2 sensor get FAN1 Password: Locating sensor...

Strange the ipmitool is not recognizing your SM Board. (Perhaps, the BMC firmware needs update ?) I'm not doing anything anything special to get ipmitool. On Unbuntu 17.04: $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ipmitool $ sudo modprobe ipmi_devintf

Vmware pulls the fan sensor from BMC/IPMI CIM. You can set the lower non-critical threshold using ipmitool. For example: $ ipmitool -I lanplus -U ADMIN -H 192.168.1.2 sensor thresh FAN1 Password: sensor thresh <id> <threshold> <setting> id : name of the sensor for which threshold is...

My RDIMM's are Samsung M393A4K40BB1-CRC0Q and Samsung M393A4K40BB1-CRC4Q. (I know, mixed stepping for memory modules.) These RDIMM's are on the tested memory list for the X10DRG-Q motherboard. Your X10DAX motherboard also list these Samsung M393A4K40BB1-CRC RDIMMs as tested memory. Its rare...

The blue slots should be the first slot for each channel. Which means you're populating one slot per channel, per CPU. This DIMM population maximizes the memory performance on these motherboards, when using dual Broadwell-EP CPU. I also populate all 8 blue DIMM slots on X10DRG-Q motherboard...

The E5-2696 V4 are Broadwell-EP. The Supermicro documentation for the X10DA{X,C,i} motherboard shows that you can populate all four channels, per CPU, and still have RDIMMs run 2400MHz. I'm assuming that your eight RDIMMs are evenly spread across the 4 channels * 2 CPUs (8 channels). Which...
