I upgraded to the newest AIO ESXI 6.7 OVA nap-it and imported my zfs pools.
Getting this weird error message that I am not sure what it relates to.
Fetch Capacity failed efi_alloc_and_init failed. Fetch Capacity failed efi_alloc_and_init failed.
I am in the process of reslivering a drive, so...
Looked and couldn't find an answer. If I shut down my host and move all the local data stores to a 9211-8i, will all the drives be recognized and the inventory of VMs which are located on the local datastores work? In other words, are the drives (onboard) identified based on drives or paths?
Am in the process of contemplating upgrading my server to cut down the power bill?
I've got 24 spinners spread over 2 ZFS Raidz2 pools , so I am pretty sure that the 400 watts that I am currently drawing has a lot to do with them.
Question that I am wrestling with is how much power savings am...
I have 3 x M1015 IBM cards which were crossflashed to 9211-8i (IT) P17 with bios.
I am not exactly sure I need to upgrade, but thought it may be time to do it as I haven't flashed the cards since 2014 and am not sure whether the latest OMNIOS driver is relying on a certain level of firmware...
I am getting slowdowns on my pool named stripper. Specifically, it has an NFS datastore for my AIO Esxi and the vm's on that datastore are taking a long time to boot and are just generally sluggish. My OmniOS/napp-it vm appliance is showing high CPU usage and there is no scrub job or anything...
I have done as much reading as I can and am looking for a current recommendation on all the parts that I need to hook up two ESXi hosts (directly without the need for a 10gbe switch).
I am looking at these Intel 10gbe cards but for a short connection (1 to 3 feet) between hosts I am totally...
I am using an ESX(i) AIO with the latest appliance posted by Gea napp-it-14b Everything is working fine but I noticed on my older pools that I have imported into the new appliance I am getting the following messages:

Just looked up the available patches for 5.5.0 and was wondering if I can skip the 5.5.0u1 patch and go straight to the latest patch to include the NFS fix and all other fixes.
Just want to avoid a step. I know the patches are cumulative but it is still unclear to me whether I need to go to u1...

I was trying to set up a timecapsule and ran into some problems. I deleted the ZFS filesystem a few times to try and start over, and now when I reboot it keeps giving me errors trying to start up the shares.
Can someone give me a tip on how to wipe out the old AFP shares on ZFS file systems...

Edit: I have a 9201-8i from a different source. They are the same as a 9211-8i (for purposes of driver, firmware etc.) without the NVRAM...
As set out above, let me know if anyone has a full height bracket to trade for a low profile OEM IBM m1015 bracket.
I even have a LSI 9200-8e low profile bracket if that interests anyone.
I built a couple of fan controllers based on the these schematics and ordered the appropriate PWM fan splitting cable to do 5 fans.
I ordered 2 and made two controllers for my 2 SC846 cases, but I only need the one set.
