Making a small test notes thread:
Test Configuration Notes
Testbed: Supermicro X10SDV-F w/ X520-da2 NIC
Location: The Intel Optane Memory 16GB m.2 card is in the m.2 slot.
Experiments
Set Intel Optane Memory as boot device in BIOS - did not work.
Install Proxmox VE 5.0 Beta on drive - installer sees the drive but does not boot.
Install Ubuntu 17.04 on drive - installer error
Install CentOS 7.3 on drive - installer error
Initial conclusion: do not use this as a boot device.
ZFS
Debian ZFS on Linux L2ARC:
Debian ZFS on Linux ZIL:
Virtualization
KVM virtualization Optane Memory pass-through: Working. Even works with Windows guests. See below.
