Copper connections have less latency on short links then fiber as you don't have the electric to optical conversion (when done properly) Do yourself a huge favor and go to the SFP+ direct attach stuff. Longer lengths, thinner cables, better cables, etc. The switches are becoming really inexpensive. (I ordered pair of the Intel X520 DA2 cards from all of the recommendations here. I should have them tomorrow) ___ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss

I would only use optics and fiber if I have long runs. -Chip -Original Message- From: OmniOS-discuss [mailto:omnios-discuss-boun...@lists.omniti.com] On Behalf Of Richard Elling Sent: Saturday, March 28, 2015 07:40 AM To: Doug Hughes Cc: omnios-discuss Subject: Re: [OmniOS-discuss] best or preferred 10g card for OmniOS On Mar 26, 2015, at 9:24 AM, Doug Hughes d...@will.to wrote: any recommendations?

[OmniOS-discuss] Final bloody release for 151013
I've pushed a whole wad out except for pkg(5), so expect a large update. This is the contents of r151014, except any fixes for what I find in testing prior to its release, and one or two policy changes for signed packages in 014 itself. - omnios-build master commit 1212faf - Fix to ipmitool (thanks Andy!) - Reduction in pkg verify noise (thanks Ben!) - Fix to omnios-userland for libpcap's update - Timezone database to 2015a - OpenSSL to 1.0.2a - sudo's Timezone (TZ environment variable) checking backported. - zsh to 5.0.7 - PCI.IDs now are pulled from illumos-omnios, instead of we having two copies - libffi to 3.2.1, with better build infrastructure. - illumos-omnios master branch commit 45f3064, merged will illumos-gate 4e90188 - SMBIOS up to 2.8 - Several mr_sas fixes for modern LSI MegaRAID boards, including better raw-disk support for boards that support it. - NFS lock manager now won't fail in startup when statd leaves entries behind (illumos #4518 - read its analysis, please) - Disassembly support for Intel BMI1, BMI2, AVX2, and FMA instructions. This is the last r151013 bloody release. The next time there is a bloody release, there will be new ISOs, new Kayaks, and a new revision: r151015. Thanks!
