Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Building a machine
Hi Scott, Actually I would recommend Intel DH67GD over Intel DH67CF as it has 2 additional RAM slots and 1 additional SATA ports. I'm still waiting for my replacement board because of the Sandy Bridge motherboard chipset bug. :( Oh, and you have to plug a compatible NIC since e1000e driver needed for the integrated Intel NIC is not yet included in OI_148. CMIIW. Thanks.

The DH67CF looks perfect. A few more silly questions though, if I do a memory test before installing am I right to use this considering it's non-ecc? I'd still be backing my important data up to cd once a month. Second question is about installing, is it considered bad practice to install the os on the same raid pool as your data? If so is there any pci-e sata controllers anyone can recommend?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Another [OT] Hardware Post
Hi WK, AFAIK, the most available consumer level boards out there that support ECC RAM is ASUS. Not all ASUS boards though, but I see it more from ASUS than other board. At least that's the way they are in my country. I'm having difficulties on finding Unbuffered ECC RAM, since usually consumer level boards and AMD CPU (not Opteron) only support Unbuffered ones, not the Registered ones. CMIIW.

After my backups started failing verification, I realized how easily a stick of bad ram can corrupt files, and I made sure my motherboards support ECC memory. It's not too expensive, but I wish it was more widely used so the price would drop further.

If things get hairy, you can also do sys-unconfig (reconfigure system as root admin) to set your system back up - only takes a few minutes to do. It'll walk you through NIC and networking setups instead of having to create files yourself. There are other methods, but just do that as a run through for now... ~ Ken Mays --- On Mon, 1/31/11, Okky Hendriansyah mawcik...@gmail.com wrote: From: Okky Hendriansyah mawcik...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Missing Intel NIC Driver on OpenIndiana oi_148 To: Discussion list for OpenIndiana openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org Cc: ken mays maybird1...@yahoo.com Date: Monday, January 31, 2011, 11:56 AM Hi Ken, I tried using Solaris 11 Express Live CD and it still missing the driver.
