Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Omnios as a zfs storage server under esxi 5.1

First of all, a virtualized SAN is not a problem but a good idea on a lot of use cases unless you can supply the same CPU, RAM and disk recommendations like you would do on on real hardware. It is also not a problem, that you cannot do vmotion with your SAN-VM (How would you vmotion your

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] napp-it OmniOS appliance boots very slow, used to work on OpenIndiana

One problem I am aware if you are using the ESXi appliance resulting in very slow bootup, extreme high CPU load and even data corruption: If you are on ESXi 5.5, you must use the vmxnet3 vnic or disable TCP segmentation offload in e1000.conf; add the following and reboot

Apple moves to SMB3 as the default protocol in OSX 10.10 so netatalk may be obsolete in future. The problem remains Illumos as there are no rumors whether the Nexntanta SMB2 improvements find their way to Illumos. Maybee a move to SAMBA4 is unavoidable in near future. Am 04.06.2014 um 21:25
