[smartos-discuss] iPXE + iSCSI booting

2016-09-26 Thread David Preece
Hi, As per subject I'm (still) trying to do a headless boot of a diskless node. I have created an image of an installed SmartOS and am sharing it via iSCSI. Running a virtualbox VM that has the iSCSI share as a 'device' and smartos-iso as an optical drive it boots just fine. However, when

Is there a suite/script/configs for benchmarks that have emerged as standardized in the smartos community? I'm most interested in disk I/O, and would like to compare native linux hardware RAID vs MD RAID, and Native zone hardware RAID vs. ZFS (without and with SLOG). Ideally (time permitting)

Hi Matthew, > have you tried w/ another OS Not yet - the box did go through a one week Linux-based test programme (CPU, RAM, HBA, disks, etc.), and a one-week synthetic workload test (running zones that are preconfigured to simulate our usual load situations, under standalone SmartOS) before
