Hi Bryan, thx for the link, did you actually check that the 6 gen NUCs work as the issue 727 states that sky lakes are affected as well. Cheers, -Jan Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 1, 2017, at 23:15, de...@hyltown.com wrote: > > i've received a few off-list responses in addition to the one

i've received a few off-list responses in addition to the one below, and i appreciate them all! i've dismissed these in the past for multiple reasons, and after seeing usb3 supported wanted to reconsider. unfortunately, it looks like the newer ones are still unusable for a different reason.

The one I picked allows for one M2 and one more 2.5" drive AFAIK. -Jan Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 1, 2017, at 21:50, de...@hyltown.com wrote: > > thanks for that! > > do all the NUCs max out at 16GB memory? > do any allow dual drives? > > - On Aug 1, 2017, at 3:20 PM, Brian Bennett

thanks for that! do all the NUCs max out at 16GB memory? do any allow dual drives? - On Aug 1, 2017, at 3:20 PM, Brian Bennett wrote: > You can refer to my NUC BoM list. > [ http://a.co/76v1D0W | http://a.co/76v1D0W ] > It includes notes about which parts

Hi Jack, This for your input on this and I will contact them as I was just about to get it, but had not done so yet. I will have to ensure that contact them and see what else is available with Intel VT-x and EPT support , or any Intel E3, E5, or E7 CPU systems to see what might be available.

Thanks for the link, Humberto. I have now grabbed the usb-latest as well as coal-latest and will start with CoaL, after re-thinking the initial steps just to ensure that I can learn what will be needed to provision the hosted baremetal dedicated server HN as well as setting up the iPXE boot KVM

Hi Toens, Thanks for your reply to my post, and for the links. To give you an idea as to what I currently will be testing on, I have: 1. Baremetal (AMD Octacore Custom Server 8 Cores / 8 Threads, 3.1Ghz / 3.4Ghz Turbo, 32GB DDR3, 4TB SATA, 1Gbit Port, 1 public IP ) 2. VPS Systems ( 4 KVM VPS

Hi, SmartOS supports both M.2 SATA and M.2 PCIe drives. I am using a NUC Kit (NUC6CAYH) and a Giga Z97 system with a M.2 SATA and a M.2 PCIe drive respectively. They both work well. Although I am using the latest SmartOS image, I don't think it necessary. Cheers. Baitao Long

Thanks Cody, for the clarification on this. Although this will be a development stage for us in the project, I think that the design that we have in mind will require Triton but I might try to fire CoaL up as well just to get a feel. Cheers, Lonnie :) On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 10:25 PM, Cody

[smartos-discuss] Intel NUC with M2 drive support on SmartOS

2017-08-01 Thread Jan Paul
Hi, I’m getting together a home SmartOS box in form of intel NUC (NUC 5I7RYH) but I'm still debating the drive, is the M2 SATA/PCIe drive supported or do I need to use the 2.5 inch SATA drive for zones pool? Did someone try this one from crucial?
