Actually just came across a: Dell PowerEdge C6220 SFF 4 Node Server 8x Xeon E5-2650 256GB RAM 16x Caddy RAILS for about $2,000 but would have to see if it meets the remaining requirements. I'd really rather not pay that much to get started, though. Cheers, Lonnie On Sun, Aug 6, 2017 at 6:38

[smartos-discuss] Myricom 10Gb ethernet card & jumbo frames

A few months ago I ran into a problem booting SmartOS with my Myricom card set up for jumbo frames (MTU of 9000). It was working for a long time but stopped. I was wondering if anybody has a solution to the problem. My short-term fix was to set the MTU to 1500 and move on, but I then forgot to

Re: [smartos-discuss] hardware selection question

Thanks Steve, Currently, the R710's that I had been looking at, I was actually remembering not to have a raid controller since I seem to remember coming across that in my reading on Triton Data Center somewhere and sent the retailer a message asking if it had Intel VT-x and EPT support. I

Re: [smartos-discuss] hardware selection question

I saw a Supermicro with 60 drives in a 4U chassis! They max out at 90 I believe. The amount of money saved by using ZFS, and not RAID controllers, must be quite noticeable. -- Steve --- smartos-discuss Archives:

RE: [smartos-discuss] hardware selection question

If you want to test / play or use Project FiFo you need at least E-xxx Xeon processors since FiFo needs the special embedded encryption instruction (AVX?) set. I always order the idrac advanced or the HP Ilo professional license. It happened twice in my life that I lost contact with the global
