If SunVTS is installed you may also
want to consider running ramtest:
SunVTS 7.0:
cd /usr/sunvts/bin/sparcv9 ( or bin/64 )
./ramtest -xo pass=2

If you don't test your RAM, how are you sure you have no problems (unless you

I usually keep an eagle eye on my personal systems. If something appears
to be wrong, I usually spend considerable time into diagnosing. Goes as
far as me running zpool status everytime I
Yes, I'm not surprised. I thought it would be a RAM problem.
I always recommend a 'memtest' on any new hardware.
Murphy's law predicts that you only have RAM problems
on PC's that you don't test!

I added a SI 2 port PCI SATA controller, but it seemed to not be recognized
so I am not using it.
Do you by chance mean Silicon Image with that SI? Their chipsets
aren't exactly known for reliability and data safety. Just pointing that
out as potential source of problems.

This could be a hardware problem. Bad powersuply for
the load? Try removing 2 of the large disks.
I should have mentioned in my first post that this is the very first thing I
thought, and that I've already swapped the power supply with one I know can
handle the load (an Enermax 400W which has

I would first check the RAM with memtest86+

I'll give this a shot tonight when I get home. I believe that Ubuntu liveCDs
have a memtest boot option on them, if not I've got a Memtest disc somewhere.
I'll run
Ok, well I fired up Memtest and had a failure on the first run. I've run it
twice more and have yet to manage to get it through a full run. Memory problem
it is. :(
Sorry to bother everyone. Thanks for the help.

Hey folks,
I've been wanting to use Solaris for a while now, for a ZFS home storage server
and simply to get used to Solaris (I like to experiment). However, installing
b70 has really not worked out for me at all.
The hardware I'm using is pretty simple, but didn't seem to be supported under
The problems I'm experiencing are as follows:
ZFS creates the storage pool just fine, sees no errors on the drives, and
seems to work great...right up until I attempt to put data on the drives.
After only a few moments of transfer, things start to go wrong. The system
doesn't power off,

Also, SunVTS should be in /usr/sunvts and includes memory and disk
tests (plus others). This is the test suite we (Sun) use in manufacturing.
