Ah, but Nexenta is open and has no vendor lock-in. That's what you probably
should have done is bank everything on Illumos and Nexenta. A winning
combination by all accounts.
But then again, you could have used Linux on any hardware as well.
I've been having the same problems, and it appears to be from a remote
monitoring app that calls zpool status and/or zfs list. I've also found
problems with PERC and I'm finally replacing the PERC cards with SAS5/E
controllers (which are much cheaper anyway). Every time I reboot, the PERC

That's precisely what I'm experiencing. System still responds to ping.
Anything that was already running in memory via network stays alive (cron
jobs continue to run) but remote access is impossible (ssh, vnc, even local
physical console...) And eventually the system will stop completely.

Hi Ed,
I have been using the Dell r710 for a while. You might try
disabling c-states, as the problem you saw is identical to one I
was seeing (disk i/o stops working, other things are ok). Since
disabling c-states, I haven't seen the problem again.
