Yes, I am using this board for iSCSI servers now. I have a mirrored drive
for booting, and a set of 12 750G drives in a raidz2 for storing data. I am
actually boot off this using both HBAs, and gPXE. It used to have some...
oddities, but seems to be better now. I have made some effort to provide
feedback to developers both in SUN and to the community as a whole whenever
I encountered problems, so hopefully we have everything ironed out.
What I have in my production machines is:
1x Intel S3210SHLX
1x Intel Core2 Duo 2.66Ghz
2x Kingston 2G (1Gx2) DDR2-800 ECC Kit
2x SuperMicro AOC-SAT2-MV8
2x Seagate 80G SATA-3.0G drives (remember to remove the jumpers)
12x Seagate 750G SATA-3.0G drives (remember to remove the jumpers)
I am also using a pair of 6-port NICs, as the bandwidth for each host was
an issue. I would think this is overkill for a home server.
