Comment on Virtual Dedupe Requires Workaround: OpenSolaris build 128a Kernel Panics on Boot in VMWare by wolf

Nexentastor has definitely caught my attention. It is something we may try at work after a very disappointing experience with OpenFiler. For home I don’t mind jumping some hurdles. I also am already over the 4gb limit.

Hey man, take a look at nexentastor, i tested it and i was very excited how easy it is to setup. Unfortunately it does not yet offer the dedup support, but it will in the near future.
In my opinion it comes very handy if you do not want to have much todo with the cli. There is a 4TB Developer Edition which is available for free.

Sorry I don’t have a kill-a-watt to measure power consumption. You may be interested in this article to change the configuration of ESX to lower power usage: http://www.techhead.co.uk/saving-power-with-vmware-vsphere-esx-dynamic-voltage-and-frequency-scaling-dvfs

The processor I used shows up with Enhanced speedstep so this setting should work.

Did you get a chance to measure the power consumption? Looking to buy a similar setup but curious about how much watts it will use.

Hi,

Looking at building a similar setup. Still deciding between the Intel S3420GPLC and the MB you chose. Is it possible for you to look at the energy consumption of the whole system?

How does one move to SXCE from OpenSolaris? Sorry for the dumb question?

@Alan Hi Alan, Perhaps you ran into the same issue I just did. See my latest post.

Comment on VMWare Lab Manager trial and ESXi 4.0 free by wolf

@Martin Klaus Hi Martin, I am using LM 4. After more discussion with my VMWare contact, we figured out that the reason it was not working was due to the fact my ESXi server was past the original evaluation. I have updated my original post to clarify this information.

Please try the recently released version of VMware vCenter Lab Manager 4.0. Lab Manager 4 supports both ESX and ESXi editions of VMware vSphere.

@Justin Thomas Thanks Justin! I have installed and have been using svn_115 for a while now. Rock solid for me as well.
