Boot media is USB. Why is that a problem? Hasn't ever been in the past, and it's a supported config, right?
Hang on.....I got in finally and it said my version needed to be activated, randomly....
Been running fine for a few months now. Today, the speed (8x600GB Velociraptors) on a PE 2950 slowed to a crawl. Not DOA, just VERY slow over 10GB NICS.
Just tried to web in and I cannot get to...
So I've got a client that needs 2 VMware boxes. I'm considering proposing Vmware's VSA, or Open-E.
Is running DSS 7 as a VSA on 5.1 been tested / supported in an active / active config? I'll...
16 600GB 10k Velociraptors, raid 10.
Chelsio 10GBE for iSCSI
Is there any performance reason to make multiple LV's on the VG? I didn't think there would be over 10GbE.

And there is no software RAID 10, AFAIK?
So I have 4x2TB drives that I would like to setup software raid 0+1 or 10. That gives me 4TB. I am licensed for 4TB, however, I am getting an error that says total storage size exceeds licensed...
Was this ever resolved? I'm seeing the exact same thing on my DSS V6
This is the newest version, and I have no access either way, console or HTTPS.
So, my DSS is functioning ok, except I have no console, and no web interface. The console is live but no text. The web is live and responds to https, but gives me a blank white page. Support has...
I've got a new PERC controller and 4 drives. Created a RAID 10. In DSS, created VG001, and it's been formatting 2 days.
Seems wrong. Any ideas?
So still getting VERY poor read performance. Write performance is very good.
Does ANYONE have an idea, or do I go back to Openfiler? (I've now tried DSS 3 times, and have ended up back at OF...
Yup already done. Its the read/write disparity that has me confused....
Poweredge 2900 running 2xDC Xeon, 10GB RAM, 6x7200RPM 2TB Drives, Perc6 w/512MB cache, RAID 10.
Chelsio 10GBE adapters at both ends ESX 4.1.
Currently, reads are only 150MB /sec, writes are...
file i/o of course.
Yup those tuning options killed the iSCSI connection. set them all back and I was able to reconnect.

Aha well, my DSS can't pass enough data to saturate the link, even with non-jumbo frames.
The other issue is that I have a tap into the iSCSI vlan, and I'd rather not have to set jumbo frames if...
No Jumbo frames....I should still be able to push 300meg /sec without.
yes I did.
Testing it with Crystal Disk Mark. And right now just trying a sequential read. This is a VERY long journey starting with OF, and not getting 10GBE to run properly, now moving to a supported...
