I'm getting ready to try using Hipster as a VM host using VirtualBox. I've read through the wiki page which makes me a bit nervous.
In particular, I need to use various USB devices with software which only runs under Windows (e.g.an SDRplay RSP2). I abandoned an attempt to use VBox with Solaris 10 u8 several years ago because of poor USB support. Does this seem likely to work? If not, will a Linux distro and ZFS work as a host? If so which one? The sine qua non of this is having double parity RAID for the host OS file system. If I have to use Win 7 for the host, then I need HW RAID as I know of no SW RAID for Win 7 other than simple mirrors. In the end I'd like to have OI/Illumos for web access and general work with Windows and Linux available to run software which won't run on Solaris (e.g. Octave and binary only WindowsWare). ------------------------------------------ illumos-discuss Archives: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/discussions/Ta7a7a6975664694b-M36547f765d0d62597c3b07f4 Powered by Topicbox: https://topicbox.com
