SATA SSDs and SAS drives on the same expander is asking for trouble. I've got experiences with locked up expanders, requiring a hard power cycle of the enclosure.

If it's an option (as it seems to be here), I would always opt for a system without an expander. An expander is just another active component with its own potentially buggy firmware. Less firmware is essentially a riff on "less moving parts" from a reliability standpoint. Also, if you ever need to upgrade the firmware in the expander, that will likely be extremely difficult or even impossible. -- Joshua M.

[OmniOS-discuss] Direct SAS or Expander?
I am looking at a 16-bay SuperMicro chassis. There is the option of using a SAS HBA with 16 channels (e.g. Avago SAS 9300-16i) and no expander or a SAS HBA with 4 channels and an expander. Most drives would be SAS but I might want to fit a couple of SATA SSDs. Is there a strong technical reason (performance, reliability, uptime) to prefer one or the other with OmniOS and zfs? The main technical issue I am already aware of is that one should not put SATA devices behind an expander. I am leaning toward the 16 channels and no expander solution since it feels better from a failure-mode standpoint, because it lessens contention, and because it should allow use of SATA SSDs.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] LDAP external auth for CIFS service
In all honesty, the native Solaris LDAP client sucks. I would investigate installing an OpenLDAP client, or make the system an OpenLDAP slave to your 389 DS, and have the local client talk to the local OpenLDAP slave via loopback. That's how we were able to successfully set things up on our Thors so that they could talk to our OpenLDAP servers.

*raises hand* Here's another one interested in this matter. Researched the possibilities about two years ago myself, but eventually gave up; it didn't seem to be possible.
