Just remember that only WRITE_SAME and UNMAP are on stock illumos. If you want the other two, you either get NexentaStor or you start an effort to upstream them from illumos-nexenta. Dan ___ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Potential KVM Virtio Performance Issues

So I was still having issues with virtio performance. I’ve finally determined that its the child zone that is capping the throughput at 85mbps. If I halt the zone and launch the same VM from the GZ I get 955mbps. Another thing…the virtio driver in Centos6.6 does not work well with OmniOS kvm.

I would concur with what Chip said. We’ve had good luck with the Intel X520s setup with LACP to a Nexus 5000 – and also have a few X540s. The X520s are a bit picky about SFPs but Appoved makes one that works and is reasonably affordable. From: OmniOS-discuss [mailto:omnios-discuss-boun...@lis

The Intel X520's and the Supermicro equivalents are rock solid. The X540 probably is too, I just haven't used it. I prefer the Supermicro branded Intel cards because the firmware is not as picky about the twin-ax cables used. -Chip On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 11:24 AM, Doug Hughes wrote: > any
