I have uploaded a new version of my online-installer + free web-gui for 
NexentaCore,
OpenIndiana and Solaris Express 11

changelog:
* speed improvements with menu folder when you have a lot of ZFS or snaps
* highspeed replication (via mbuffer + zfs send/receive) between hosts or ZFS 
is nearly feature complete
* replication will create and keep hosts or ZFS in sync with exact copies - 
with all ACL, snaps or iSCSI - volumes based on snapshots (no open-file problem)
* this is the fastest transfer method at all, but its not encrypted, use it on 
SAN, Intranets or management networks only

* replication is not yet completely ready or bugfree, only tested on 
NexentaCore, but from this version you may test it


How to:
* Build a group of your server with menue group
* Create a replication job. You can select source host, source ZFS and target 
ZFS on localhost (pull only)
* All source share-properties are removed from target, but you can smb-reshare 
with or without guest-access
* Target ZFS is set to read-only
* The second host (sender) is remotely managed by this job, You can monitor 
ZFS, snaps and running processes on remote hosts.

After initial-sync all further syncs are incremental, so you could keep two 
server in sync with all snaps and <br>
iscsi-volumes in a 15 min interval. You could cancel jobs and when you delete 
them, all involver snaps are deleted.

If you like it, try it and report problems.

You may try the new menues with my testinstallation at 
http://www.napp-it.org/pop_en.html but you cannot run the jobs there, because 
the try-it version is running on different ports.


Installation like usual:
Install NexentaCore, OpenIndiana or Solaris Express 11 from boot-iso

Configure your NAS and install or upgrade napp-it web-gui:
Login at console as root (or user and su to get root permissions) and enter
wget -O - www.napp-it.org | perl
