Actually, automatic failover will not be necessary, it is after all only
a mail server in an environment with fairly resilient users.
They'd be quite happy to have to call a sysadm up for manual failover.
I think in an almost unsupported OS like OI is today, one shouldn't rely
on anything but t
The ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution paired-with a Xeon-class "Server" processor.
It's a bit of an older chipset; but, it supports 24GB of RAM.

It does support ECC memory, though with the following caveats:**
6 x DIMM,
You need to have EPT, certainly.
Joshua and I did some work to make shadow paging work again on the
AMD, and got to the point where it did for he and I, but seemingly not
for anyone else :\ It'd be a good place to start for anyone wanting
to remove the EPT requirement though.

Back in October when I was trying to get this working it was suspected that
issue with the T7700 was the lack of ept and vpid. Possibly lack of vt-d too.
Given all the variations I think it would be more reliable and a better
community experience to report known working CPUs than pointing to li
I believe you need more than just VT-x. I have a T7700 that the link Gary
pointed to (http://ark.intel.com/VTList.aspx) says has VT-x. However that
processor doesn't work for OI with KVM, at least not when it's in a Thinkpad
T61p. It would sorta try to work, but any guest OS other than OI wouldn

Btw, not only does the CPU needs VT support, but you must be able to enable it

Your last line of vmstat shows a high number of context switches and interrupts
.
Most of the time is accounted for in the idle time column.
mpstat output would probably be more useful, perhaps you have lock contention.

I had been trying to work out some kind of HA using iscsi LUNS + ZFS mirror on

You would want the master to not share out it's LUN; and the other node to
check if there is a system at the 'master' address before

And can that motherboard be expected to work OK with OI151a?

Hi Harry,
I'd stick with VirtualBox if you're not looking to do anything
serious. For example, say you just want to run Windows on your OI
desktop. Especially if you're using the VirtualBox GUI. One issue that
VirtualBox has is that it doesn't respect disk synchronization.
Cheers,

Hi,
I noticed that the memory consumption of an OpenIndiana text-only plus some
self-built daemons (apache,postfix,cyrus,postgres.) is a lot more than a

While the second can run inside VirtualBox with just 1GB of RAM, the first one
needs at least 1.5-1
