Hello,
We have an older system running oi_151a with several zones no problem
(machine went up around November 2011).
Installed a new zone with no issue, but when I boot it for the first
time it never brings up the the configuration wizard…never gets past
this:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/
Is anyone here going to the Chef Summit in Seattle next month? I'll be
going and thought it might be a good opportunity to hash out more IPS/Chef
integration.

That's pretty much our view. We've had issues with LSI, PMC and Marvell
expanders. Less so with the LSI and PMC but still not low enough to be
comfortable. Once nice
We've had a ton of issues with expanders causing resets. A side benefit, is
we get the full IO bandwidth available to each drive.

We use the LSI 9211-8i SAS/SATA controllers with the IT (direct attach)

Hi Guys,
I noticed that all of my Chef-maintained OpenIndiana servers hadn't
