[OpenIndiana-discuss] openindiana-discuss Digest, Vol 89, Issue 22

Thu Dec 28 15:04:30 UTC 2017

I have a Sun Ultra-40 with 2 dual-core AMD opteron's with 32gb of memory 
and a SAS controller. I also have a SunFire x4600 with 8 dual-core AMD 
opterons with 128gb of memory. Neither will run OpenIndiana Hipster with 
the FreeBSD loader, *BUT* will run Grub based Hipster, FreeBSD, TrueOS, 
Windows-7 and Linux. When I attempt to boot Hipster with the FreeBSD 
loader I get 8 lines of "WARNING illegal PCI OFFSET" (may be the exact 
wording) and the system hangs

> I'd like to suggest looking for a used HP Z400 on eBay.  They're Solaris certified.  I picked up 3 for $100 each with 6 GB of DRAM, quad core 2.9 GHz Xeon and 160 GB disk earlier this year.  I already had one I'd bought a few years ago.  I needed one, but got the others for spares. The build quality is excellent.  Runs Hipster 2017.10 just fine.

Performance on Windows is not quite adequate for running SDRuno with my SDRplay RSP2 (audio stutters) but otherwise is fine with 8 GB of DRAM.  I installed a 3 in 2 iStar trayless disk enclosure and am running three 2 TB disks (s0 = 100 GB, s1=rest) using a 3 way mirrored rpool in s0 and a RAIDZ1 pool in s1.    I mostly use the RSP2 for spectrum analysis, so not a big deal.  And I still have not tried to optimize performance.  Too much to do.
