[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI on HP Gen 10 Microserver

[rmd]

Hi Russell,

two of my home HP Gen10 are running on OI, one for the homes the
other one for videos, audio files and the like. Had them running on
FreeBSD for a while but switched to OI 3 years ago. All have max 
ram installed, e.g. 16G and have the low power CPU. I had bad 
experiences with running them on USB sticks or micro SD cards the 
time they had FreeBSD running.
And since only two HDU slots are 6GByte transfer and the other 2
are only 3GB, I put the internal HDUs on an extra pcia SAS-controler.
The internal/onboard SAS-ports are used for boot and ZIL (both SSD)

I had no negative issues with the boxes running OI. Other then with 
FreeBSD. Under FreeBSD they eventually crashed (USB-Stick so)
and lost the info of where to boot from.
Now on OI, only from time to time, the one that boots off a SSD from 
a company named Force, hangs with the SSD beeing inaccessible. 
The one booting off a Crucial SSD runs w/o problems so I assume
it is more an issue with the SSD than the OS.

regs, Rolf
