More on opensolaris root mirroring

I found this also.  Seemed good.

I guess quite a bit has happened since I last wrote.  I purchased enough hardware to just build a pure storage device and have a dedicated virtualization server as well.  So, I picked up an open box special at Newegg.  I got an MSI Neo3-F for $58, so not too bad.  I picked it up because it appeared it was mostly compatible with opensolaris.  It seemed that Intel ICH10 are decently compatible.  It also had 8 SATA ports and supports 16GB of ram and a gigabit built in nic.  Although I have only 4GB for this, I figured it’d be good to have for later.

So after an hour or so of swapping parts around here is what I have:

 

	Storage Server	Virtualization Server
CPU	Celeron 430	Core 2 Duo E6300
mobo	MSI P43 Neo4-F	Intel DP35DP
RAM	4GB	8GB
Disk	2x160GB SATA Mirrored OS 2x1TB SATA RaidZ	2 x 300GB
OS	Opensolaris 2008.11	Citrix Xenserver
