I attempted to install OpenIndiana 151a on a Dell Poweredge 2650 server (2.8 xeon with 12gb ram, 5x 146SCSI, damn 3di controller). I put each disk into it’s own container on the controller and left the BIOS set to RAID.<\/p>\n
I was receiving the following errors when attempting to install:<\/p>\n
WARNING: Ignoring false simplex bit.

I figured it was a bad burn of the ISO – I verified the MD5 of the ISO I downloaded was correct, then I burned it again to CD (at 8X instead of 24X, just in case). Same issues persisted.<\/p>\n
Looks like I need to disable DMA on the IDE channel to get this to work.
\nedit the grub configuration and add this at the end of the Kernel:
\n-B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0,atapi-other-dma-enabled=0<\/code>

\nwget -O - www.napp-it.org\/amp | perl<\/code><\/p>\nNexentastor Community edition did not want to run reliably on this hardware. I know it’s only 32-bit, so that is probably part of the issue. EON was just a giant pita for me, so I dropped that. FreeNAS was easy to setup but lacked on the ZFS support I wanted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
