    Setup your appliance with all these services and tools

    • Step 1: Install NexentaCore, OpenIndiana or Solaris Express 11 (from Boot-CD on real Hardware or virtualized on a
      vti-d capable esxi Virtual Server to passthrough SAS-controllers and disks to NexentaCore to have full ZFS disk-control)
    • Step 2: Login as root (or adminin and su) and enter:
      wget -O - www.napp-it.org/nappit | perl
    • Step 3: Its like a well known ad: - there is no step 3 -Your NAS is ready

    Installer will first do a snapshot of your system.
    On problems, you could boot from this snapshot.
