Hardware
Small NAS only HomeServer (without the option of ESXi virtualization or Multi-OS all-in-one, avoid when possible)
Minimum
Mainboard with 2GB RAM see OI HCL
Bootdrive min 16GB (best SSD, avoid USB-Stick - too slow for an full featured Enterprise OS)
one or more data drives. i suggest at least 2 drives to build a mirror
ready to use
Hp Proliant N36/N40/N54 Micro Server
4 HD Bays + 5,25" Slot for DVD oder 4 x 2,5" drives
max 8G ECC Ram
pci-e x16 und x1 slots
-MINUS of MicroServer
Hardware Virtualisation, pci-passthrough (needed for multi OS - All-In-One homeserver) not available/possible
My Suggestion: use server-class-hardware (prepared for Multi OS/ all-in-one with integrated NAS/SAN)
add the premium for Multi-OS/virtualization and KVM remote management support
Mainboard with vti-d support
CPU with vtd-d support (best Xeon)
vgl/ see: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo
- Min 4 GB ecc-ram - board should support > = 16GB (you should prefer ECC memory in any server)
- known to work with Solaris and ESXi
Low-Power or SOHO Server (my best to use suggestion)
SuperMicro Boards Serie X9...-F with 202, 3420 or 5520 Server Chipset (about 150-190 Euro in Germany)
They are best not only for Solaris but also for virtualisation with ESXi and vt-d (multi OS all-in-one), support max 32 GB ECC,
and have 6 x Sata and 3-4 fast pci-e slots for expansions like HBA Adapter or 10 GBe Nics.
best is SuperMicro X9SCL+ -F due to its two Intel Nics, both supported under ESXi and KVM remote management onboard.
add 4-16 GB ECC RAM according to performance needs,
add a Xeon like the 2C/4T Model 1220L with 20 Watt (v.2=17 watt) max Power consumption under full load (180 Euro)
* You need Bios version 2.0 or above to support v2 Xeons, use v2 when available
For all-in-one and heavy VM-use: use a 4 Cores Xeon e3-1220/1230 V2 (69 Watt max power consumption).
Otherwise more RAM is mostly better than a faster CPU,
about new v.2 Xeons (look for those without integrated graphics for above boards):
http://www.cpu-world.com/news 2012/2012020701 Prices of Xeon E3-1200 v2 CPUs.html
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/intel-launches-new-ivy-bridge-xeons-targets-microservers/
High-end/ dual Xeon option for Enterprise use
SuperMicro X8DT6-F (max 192 GB RAM, LSI SAS2 2008 onboard, use IT firmware for SAS2)
Supermicro X8DTH-6F (max 192 GB RAM, LSI SAS2 2008 onboard, use IT firmware for SAS2)
Boot-Mirror
use a mirrored identical ZFS boot-disk-mirror whenever possible - set the second disk as second boot option in mainboard Bios
(napp-it menu disk - mirror rpool)
SAS/Sata Controller
Best are LSI 2008 HBA controller in IT-mode (non-raid, 2TB+, use with expander)
http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/HBAs.aspx
- LSI 9211-8i (or other LSI HBA with LSI 2008 chipsatz and IT mode)
- SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8e (cheap, wrong side mounted, needs bracket modifications)
- IBM 1015 (cheap used ones from Ebay, flash to IT mode and it is fully supported)
Cheap Sata controller needed for ESXi boot and All-in-one at home with ESXi5
You can use a PCI Sata Controller with SIL 3512 chipset, boot ESXi from it and pass-through onboard Sata
http://www.digitus.info/linux/produkte/zubehoer/interface-karten/pc-interface-karten/sata-ide/sata-150-raid-pci-karte-2-port-ds-33101/
Expander (24 or 36 Port)
Use the newer LSI SAS2 based ones like
Intel RES2SV240 (24 port- 20 disks) or similar from Chenbro like CK23601 (36 port)
Mostly it is faster, often cheaper and more trouble free to use enough HBA controllers and avoid expanders
there are some problems reported with Expanders and Sata disks.
If possible, use SAS disks or avoid Expanders and use several SAS 8Port or 16 Port HBA Controller
Network
Use Intel 1 GB or better 10 GB Nics (It is time to switch to 10GBe)
Entry level, look at:
Intel X540-T1 (10 GBe Nic TP, about 300 Euro)
Netgear XS 708E ( http://www.netgear.com/landing/10gigabit/ , about 700 Euro )
Chassis
My current storage chassis
3,5" 3 U Chassis, 16 x 3,5"
SuperMicro SC836A-R1200B
2,5" 2U Chassis 16 x 2,5" SAS/Sata + 2 x 5,25 Bays
SuperMicro SC213A-R900LPB
2,5 " 2 U Chassis: 24 x 2,5" SAS/Sata with included LSI SAS2 Expander
SuperMicro SC216E26-R1200LPB
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/chassis/2U/216/SC216E26-R1200LP.cfm
use a LSI SAS2 HBA like LSI 9211i, connect one SAS cable to the included expander
and one to an external bracket for expansion/ second expander (SuperMicro CBL-0167L, CBL-0168L)
Best are 19" Hotplug cases, either the professional ones from SuperMicro or Chenbro
or the cheaper ones from Norco like the RPC -4224 with 24 Hotplug bays and SFF-8087 mini SAS connectors.
Large and cheap single case storage servers without Expanders
(up to about 160TB with 4 TB disks and 3 x LSI SAS 9201-16i HBA)
36 slot case http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4u/847/sc847a-r1400lp.cfm
50 slot case http://usa.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_cat.php?pos=24
In general
Solaris works with a lot of mainbaords, Most problems are with some nics (Realtek) and disk controller.
