for ESXi 5.5 (without 32GB RAM Limit) with vmware tools installed<br>
<br>
If you want to test the appliance (best on ESXi with an additional LSI SAS controller in pass-through mode, needs vt-d capable systems)<br>
<a href="http://napp-it.org/downloads/" target="_blank">http://napp-it.org/downloads/</a><br>
<br>
- download<br>
- unzip (7Zip)<br>
- upload to ESXi's local datastore (ESXi filebrowser)<br>
this can last some time<br>
<br>
- import to inventory with right-click on the .vmx file (ESXi filebrowser)<br>
- add storage controller to VM (via pass-through)</div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">- boot, login as root (no pw) and use ifconfig to get serverip<br>
- start and manage via browser <a href="http://serverip:81" target="_blank">http://serverip:81</a> <br>
<br>
It is a ready to use OmniOS ZFS storage appliance and includes<br>
- e1000 and vmxnet3 vnics (dhcp) with ESXi 5.5 tools preinstalled</div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">- working AFP, CIFS and iSCSI/FC </div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">
- napp-it Web-UI on latest stable OmniOS<br>
<br>
It is free to use (home and commercially).</div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">
With enough RAM it gives you a similar performance like a barebone install. </div></span></span>
