    I was thinking about providing VMs for legacy apps written for Sparc systems and creating some playground for youth :) it's good to have some basic unix knowledge. I'll take a look on OpenIndiana.

    There are quite a few forks: http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/About+illumos

    Thanks. When I was looking last month all of the forks were either not released yet (non-stable versions) or not updated in years.

    That might be true. I guess some of them realized that their fork might be of interest now. The only one I had a look at is OmniOS, and they seem to be quite active with it.

    Just got an offer for Sun Fire 4810 8 x UltraSparc III 1,2 GHz, 32GB RAM + Sun StorEdge 6020 14 x 36GB 15k for 600USD what do you think?

    @gbshouse how much electricity does this thing burn?

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    @rds100 - a lot :) 1750W each (5250W total) but the cool thing is that the server can be extended up to 12CPUs and 96GB of RAM

    @gbshouse that's what i thought :) So coloing this is... not practical :)

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    @rds100 - some providers offer flat fee for 10A or even 16A, for this beast you need 2 * 16A and 30U in rack

  • Sorry to necro old thread, but with current state of illumos this seems interesting again.

    So any LEB provider doing SmartOS/OmniOS/OpenIndiana?

  • OpenIndiana works pretty well on KVM (Using OpenNebula with GoodHosting).

  • We have a few customers playing with these Solaris derivatives on blade servers.

    Yes, we've recently released a public beta that allows you to deploy SmartOS instances..
