At the Confirm Import screen, it doesn’t display any items and the bottom-right text reads 0 patches, 0 extensions, and 0 notifications. I have the right EMC zip file, not why the manual importation fails.

Hi Paul,

Great tip on cp’ing common-password-pc, but just a note, you still need to reset passwd by executing the command from the superuser account – e.g. sudo -s , passwd vi-admin.

Thanks for the tip!

Comment on Using NexentaStor ZFS storage appliance with vSphere by Chakravarthi PS

Excellent post… I recently started using Nexenta and see the benefit. My setup similar to above cited configuration but without cache drive.

Processor Intel Core2Duo
Memory 4 GB
SCSI Controller : LSI 8888ELP with 512 MB cache with BBU
HDD : WD5000AAKS (500 GB) x 4 (2 HW RAID0 (2 x 2) ) (Total two data volumes)
HDD : WD 80 GB for boot
NIC : Intel MT 1000 PCI NIC

I am using iSCSI amd created two VOLs on 1st RAID0.. If I am starting / shudown more than 3 VMs at a given time, the performance is not so good. I configured MTU 9000 on vSwitch, VMK and in Nexenta.

If I add a SSD as cache would it help me in performance improvement ?

iSCSI or NFS which is best option ?
