`Hi all,<br><br> Next month, we need to deploy an omnios virtual machine to act as storage server under esxi 5.1. We can not use bare metal server, and I know that is a problem.<br><br> We are thinking in disable zil. Is it recommended when omnios is installed as a vm?? And we can not use pci passthrough esxi feature due to vmotion and HA features enabled in these esxi servers.<br>
<br> Any recommendations about how to configure this vm?<br><br> At first stage we can allocate 8 gb of ram and 4 vcpus. And wr need to manage 5 tb of data with snapshots and maybr compression in certain zfs volumes.<br><br>
Thanks
