    I'm looking to build an all-in-one OmniOS+nappit on VMWare ESXi
    with 2x 6234 Opterons on a SMCI-H8DGi-F with 2x LSI-SAS-9211-8i-SGL
    -- no SAS backplane. The hardware is 2x Intel SSDrive DC S3700
    for a mirrored slog and 4x Micron Crucial M500 960 GByte for
    a pool (mirrored stripe, or somesuch -- there's probably
    no point in a raidz1 or raidz2).

    Is that a sensible setup? Any problems?

    How many cores/memory would you give to the zfs VMWare
    guest? Would 4x and 8 GBytes RAM enough? Should I go for
    16 GBytes? (machine has 128 GBytes total, will be
    running Windows 2012 + Orkackle + cartridge).

    Thanks.
