[OmniOS-discuss] preconfigured ZFS/OmniOS All-IN-ONE appliance for ESXi 5.5

[Guenther Alka]

Update:

I have stability problems when using e1000 on a default OmniOS VM under 
ESXi 5.5
It works either when using the VMXnet3 vnic or when adding the following 
lines to /kernel/drv/e1000g.conf (reboot required)

#tcp offload disable
tx_hcksum_enable=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;
lso_enable=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;

Maybe similar to this problem:

I uploaded a new appliance VM v 13b to adress this problem
