I decided to upgrade my home storage server to opensolaris 2008.11 yesterday. I built it on nevada 60 and then 62 (zfs boot) almost two years ago and upgraded it to nevada 97 a few months ago.

I had installed 2008.11 in vmware at work, and was pretty impressed at the whole package. I had been playing with some of the new tech on my older versions (IPS, in-kernel cifs), and I figured now was the time to start over with the boot drive since 2008.11 seems like a pretty stable point.
