Super!

I know of nobody in the Unidata community that has installed OpenIndiana.

Question:

- is the only reason to use this (apparently) Linux installation instead of
  something like RedHat Enterprise/CentOS the ZFS file system?

  If yes, has someone there investigated installing ZFS on a more commonly
  used Linux distro?

  I would be concerned to switch to using an OS that was not in common
  use in the overall Unidata community...

I will ask our system administrator to see if he knows anything about
OpenIndiana.

Cheers,

Tom
