Unfortunately, the Cisco AnyConnect client for Mac conflicts with Pow. And by "conflicts", I mean it causes a grey-screen-of-death kernel panic anytime you connect to the VPN and Pow is installed.

As an alternative, there is OpenConnect, a command-line client for Cisco's AnyConnect SSL VPN.

Here's how to get it set up on Mac OS X:

1. OpenConnect can be installed via homebrew:

    brew update
   

brew install openconnect

It's the top of the i7 model (purchased in mid 2011) and has a brand new motherboard, CPU and graphics card just installed from Apple along with a full diagnostics test with clean bill of health.

• It's been upgraded to 16GB of RAM.
• Upgraded to a top-of-the-line 512GB SSD installed
• Second 1TB hard drive installed along side the SSD.
• Dual graphics cards with the upgraded dedicated Radeon 6770 gaming / graphics design processor.
• The optional higher-resolution matte screen from Apple's built to order options.
• Fresh install of the latest OSX 10.11 (Beta) or OSX Yosemite.

pm-san NVMe iSCSI LUN attached to VM on the Haswell Pool

No VM-side tuning has taken place, MTU is still 1500, some more iSCSI tuning to be done.

67,300 read IOP/s on a VM on iSCSI

• (Disk -> LVM -> MDADM -> DRBD -> iSCSI target -> Network -> XenServer iSCSI Client -> VM)
• Per VM and scales to 1,000,000 IOP/s total
