similar to: ZFS and VXVM/VXFS

Hello experts, We have a large implementation of Symantec Netbackup 6.0 with disk staging. Today, the customer is using VxFS as file system inside Netbackup 6.0 DSSU (disk staging). The customer would like to know if it is best to use ZFS or VxFS as file system inside Netbackup disk staging in order to get the best performance possible. Could you provide some information regarding this

We have some HDS storage that isn''t supported by mpxio, so we have to use veritas dmp to get multipathing. Whats the recommended way to use DMP storage with ZFS. I want to use DMP but get at the multipathed virtual luns at as low a level as possible to avoid using vxvm as much as possible. I figure theres no point in having overhead from 2 volume manages if we can avoid it. Has anyone

Hello experts, My client is thinking about changing one of their servers running Solaris 8 (NIS Hub to mention something) to a server running Solaris 10. The question that i have given is to check the differences or if you wish the status/stability of changing VXvm with DMP (Dynamic Multi Pathing) to a system with ZFS and MPXio. I have made my share of RTFM but not come any closer to an answer.

Is it possible to use DTrace to display the number of arguments and their types for userland or kernel functions that are not explicitly instrumented or documented by their authors? We''re talking about functions provided by Veritas VxVM/VxFS and the like, and for example, we might want to try tracing I/Os from App => VxFS => VxVM => ssd driver to see where I/Os get aggregated or

Hi Folks.. We have started to convert our Veritas clustered systems over to ZFS root to take advantage of the extreme simplification of using Live Upgrade. Moving the data of these systems off VxVM and VxFS is not in scope for reasons to numerous to go into.. One thing my customers noticed immediately was a reduction in "free" memory as reported by ''top''. By way

Hi, I have two questions: 1) Is there any way of renaming zpool without export/import ?? 2) If I took hardware snapshot of devices under a zpool ( where the snapshot device will be exact copy including metadata i.e zpool and associated file systems) is there any way to rename zpool name of snapshotted devices ?? without losing data part? Thanks & Regards, sridhar. -- This message posted

Hi. If I create a zpool with the following command: zpool create tank raidz2 da0 da1 da2 da3 da4 da5 da6 da7 and after a reboot the device names for some reason are changed so da2 and da5 are swapped, either by altering the LUN setting on the storage or by switching cables/swapping disks etc.? How will zfs handle that? Will it simply acknowledge that all devices are present and the pool is

Hi, sorry if I am brining up old news, but I couldn''t find a good answer searching the previous posts (My mom always says I am bad with finding things :) However I noticed a difference when creating a zfs filesystem compared with a vxfs filesystem in the available size. ie. ZFS zonedata/zfs [b]392G[/b] 120G 272G 31% /zfs VxFS /dev/vx/dsk/zonedg/zonevol

Has anyone had any experience with samba on a Solaris 2.6 system using vxfs file system?

Hello Gurus, Greetings. I have been assigned some work on the development of a migration tool. The requirement is that it has to migrate the data on a UFS/VxFs filesystem to an ext2 filesystem. What are the technical apects I will have to look into to achieve the same? Is it possible to change the on-disk structure of the UFS/VxFs filesystem to an ext2 filesystem? The question may

Sometime back it was mentioned in a presentation we had that there might be a tool to convert an existing VxFS file system to ZFS without the need to do a lot of manual copying of files, or downtime for an application, etc. Does anyone know whether this is correct and whether it will be available when ZFS is incorporated into a GA''d Solaris 10 update???

Hi. I''d like to request a feature be added to zfs. Currently, on SAN attached disk, zpool shows up with a big WWN for the disk. If ZFS (or the zpool command, in particular) had a text field for arbitrary information, it would be possible to add something that would indicate what LUN on what array the disk in question might be. This would make troubleshooting and general

Hello list, I am using Samba with ADS authentication. I am able to map drives and open and close files with no issues with the exception of Microsoft Outlook email files. So from within Outlook, I open one of these email files and I get an access denied error. Even if i put 777 permission on the files in question I get the same error. I am using LDAP as a user and group store if that means
