Hi Terri, A year and half ago we tried to implement Ibrix on FLX-380s and x4200''s and do qualification on the fly at the customer site. Due to a series of inopportune issues things did not go well. Last year we did some qualification of Ibrix on Thumpers, but it was done using Linux. For details talk to Art Licht. The software is *very expensive*, but I don''t know if they have a special pricing model for Thumpers. If you look at the current efforts the CFS is going through to port Lustre to Solaris+ZFS, I am not sure that Ibrix would be interested in porting to Solaris given that they are a small organization. If the customer is interested in a clustered filesystem and Solaris why don''t you propose Lustre? The complete port to Solaris (OSS+MDS) is supposed to be completed by the end of the calendar year and pricing model is much more palatable.

[Lustre-discuss] [Fwd: Is IBRIX supported under Solaris 10]
We have an Ibrix system and it only runs on RHEL. As a matter of fact, their client software only ran on RHEL until we twisted their arm for a SLES10 port (they refused to do 9). That only took about 6 months! Am I happy with Ibrix? What mailing list am I reading? Oh, treat any claims of their feature support with suspicion. Such as individual file replication.
