Hello, I was doing performance testing, validating zvol performance in particularly, and found that zvol write performance to be slow ~35-44MB/s at 1MB blocksize writes. I then tested the underlying zfs file system with the same test and got 121MB/s. Is there any way to fix this? I really would like to have compatible performance between the zfs filesystem and the zfs zvols. # first test is a

Hi, I have a zfs volume that''s exported via iscsi for my wife''s Mac to use for Time Machine. I''ve just built a new machine to house my "big" pool, and installed build 129 on it. I''d like to start using COMSTAR for exporting the iscsi targets, rather than the older iscsi infrastructure. I''ve seen quite a few tutorials on how to use

...and the NFS clients are quite happy. The iSCSI initiators are not. The windows initiator is running the Microsoft iSCSI initiator v2.0.6 on Windows 2003 SP2 x64 Enterprise Edition. When the system reboots, it is not able to connect to its iscsi targets. No devices are found until I restart the iscsitgt process on the x4500, at which point the initiator will reconnect and find everything. I notice that on the x4500, it maintains an active TCP connection (according to netstat -an | grep 3260) to the Windows box through the reboot and for a long time afterwards. The initiator starts a second conne...

I''m posting here as this seems to be a zfs issue. We also have an open ticket with Sun support and I''ve heard another large sun customer also is reporting this as an issue. Basic Problem: Create a zfs file system and set shareiscsi to on. On a vmware esx server discover that iscsi target. It shows up as 249 luns. When attempting to then add the storage esx server eventually

Does opensolaris iSCSI target support SCSI-3 PGR reservation ? My goal is to use the iSCSI LUN created by [1] or [2] as a quorum device for a 3-node suncluster. [1] zfs set shareiscsi=on <storage-pool/zfs volume name> [2] iscsitadm create target ..... Thanks, -- leon This message posted from opensolaris.org

I am sharing out ZFS ISCSI luns to my Mac. When copying large files, the network will hang in the middle of the transfer and the LUN will become unavailable until I plumb the NIC. This issue appears to only occur only when I am reading files (ie..syncing an ipod) and not writing (I''m not 100% sure though). When I snoop the interface I notice a bunch of ARP lookups. Any ideas? Thanks in

I''m not sure if this is a problem with the iscsitarget or zfs. I''d greatly appreciate it if it gets moved to the proper list. Well I''m just about out of ideas on what might be wrong.. Quick history: I installed OS 2008.05 when it was SNV_86 to try out ZFS with VMWare. Found out that multilun''s were being treated as multipaths so waited till SNV_94 came out to

I have set up an iSCSI ZFS target that seems to connect properly from the Microsoft Windows initiator in that I can see the volume in MMC Disk Management. When I shift over to Mac OS X Tiger with globalSAN iSCSI, I am able to set up the Targets with the target name shown by `iscsitadm list target` and when I actually connect or "Log On" I see that one connection exists on the Solaris

Hello SUN gurus I do not know if this is supported, I have a created a zpool consisting of the SAN resources and created a zfs file system. Using third part software I have taken snapshots of all luns in the zfs pool. My question is in a recovery situation is there a way for me to mount the snapshots and import the pool while the original is still active. Right now all I am able to do is export

I have a Dell R710 which has been flaky for some time. It crashes about once per week. I have literally replaced every piece of hardware in it, and reinstalled Sol 10u9 fresh and clean. I am wondering if other people out there are using Dell hardware, with what degree of success, and in what configuration? The failure seems to be related to the perc 6i. For some period around the time

Rick McNeal and I have been working on building support for sharing ZVOLs as iSCSI targets directly into ZFS. Below is the proposal I''ll be submitting to PSARC. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Adam ---8<--- iSCSI/ZFS Integration A. Overview The goal of this project is to couple ZFS with the iSCSI target in Solaris specifically to make it as easy to create and export ZVOLs
