My server runs S10u5. All slices are UFS. I run a couple of sparse zones on a seperate slice mounted on /zones. When S10u6 comes out booting of ZFS will become possible. That is great news. However, will it be possible to have those zones I run now too? I always understood ZFS and root zones are difficult. I hope to be able to change all FS to ZFS, including the space for the sparse zones. Does somebody have more info...

Suppose that you have a SAN environment with a lot of LUNs. In the normal course of events this means that ''zpool import'' is very slow, because it has to probe all of the LUNs all of the time. In S10U6, the theoretical ''obvious'' way to get around this for your SAN filesystems seems to be to use a non-default cachefile (likely one cachefile per virtual fileserver, although you could go all the way to one cachefile per pool) and then copy this cachefile from the master host to all...

I''ve upgraded my system from ufs to zfs (root pool). By default, it creates a zvol for dump and swap. It''s a 4GB Ultra-45 and every late night/morning I run a job which takes around 2GB of memory. With a zvol swap, the system becomes unusable and the Sun Ray client often goes into "26B". So I removed the zvol swap and now I have a standard swap partition. The

...simple reboot. The set bootpath property in this file is getting changed after the machine boots up for the first time in the newly created BE resulting in kernel panic (gives error: cannot mount root path /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 7/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0:e) The Primary boot env is S10u3 and ABE is S10u6. I want to see at what point of time and which process is writing to the bootenv.rc file. How can I achieve it using dtrace? Thanks in advance. Regards, Nishchaya

Is it true that Solaris 10 u4 does not have any of the nice ZIL controls that exist in the various recent Open Solaris flavors? I would like to move my ZIL to solid state storage, but I fear I can''t do it until I have another update. Heck, I would be happy to just be able to turn the ZIL off to see how my NFS on ZFS performance is effected before spending the $''s. Anyone

Hi, I just found out that ZFS triggers a kernel-panic while switching a mounted volume into read-only mode: The system is attached to a Symmetrix, all zfs-io goes through Powerpath: I ran some io-intensive stuff on /tank/foo and switched the device into read-only mode at the same time (symrdf -g bar failover -establish). ZFS went ''bam'' and triggered a Panic: WARNING: /pci at

...'m not really happy about doing as a bug fix to a production server running a supported version of Sun OS. Once Upon a Time, Sun used to offer *patches* to paying customers for operating system bugs. I quote the latest ticket note in disgust: "I really don''t know what to tell you. S10u6 has many enhancements and improvments to zfs, but most can be gained though patchs with the exception of new features." I''m trying to escalate the ticket, but really, I''m angry. I''ve been a big champion of staying with Sun/Solaris over Linux and one of the reasons h...

I have been testing the performance of zfs vs. ufs using filebench. The setup is a v240, 4GB RAM, 2 at 1503MHz, 1 320GB _SAN_ attached LUN, and using a ZFS mirrored root disk. Our SAN is a top notch NVRAM based SAN. There are lots of discussions using ZFS with SAN based storage.. and it seems ZFS is designed to perform best with dumb disk (JBODs). The test I ran support this observation.. and

I have configured a test system with a mirrored rpool and one hot spare. I powered the systems off, pulled one of the disks from rpool to simulate a hardware failure. The hot spare is not activating automatically. Is there something more i should have done to make this work ? pool: rpool state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices could not be opened. Sufficient replicas exist for

Hi guys, we are proposing a customer a couple of X4500 (24 Tb) used as NAS (i.e. NFS server). Both server will contain the same files and should be accessed by different clients at the same time (i.e. they should be both active) So we need to guarantee that both x4500 contain the same files: We could simply copy the contents on both x4500 , which is an option because the "new

Gurus; I''ve been running Solaris 10 on a HVM domain on my machine (running SXCE snv_93 x86) for some time now.

We''re planning to build a ZFS-based Solaris NFS fileserver environment with the backend storage being iSCSI-based, in part because of the possibilities for failover. In exploring things in our test environment, I have noticed that ''zpool import'' takes a fairly long time; about 35 to 45 seconds per pool. A pool import time this slow obviously has implications for how fast

Hey folks, I guess this is an odd question to be asking here, but I could do with some feedback from anybody who''s actually using ZFS in anger. I''m about to go live with ZFS in our company on a new fileserver, but I have some real concerns about whether I can really trust ZFS to keep my data alive if things go wrong. This is a big step for us, we''re a 100% windows
