I was asked by a coworker about recovering destroyed datasets on ZFS - and whether it is possible at all? As a related question, if a filesystem dataset was recursively destroyed along with all its snapshots, is there some means to at least find some pointers whether it existed at all? I remember "zpool import -D" can be used to import whole destroyed pools. But crawling around the

I read Ben Rockwood''s blog post about Thumpers and SMART (http://cuddletech.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=993). Will the SUNWhd package only work on a Thumper? Can I use this on my snv_101 system with AMD 64 bit processor and nVidia SATA?

Hello all, As some of you might remember, there is a Sun Fire X4500 (Thumper) server that I was asked to help upgrade to modern disks. It is still in a testing phase, and the one UltraStar 3Tb currently available to the server''s owners is humming in the server, with one small partition on its tail which replaced a dead 250Gb disk earlier in to pool. The OS is still...

Hi there Is it fair to compare the 2 solutions using Solaris 10 U2 and a commercial database (SAP SD scenario). The cache on the HW raid helps, and the CPU load is less... but the solution costs more and you _might_ not need the performance of the HW RAID. Has anybody with access to these units done a benchmark comparing the performance (and with the pricelist in hand) came to a conclusion.

Currently I''m trying to figure out the best zfs layout for a thumper wrt. to read AND write performance. I did some simple mkfile 512G tests and found out, that per average ~ 500 MB/s seems to be the maximum on can reach (tried initial default setup, all 46 HDDs as R0, etc.). According to http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/Architectu...

Fairly new to ZFS. I am looking to replicate data between two thumper boxes. Found quite a few articles about using zfs incremental snapshot send/receive. Just a cheeky question to see if anyone has anything working in a live environment and are happy to share the scripts, save me reinventing the wheel. thanks in advance. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

...me tonight I was wondering whether I''m going to have to swallow my pride and order a hardware raid controller for this server, letting that deal with the drive issues, and just using ZFS as a very basic filesystem. What has me re-considering ZFS though is that on the other hand I know the Thumpers have sold well for Sun, and they pretty much have to use ZFS. So there''s a big installed base out there using it, and that base has been using it for a few years. I know from the Thumper manual that you have to unconfigure drives before removal on them on those servers, which goes a lon...

We are looking at adding to our storage. We would like ~20TB-30 TB. we have ~ 200 nodes (1100 cores) to feed data to using nfs, and we are looking for high reliability, good performance (up to at least 350 MBytes /second over 10 GigE connection) and large capacity. For the X45xx (aka thumper) capacity and performanance seem to be there (we have 3 now) However, for system upgrades , maintenance and failures, we have an availability problem. For the 7xxx in a cluster configuration, we seem to be able to solve the availability issue, and perhaps get performance benefits the SSD. however...

I have a huge problem with space maps on thumper. Space maps takes over 3GB and write operations generates massive read operations. Before every spa sync phase zfs reads space maps from disk. I decided to turn on compression for pool ( only for pool, not filesystems ) and it helps. Now space maps, intent log, spa history are compressed. Not I&...

Hi, Why do CDR second field, src field have a dest???? The real src field is 9500. Is a bug?? Example; "Q-aereos","1147938811","9500","outbound","1147938811","DAHDI/31-1","SIP/9500-0de0ea60","Dial","SIP/9500|60|t","2009-08-11 18:12:41","2009-08-11 18:12:45","2009-08-11

I have a raidz2 and did a scrub, it took 8h. Then I reconnected some drives to other SATA ports, and now it takes 15h to scrub?? Why is that? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

I''ve got a Thumper running snv_57 and a large ZFS pool. I recently noticed a drive throwing some read errors, so I did the right thing and zfs replaced it with a spare. Everything went well, but the resilvering process seems to be taking an eternity: # zpool status pool: bigpool state: ONLINE status: One or mor...

Let''s say you are paranoid and have built a pool with 40+ disks in a Thumper. Is there a way to set metadata copies=3 manually? After having built RAIDZ2 sets with 7-9 disks and then pooled these together, it just seems like a little bit of extra insurance to increase metadata copies. I don''t see a need for extra data copies which is currently the only trigger I...

I need some help please. I am currently using a compact flash as the boot drive (ZFS) on a thumper. I want to create a clone of it to a file and restore it to a new CF card on another thumper. Unfortunately, an exact make, model and size of the CF has a few less cylinders so a straight dd of the slice2 does not work. Now I have to navigate the intricacies of the trying to clone rpool etc, whic...

Hello list, What''s the current production-readiness of OI 151a? I''m evaluating Solaris 11 at the moment on HP server hardware + SAS JBODs. Also considering picking up a Thumper/Thor on the used market. For a ZFS storage server, is it a better idea to just stick w/ Oracle Solaris, or is OI also a good bet? How do the ZFS implementations differ between Solaris 11 and OI? Thanks in advance. -Anh
