Hello all, This is not so much a question but rather a "how-to" for posterity. Comments and possible fixes are welcome, though. I''m toying (for work) with a Solaris 10 VM, and it has a dedicated virtual HDD for data and zones. The template VM had a 20Gb disk, but a particular application needs more. I hoped ZFS autoexpand would do the trick transparently, but it turned out

Hi, I had a plan to set up a zfs pool with different raid levels but I ran into an issue based on some testing I''ve done in a VM. I have 3x 750 GB hard drives and 2x 320 GB hard drives available, and I want to set up a RAIDZ for the 750 GB and mirror for the 320 GB and add it all to the same pool. I tested detaching a drive and it seems to seriously mess up the entire pool and I

Hallo, after I got same error messages because of missing Kerberos, I deinstalled heimdal and installed Kerberos 5 (_devel, _libs, _workstation). I also made the necessary changes in the /etc/krb5.conf file and tested the connection with the Active Directory with the kinit ...@.... I also synchronized the time and so I get the tickets. Now I wanted to install Samba 3.0.0 on SuSE 8.2 and there the

I intended to add a disk as a hot spare to a zpool but inadvertently added as an equal partner of the entire pool. i.e. zpool add ataarchive c1t1d0 instead of zpool add ataarchive spare c1t1d0 This is a zpool on an X4500 with 4 raidz2''s configured. From my reading of previous threads, the ZFS FAQ and the wikipedia entry, it looks as though the only way I can remove the disk now is to

Hi, Experts: A customer has X4500 and the boot drives mirrored (c5t0d0s0 and c5t4d0s0) by SVM, The ZFS uses the two other partitions on these two drives(c5t0d0s3 and c5t4d0s3). If we need to replace the disk drive c5t0d0, do we need to do anything on the ZFS (c5t0d0s3 and c5t4d0s3) first or just follow the regular boot drive replacement procedure? Below is the summary of their current ZFS

First off, let me state that I am not a C programmer at all. I am a programmer in other languages, so I understand the basic configure/make/make install procedure for most GNU packages, and have done it lots of times. I downloaded the GNU iconv libraries, compiled them and used --prefix=/usr/local/special to keep from replacing the standard AIX libraries. Then I downloaded the 3.0.2a source and

Hi all, I wanted to upgrade from samba 3.0.4 to 3.0.7 and installed Samba 3.0.7 in a seperate directory . OS is Solaris 8 on Sun-Sparc.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. I am trying to move the root volume from an existing svm mirror to a zfs root. The machine is a Sun V880 (SPARC) running nv_96, with OBP version 4.22.34 which is AFAICT the latest. The svm mirror was constructed as follows / d4 m 18GB d14 d14 s 35GB c1t0d0s0 d24 s 35GB c1t1d0s0 swap d3

Pre-fletching on the file and device level has been disabled yielding good results so far. We''ve lowered the number of concurrent ios from 35 to 1 causing the service times to go even lower (1 -> 8ms) but inflating actv (.4 -> 2ms). I''ve followed your recommendation in setting primarycache to metadata. I''ll have to check with our tester in the morning if it made

G''day, all, So, I''ve decided to migrate my home server from Linux+swRAID+LVM to Solaris+ZFS, because it seems to hold much better promise for data integrity, which is my primary concern. However, naturally, I decided to do some benchmarks in the process, and I don''t understand why the results are what they are. I though I had a reasonable understanding of ZFS, but now

New server build with Solaris-10 u5/08, on a SunFire t5220, and this is our first rollout of ZFS and Zpools. Have 8 disks, boot disk is hardware mirrored (c1t0d0 + c1t1d0) Created Zpool my_pool as RaidZ using 5 disks + 1 spare: c1t2d0, c1t3d0, c1t4d0, c1t5d0, c1t6d0, and spare c1t7d0 I am working on alerting & recovery plans for disks failures in the zpool. As a test, I have pulled disk

I''m running into a issue where there seems to be a high number of read iops hitting disks and physical free memory is fluctuating between 200MB -> 450MB out of 16GB total. We have the l2arc configured on a 32GB Intel X25-E ssd and slog on another32GB X25-E ssd. According to our tester, Oracle writes are extremely slow (high latency). Below is a snippet of iostat: r/s w/s

Hi, One of my colleagues was confused by the output of ''zpool status'' on a pool where a hot spare is being resilvered in after a drive failure: $ zpool status data pool: data state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices is currently being resilvered. The pool will continue to function, possibly in a degraded state. action: Wait for the resilver to complete. scrub:

Hi all, Sorry for the newbie question, but I''ve looked at the docs and haven''t been able to find an answer for this. I''m working with a system where the pool has already been configured and want to determine what the configuration is. I had thought that''d be with zpool status -v <poolname>, but it doesn''t seem to agree with the
