Is it possible to modify the GUID associated with a ZFS volume imported into STMF? To clarify- I have a ZFS volume I have imported into STMF and export via iscsi. I have a number of snapshots of this volume. I need to temporarily go back to an older snapshot without removing all the more recent ones. I can delete the current sbd LU, clone the snapshot I want to test, and then bring that back in

-bash-3.2# zpool export exchbk cannot remove device links for ''exchbk/exchbk-2'': dataset is busy this is a zvol used for a comstar iscsi backend: -bash-3.2# stmfadm list-lu -v LU Name: 600144F0EAC0090000004A0A4F410001 Operational Status: Offline Provider Name : sbd Alias : /dev/zvol/rdsk/exchbk/exchbk-1 View Entry Count : 1 LU Name:

sbdadm can be used with a regular ZFS file or a ZFS block device. Is there an advatage to using a ZFS block device and exporting it to comstar via sbdadm as opposed to using a file and exporting it? (e.g. performance or manageability?) Also- let''s say you have a 5G block device called pool/test You can resize it by doing: zfs set volsize=10G pool/test However if the device was already

I apologize if this has been covered before. I have not seen a blow-by-blow installation guide for Ubuntu onto an iSCSI target. The install guides I have seen assume that you can make a target visible to all, which is a problem if you want multiple iSCSI installations on the same COMSTAR target. During install Ubuntu generates three random initiators and you have to deal with them to get things

I frist create lun by "stmfadm create-lu ", and add-view , so the initiator can see the created lun. Now I use "zfs snapshot" to create snapshot for the created lun. What can I do to make the snapshot is accessed by the Initiator? Thanks. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi - I''m trying to create an iscsi targe and go thru the motions of making the following LUN''s available - I am not able to run the command: itadm create-target as I get the following error: bash: itadm: command not found I need to get the following dirve seen by vmware 0. c7t0d0 <Areca-ARC-1260-VOL#00-R001-279.40GB> /pci at 0,0/pci8086,29f1 at 1/pci8086,370 at

I have a filer running Opensolaris (snv_111b) and I am presenting a iSCSI share from a RAIDZ pool. I want to run ZFS on the share at the client. Is it necessary to create a mirror or use ditto blocks at the client to ensure ZFS can recover if it detects a failure at the client? Thanks, Bruin

So, I hear, in a couple weeks'' time, opensolaris.org is shutting down. What does that mean for this mailing list? Should we all be moving over to something at illumos or something? I''m going to encourage somebody in an official capacity at opensolaris to respond... I''m going to discourage unofficial responses, like, illumos enthusiasts etc simply trying to get people

Morning all... I have a Dedicated server in a data center in Germany, and it has 2 3TB drives, but only software RAID. I have got them to install VMWare ESXi and so far everything is going ok... I have the 2 drives as standard data stores... But i am paranoid... So, i installed Nexenta as a VM, gave it a small disk to boot off and 2 1Tb disks on separate physical drives... I have created a

I have a machine with opensolaris snv111b .I want to let it use to a fc-san initiator NAS header in my total system. Now I configure FC HBA port from qlt to qlc mode as initiator wich command update_drv . I can use stmfadm list-target -v to find the FC-SAN target is conneted Target: wwn.2100001B328A3224 Operational Status: Online Provider Name : qlt Alias : qlt2,0

Hi, I could not find any option to set iSCSI initiator iqn while using guestfish, although the underlying qemu command has this option. It appears that each time guestfish tries to connect to iSCSI LUN, a randomly generated initiator iqn is being used. This is preventing guestfish to connect to the iSCSI target in our environment as the target allows incoming connection based on the preconfigured

This might be a stupid question, but here goes... Would adding, say, 4 4 or 8gb usb keys as a zil make enough of a difference for writes on an iscsi shared vol? I am finding reads are not too bad (40is mb/s over gige on 2 500gb drives stripped) but writes top out at about 10 and drop a lot lower... If I where to add a couple usb keys for zil, would it make a difference? Thanks. Sent from a

Good morning. I am in the process of planning a system which will have 2 ZFS servers, one on site, one off site. The on site server will be used by workstations and servers in house, and most of that will stay in house. There will, however, be data i want backed up somewhere else, which is where the offsite server comes in... This server will be sitting in a Data Center and will have some storage

Hi folks, (Long time no post...) Only starting to get into this one, so apologies if I''m light on detail, but... I have a shiny SSD I''m using to help make some VirtualBox stuff I''m doing go fast. I have a 240GB Intel 520 series jobbie. Nice. I chopped into a few slices - p0 (partition table), p1 128GB, p2 60gb. As part of my work, I have used it both as a RAW

In my new oracle server, sol11exp, it''s using multipath device names... Presently I have two disks attached: (I removed the other 10 disks for now, because these device names are so confusing.

Hi all, After finding multiples answers to this question via google, but without making it work on my servers. Has anybody iSCSI Offload working on a Dell Server with Broadcom NICs ? My environment: I'm running CentOS 5.6 CR, on a Dell PowerEdge R710 with Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 conecting to an EMC CX4-120 SAN, via 2x Cisco 2960G-24TC-L switches. It's working

Hello, Im new to this discussion lists so i hope im posting in the right place. I started using zfs not too long ago. Im trying to figure out the ISCSI and NFS sharing for the moment. For the ISCSI sharing at the moment im using COMSTAR. A created the appropriate target, also a LU corespondent to the zvol with sbdadm, then created a view attached to this. Im wondering is there a way to actually

Dear ZFS-Users, I want to switch to ZFS, but still want to encrypt my data. Native Encryption for ZFS was added in "ZFS Pool Version Number 30<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#Release_history>", but I''m using ZFS on FreeBSD with Version 28. My question is how would encfs (fuse encryption) affect zfs specific features like data Integrity and deduplication? Regards
