similar to: On disk SMI & EFI label documentation

For Solaris 10 5/09... There are supposed to be performance improvements if you create a zpool on a full disk, such as one with an EFI label. Does the same apply if the full disk is used with an SMI label, which is required to boot? I am trying to determine the trade-off, if any, of having a single rpool on cXtYd0s2, if I can even do that, and improved performance compared to having two

All, my apologies in advance for the wide distribution - it was recommended that I contact these aliases but if there is a more appropriate one, please let me know... I have received the following EFI disk-related questions from the EMC PowerPath team who would like to provide more complete support for EFI disks on Sun platforms... I would appreciate help in answering these questions...

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

Dear ZFS experts, I have 2 SATA 500 GB Hard Drive on my Dual Core PC I have installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 using Live CD I got from Sun Tech Days in Singapore Now, using all the guidelines I got here at Indiana Discussion, I can''t attach my second drive to rpool to make them mirror Initially I was playing around with similar configuration in VirtualBox, and it does not succeed. Finally

I''m reading the "ZFS On-disk Format" PDF (dated 2006 - are there newer releases?), and have some questions regarding whether it is outdated: 1) On page 16 it has the following phrase (which I think is in general invalid): The value stored in offset is the offset in terms of sectors (512 byte blocks). To find the physical block byte offset from the beginning of a slice,

clear_IO_APIC_pin() ignores entries that are set to delivery mode SMI. While this seems reasonable if the entry was unmasked, I consider it dubious for masked entries. In Linux, such behavior is benign since when the entry later is being used for some normal interrupt, the old setting is simply overwritten. In Xen, however, ioapic_guest_write() uses the vector field to determine the previous

Hi, Yesterday I got all my disks in two zpool disconected. They are not real disks - LUNS from StorageTek 2530 array. What could that be - a failing LSI card or a mpt driver in 2009.06? After reboot got four disks in FAILED state - zpool clear fixed things with resilvering. Here is how it started (/var/adm/messages) Feb 23 12:39:03 nexus scsi: [ID 365881 kern.info] /pci at 0,0/pci10de,5d at

Hello, I have a dual boot with Windows 7 64 bit enterprise edition and Opensolaris build 134. This is on Sun Ultra 40 M1 workstation. Three hard drives, 2 in ZFS mirror, 1 is shared with Windows. Last 2 days I was working in Windows. I didn''t touch the hard drives in any way except I once opened Disk Management to figure out why a external USB hard drive is not being listed.

I never got an answer to this last time and I really need to know the answer to this. I have PROP_TYPE_BINARY implemented but I think it is causing some issues elsewhere (it might be incomplete). -- original question asked 2008-01-16 -- For storing the wrapped per dataset encryption keys as a (hidden) property I have been using PROP_TYPE_STRING. However this isn''t really correct

Since this seems to be a ubiquitous problem for people running ZFS, even though it''s really a general Solaris admin issue, I''m guessing the expertise is actually here, so I''m asking here. I found lots of online pages telling how to do it. None of them were correct or complete. I think. I seem to have accomplished it in a somewhat hackish fashion, possibly not

I am getting the following error, however as you can see below this is a SMI label... cannot set property for ''rpool'': property ''bootfs'' not supported on EFI labeled devices # zpool get bootfs rpool NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool bootfs - default # zpool set bootfs=rpool/ROOT/s10s_u8wos_08a rpool cannot set property for ''rpool'': property

Hello, I''ve been using Nexentastore Community Edition with no issues now for a while now, however last week I was going to rebuild a different system so I started to copy all the data off that to my to a raidz2 volume on me CE system. This was going fine until I noticed that they copy was stalled, as well as the entire system was non-responsive. I let it sit for several hours with no

Hello all, I am not sure my original mail got through to the list (I haven''t received it back), so I attach it below. Anyhow, now I have a saved kernel crash dump of the system panicking when it tries to - I believe - deferred-release the corrupted deduped blocks which are no longer referenced by the userdata/blockpointer tree.

Hello, I recently installed SunOS 5.11 snv_91 onto a Ultra 60 UPA/PCI with OpenBoot 3.31 and two 300GB SCSI disks. The root file system is UFS on c0t0d0s0. Following the steps in ZFS Admin I have attempted to convert root to ZFS utilizing c0t1d0s0. However, upon "init 6" I am always presented with: Bad magic number in disk label can''t open disk label package My Steps: 1)

Hi all, I'm going nuts. Ken Weiss and Steve Holstead have been very nice to me and supplied me with info on how to set my configure files and such. It helped me a lot but I still get stuck a bit later in the process. Namely during pass_check.c. I'm on a AIX 4.1.5 box. Using the export version of AFS 3.4. Help is appreciated. I wouldn't ask you all this if I hadn't already spent
