similar to: using veritas dmp with ZFS (but not vxvm)

Hello experts, My client is thinking about changing one of their servers running Solaris 8 (NIS Hub to mention something) to a server running Solaris 10. The question that i have given is to check the differences or if you wish the status/stability of changing VXvm with DMP (Dynamic Multi Pathing) to a system with ZFS and MPXio. I have made my share of RTFM but not come any closer to an answer.

Hi, I''m aware that if we talking about DMP on Solaris the preferred way is to use MPxIO, still I have a question if any of you got any experience with ZFS on top of Veritas DMP? Does it work? Is it supported? Any real life experience/tests in this subject? Regards, sendai -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

I assume that a zvol has a vtoc. What tags are supported? Thanks, Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/attachments/20070427/57e1a64f/attachment.html>

Hi WizaRds, I tried reading the S-PLUS file ftp://ftp.research.att.com/dist/bayes-meta/hblm.dmp into R using data.restore("hblm.dmp") but I got an error: Error in attributes(value) <- thelist[-match(c(".Data", ".Dim", ".Dimnames", : row names must be 'character' or 'integer', not 'double' In

Hi. I''d like to request a feature be added to zfs. Currently, on SAN attached disk, zpool shows up with a big WWN for the disk. If ZFS (or the zpool command, in particular) had a text field for arbitrary information, it would be possible to add something that would indicate what LUN on what array the disk in question might be. This would make troubleshooting and general

Where can I find a list of supported multipath drivers for ZFS?

We are looking at the alternatives to VXVM/VXFS. One of the feature which we liked in Veritas, apart from the obvious ones is the ability to call the disks by name and group them in to a disk group. Especially in SAN based environment where the disks may be shared by multiple machines, it is very easy to manage them by disk group names rather than cxtxdx numbers. Does zfs offer such

I'm sorry that this question has been asked before but I ask it again because in the archives I didn't see a solution. It's an old S-plus dmp file for a hierarchical bayes linear model program written by DuMouchel and available publicly and freely at: ftp://ftp.research.att.com/dist/bayes-meta/hblm.dmp Only problem is that it cannot be read in R, even using the functions of the

Hi Everyone ; I will soon be making a presentation comparing ZFS against Veritas Storage Foundation , do we have any document comparing features ? regards <http://www.sun.com/> http://www.sun.com/emrkt/sigs/6g_top.gif Mertol Ozyoney Storage Practice - Sales Manager Sun Microsystems, TR Istanbul TR Phone +902123352200 Mobile +905339310752 Fax +902123352222 Email

Hello, I am trying to configure ZFS with IBM sdd. IBM sdd is like powerpath, MPXIO or VxDMP. Here is the error message when I try to create my pool: bash-3.00# zpool create tank /dev/dsk/vpath1a warning: device in use checking failed: No such device internal error: unexpected error 22 at line 446 of ../common/libzfs_pool.c bash-3.00# zpool create tank /dev/dsk/vpath1c cannot open

Hi, There''s something really bizarre in ZFS snaphot specs : "Uses no separate backing store." . Hum...if I want to mutualize one physical volume somewhere in my SAN as THE snaphots backing-store...it becomes impossible to do ! Really bad. Is there any chance to have a "backing-store-file" option in a future release ? In the same idea, it would be great to

Hi, I just deploy the ZFS on an SAN attach disk array and it''s working fine. How do i get dual pathing advantage of the disk ( like DMP in Veritas). Can someone point to correct doc and setup. Thanks in Advance. Rgds Vikash Gupta This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi. If I create a zpool with the following command: zpool create tank raidz2 da0 da1 da2 da3 da4 da5 da6 da7 and after a reboot the device names for some reason are changed so da2 and da5 are swapped, either by altering the LUN setting on the storage or by switching cables/swapping disks etc.? How will zfs handle that? Will it simply acknowledge that all devices are present and the pool is

How much fun can you have with a simple thing like powerpath? Here''s the story: I have a (remote) system with access to a couple of EMC LUNs. Originally, I set it up with mpxio and created a simple zpool containing the two LUNs. It''s now been reconfigured to use powerpath instead of mpxio. My problem is that I can''t import the pool. I get: pool: ###### id:

I will have a file system in a SAN using ZFS. Can someone answer my questions? 1. Can I create ZFS volumes on a ZFS file system from one server, attach the file system read-write to a different server (to load data), then detach the file system from that server and attach the file system read-only to multiple other servers? 2. Can I expand on the fly a ZFS volume within a file

Hi, I am running RH 7.2 (professional release 2.4 kernel) I have a ext3 file system which stores large oracle "dump files" over 4GB. We write to it via NFS which is working great, the problem is when we issue a file largefile.dmp from the linux box it fails on anything over 4GB stating that can't stat 'largefile.dmp' (value too large for defined data type). We can do

Hello all, It was often asked and discussed on the list about "how to change rpool HDDs from AHCI to IDE mode" and back, with the modern routine involving reconfiguration of the BIOS, bootup from separate live media, simple import and export of the rpool, and bootup from the rpool. The documented way is to reinstall the OS upon HW changes. Both are inconvenient to say the least.

Hi all! Doing my first steps with OCFS (1.0.9), I ran across a nifty little "feature".... We've been trying if DMP with QLogic 2300 HBAs works without having DMP activated (ok, blame on me...). ocfstool allows you to mount different partitions on the same mountpoint, but after we tried that, everything went to state "D" and we chose to reboot the whole cluster (4
