Hi all, just after sending a message to sunmanagers I realized that my question should rather have gone here. So sunmanagers please excus ethe double post: I have inherited a X4140 (8 SAS slots) and have just setup the system with Solaris 10 09. I first setup the system on a mirrored pool over the first two disks pool: rpool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME

We are looking into the possibility of adding a dedicated ZIL and/or L2ARC devices to our pool. We are looking into getting 4 ? 32GB Intel X25-E SSD drives. Would this be a good solution to slow write speeds? We are currently sharing out different slices of the pool to windows servers using comstar and fibrechannel. We are currently getting around 300MB/sec performance with 70-100% disk busy.

Hi, My customer says: ------------------------------------ Application has NFS directories with millions of files in a directory, and this can''t changed. We are having issues with the EMC appliance and RPC timeouts on the NFS lookup. I am looking doing is moving one of the major NFS exports to as Sun 25k using VCS to cluster a ZFS RAIDZ that is then NFS exported. For performance I

Hello list, someone (actually neil perrin (CC)) mentioned in this thread: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2009-December/034340.html that is should be possible to import a pool with failed log devices (with or without data loss ?). >/ />/ Has the following error no consequences? />/ />/ Bug ID 6538021 />/ Synopsis Need a way to force pool startup when

Hi all, I currently have a OCZ Vertex 4 SSD as a ZIL device and am well aware of their exaggerated claims of sustained performance. I was thinking about getting a DRAM based ZIL accelerator such as Christopher George''s DDRDive, one of the STEC products, etc. Of course the key question i''m trying to answer is: is the price premium worth it? --- What is the (average/min/max)

Greetings! I have a samba 3.6.18 acts as a domain member. I'm using a samba nss and creating local groups for a domain users. Here part of my nsswitch.conf: group: files winbind passwd: files winbind The problem is that the tdb unix GID mappings returns different ID from time to time for the same SIDs. Suppose we have a local group "samba_svn1", created with "NET SAM

I''m looking to move our file storage from Windows to Opensolaris/zfs. The windows box will be connected through 10g for iscsi to the storage. The windows box will continue to serve the windows clients and will be hosting approximately 4TB of data. The physical box is a sunfire x4240, single AMD 2435 processor, 16G ram, LSI 3801E HBA, ixgbe 10g card. I''m looking for suggestions

Hi folks, I would appreciate it if someone can help me understand some weird results I''m seeing with trying to do performance testing with an SSD offloaded ZIL. I''m attempting to improve my infrastructure''s burstable write capacity (ZFS based WebDav servers), and naturally I''m looking at implementing SSD based ZIL devices. I have a test machine with the

I have some questions about the choice of SSDs to use for ZIL and L2ARC. I''m trying to build an OpenSolaris iSCSI SAN out of a whitebox system, which is intended to be used as a backup SAN during storage migration, so it''s built on a tight budget. The system currently has 4GB RAM, 3GHz Core2-Quad and 8x 500GB WD REII SATA HDDs attached to an Areca 8port ARC-1220 controller

Hello, I have a Dell 2950 with a Perc 5/i, two 300GB 15K SAS drives in a RAID0 array. I am considering going to ZFS and I would like to get some feedback about which situation would yield the highest performance: using the Perc 5/i to provide a hardware RAID0 that is presented as a single volume to OpenSolaris, or using the drives separately and creating the RAID0 with OpenSolaris and ZFS? Or

I''m planning on setting up an NFS server for our ESXi hosts and plan on using a virtualized Solaris or Nexenta host to serve ZFS over NFS. The storage I have available is provided by Equallogic boxes over 10Gbe iSCSI. I am trying to figure out the best way to provide both performance and resiliency given the Equallogic provides the redundancy. Since I am hoping to provide a 2TB

I have a 24 x 1TB system being used as an NFS file server. Seagate SAS disks connected via an LSI 9211-8i SAS controller, disk layout 2 x 11 disk RAIDZ2 + 2 spares. I am using 2 x DDR Drive X1s as the ZIL. When we write anything to it, the writes are always very bursty like this: ool 488K 20.0T 0 0 0 0 xpool 488K 20.0T 0 0 0 0 xpool

I posted a thread on this once long ago[1] -- but we''re still fighting with this problem and I wanted to throw it out here again. All of our hardware is from Silicon Mechanics (SuperMicro chassis and motherboards). Up until now, all of the hardware has had a single 24-disk expander / backplane -- but we recently got one of the new SC847-based models with 24 disks up front and 12 in the

Hello! Our company have 2 sun 7110 with the following configuration: Primary: 7110 with 2 qc 1.9ghz HE opterons and 32GB ram 16 2.5" 10Krpm sas disc (2 system, 1 spare) a pool is configured from the rest so we have 13 active working discs in raidz-2 (called main) there is a sun J4200 jbod connected to this device with 12x750GB discs with 1 spare and 11active discs there is another pool

Ah... there's your answer. ssh is working fine, as you say, but you're invoking rsync without telling it to user ssh, so it's using rsh. If you've got this, you don't need rsyncd.conf. The syntax you're using tells rsync to use an external transport. rsync -e ssh file rmt_host:/tmp Tim Conway tim.conway@philips.com 303.682.4917 Philips Semiconductor - Longmont TC 1880

Good day, I am facing a problem when I am installing the dynamo-package and loading it. After I installed the package, I received the following warning message: "In file.create(f.tg) : cannot create file 'C:\PROGRA~2\R\R-28~1.1/doc/html/packages.html', reason 'Permission denied'" and when I load the package, an error message pops up saying that "the application

Are there any drawbacks to partition a SSD in two parts and use L2ARC on one partition, and ZIL on the other? Any thoughts? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, for zfs raidz1, I know for random io, iops of a raidz1 vdev eqaul to one physical disk iops, since raidz1 is like raid5 , so is raid5 has same performance like raidz1? ie. random iops equal to one physical disk''s ipos. Regards Victor -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
