Hello All, I am working with a customer on a solution where ZFS looks very promising. The solution requires disaster recovery and the chosen technology for providing DR of services in this organisation is Veritas Cluster Server. Has anyone implemented ZFS with Veritas Cluster Server to provide high-availability for ZFS pools and datasets? I understand that Sun Cluster is a better product for use with ZFS, but it is not supported within the organisation and is not available for use within the proposed solution. I am specifically looking for information on implementation experiences and failover testing with ZFS and VCS. Furthermore, if anyone has implemented ZFS on SRDF, I would also be interesting in hearing about those implementation experiences. Any and all input would be most appreciated. Kind Regards, Nathan Dietsch

Since you mentioned DR, you can use VVR and go (active-active)<-VVR->(active-active) and write to the "same" filesystem on four nodes (assuming synchronous locking doesn''t bottleneck your I/O). ZFS is good stuff but it can''t replace VxFS/VVR (yet). VxFS has a few years head-start. :) Rob++ -- Internet: windsor at warthog.com __o Life: Rob at Carrollton.Texas.USA.Earth _`\<,_ (_)/ (_) "They couldn''t hit an elephant at this distance." -- Major General John Sedgwick
