zfs discuss - Apr 2012 - OpenIndiana production-ready?

Hello list, 

What''s the current production-readiness of OI 151a? I''m
evaluating Solaris 11 at the moment on HP server hardware + SAS JBODs. Also
considering picking up a Thumper/Thor on the used market. For a ZFS storage
server, is it a better idea to just stick w/ Oracle Solaris, or is OI also a
good bet? How do the ZFS implementations differ between Solaris 11 and OI?

Thanks in advance.

Anh,

We have customers using both Solaris 11 and OI 151a. Most of customers are
using Solaris 11 for production and OI for tier 2 or backup so far

Solaris 11 Zpool version is at 33  while OI at 28 + some bug fix

Detail can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS


$ uname -a
SunOS solaris11 5.11 11.0 i86pc i386 i86pc
$ zpool upgrade -v
This system is currently running ZFS pool version 33.

$ uname -a
SunOS openindiana 5.11 oi_151a i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
$ zpool upgrade -v
This system is currently running ZFS pool version 28.
