Re: [storage-discuss] Making zfs HA
I've heard about Nexenta. But we're just started to move away from another linux-build appliance, so I don't feel like start using another Linux once again. Hopefully, sometime we'll just order proper hardware from SUN to provide clustering or whatever is needed. Anyway, thanks for suggestions. Is it possible to use the code of plugins you've mentioned in Opensolaris? Anyway, it's still not a true clustering solution, but sounds promising. -- Roman -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
[storage-discuss] [HBA card] is needed
Hi guys, It's kind of emergency, a customer want a fast, expandable array but I don't have any HBA to connect jbods. I've decided to use lsi sas 3801e card. http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/host_bus_adapters/sas_hbas/lsisas3801e/index.html There is positive feedback for this card when used with JBOD enclosures. However, our sales dep can't find it fast enough (back order is everywhere). Can anybody advise something similar? I know many vendors use lsi chipset, but for example Dell cards have some firmware issues when installed on Solaris (or not?) Thanks in advance. -- Roman -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss

I wonder what was the price for this card? And seems like we found something, guys from pc-pitstop.com are promising to ship what we need promptly. -- Roman ro...@frontline.ca -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss

http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=112226tstart=15 This thread indicates an Intel branded card using the same LSI chipset. I believe Amazon has it available for a pretty decent price. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss

Hi Tim, I'm in Canada. I wonder what was the price for this card? And seems like we found something, guys from pc-pitstop.com are promising to ship what we need promptly.Roman, About the best I could find was GBP 200.00 each. As far as I can tell this is the exact same controller that Sun ships as SG-XPCIE8SAS-E-Z which is here: http://www.sun.com/storage/storage_networking/hba/sas/specs.xml We'll be hooking ours up the the aforementioned J4200 arrays and SunFire X4100 M2 servers next week to test. For reference, the list price here in the UK for the Sun-version is about GBP 390.00.

Re: [storage-discuss] Making zfs HA
All public plugins CDDL licensed, however they really depends on NMS and component APIs. More public plugins coming soon such us: UPS and ClamAV/ZFS - but also, this website can host projects which are related to OpenSolaris / Nexenta, such as kernel gate: http://www.nexentastor.org/projects/nexenta-gate Roman Naumenko wrote: I've heard about Nexenta.

Re: [storage-discuss] Making zfs storage HA clustered
[Added ha-clusters-discuss] Have you looked at what Open HA Cluster(OHAC) provides? http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ There is a HA-ZFS agent for OHAC and more recently support for shared-nothing storage with COMSTAR.

Re: [storage-discuss] Making zfs storage HA clustered
BTW, there are two commercial plugins for NexentaStor as well which will solve HA problem nicely in my opinion: http://www.nexenta.com/corp/index.php?option=com_jreviewstask=listcategorysection=20cat=53dir=1Itemid=112 1. Simple-Failover plugin - active / passive manual failover 2. HA Cluster plugin - industry proven RSF-1 cluster solution packaged as NexentaStor plugin + integration. Both works with ZFS / COMSTAR / services / etc. Make sense to take a look.
