[OmniOS-discuss] Boot from mirrored USB?

2013-10-31 Thread Ben Summers
Hello, I'm speccing out some new hardware. It seems challenging to get vendor supported configurations which give you lots of discs on a Solarish OS, rather than using horrid RAID cards. The best config I've found so far seems to be a Fujitsu RX200 with 4 internal 15k SAS discs (the internal

I believe napp-it based on OmniOS also boots from USB. The mirroring is hard because I don't think it is a native ZFS boot -- works more like a ram disk. On Thu, Oct 31, 2013 at 9:53 AM, Chris Nehren cnehren+omnios-disc...@omniti.com wrote: On Thu, Oct 31, 2013 at 11:54:50 +, Ben Summers

Some of my servers boot opendiana 151 from mirrored USB. I built a few root mirrored USB systems (three way), but stop because /var was wearing out the cheap USB sticks. http://rob.com/lancair/2013.01/usb.jpg Rob ___

I agree with Paul above. At my company, I had to convince them that ZFS was the way to go. We ended up going with Nexenta and their HA cluster option. Two headnodes (Inte E5645 with 48GB RAM each) that each connect to 3 JBODs via dual LSI 9207-8e in each headnode. We have 2 DataOn DNS-1600 4U

Thanks for all the feedback! It sounds like it's worth a bit of experimentation, but I should make sure things like /var are not on the USB stick. :-) Ben On 31 Oct 2013, at 14:19, Rob Logan r...@logan.com wrote: Some of my servers boot opendiana 151 from mirrored USB. I built a few

I have been running OmniOS and Napp-It on my Dell T710 server, booting off of a USB stick running on the internal port for several months, with no issues or problems. I deliberately found and bought an SLC flash-based USB stick for this purpose, on Taobao (China's Ebay) last time I visited, which
