Re: [zfs-discuss] Replacement disks for Sun X4500

2011-07-07 Thread X4 User
I am bumping this thread because I too have the same question ... can I put modern 3TB disks (hitachi deskstars) into an old x4500 ? If not, would the x4540 accept them ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list

[zfs-discuss] What is ZFS metadata in regard to caching and redundant storage policy?

2011-07-07 Thread Jim Klimov
I just found that I do not exactly know: What is ZFS metadata in regard to caching and redundant storage policy? What sort of blocks does it include and what - doesn't? I know that there is some metadata which can be prioritized in ARC with primarycache (or in L2ARC with secondarycache)

[zfs-discuss] Non-Global zone recovery

2011-07-07 Thread Ram
Can we recover non-global zone if Global zone is reimaged because of an OS issue and non-global zone OS is running on different pool which is on SAN. For ex: Global is running on rpool - Internal disk Non-Global zone is running on testpool - Which is on SAN. Thanks, Ram -- This message posted

Hi Jim, Non-metadata is the level zero blocks (leaf blocks) of those zfs objects that store user payload. (plain files, volumes and the like) Everything else is metadata. The place to look is dmu.c. Any object type enumerated in dmu_ot that is flagged TRUE is metadata in its entirety,

Hi Ram, Which Solaris release is this and how was the OS re-imaged? If this is a recent Solaris 10 release and you used Live Upgrade, then the answer is yes. I'm not so sure about zone behavior in the Oracle Solaris 11 Express release. You should just be able to import testpool and boot your

Hi Cindy, Thanks for the email. We are using Solaris 10 with out Live Upgrade. Tested following in the sandbox environment: 1) We have one non-global zone (TestZone) which is running on Test zpool (SAN) 2) Don’t see zpool or non-global zone after re-image of Global zone. 3)

It looks like it is looking for SUNWdetached.xml which will create when we deattch the zone but in my case, I didn't deattach the zone before reimage. Thanks, Ram Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -Original Message- From: Ram kumar ram.kum...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2011 15:41:17

Okay, so which Solaris 10 release is this? It might also depend on how your zones are created. You can review the support zone configurations here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18752_01/html/819-5461/ggpdm.html#gigek Using Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade to Migrate or Upgrade a System With
