Hi all,

Once again here's yet another question for zpool configuration,and hope to read 
your comments soon.
Now going to the business I have a system with the following specs:
- 32 GB ram,8cpus
- 2 hba's with 512mb ram each with battery
- 2 jbod's with 12 disks (SATA 1Tb)

The purpose for this system is to host a few virtual machines (xen based) over 
NFS and to provide ISCSI volumes to a windows vm to host a ,small, sql server 
instance.

Now I've thought of having 2 zpools:

-  a 6 x 2 mirror (12 drives used) to be used by the iscsi volume for the sql 
database
- a 2 x 5 raidz (10 drives used) to be used to hold the vm's in a NFS share 
- add one drive to each zpool as a hot-spare

Since I have 2 hba's I would configure each vdev as having one disk per hba.
I don't have any ssd to use as a zil device,but I think that the cache on of 
the hba would help on that.

Given the above scenario ,how does it looks like the purposed configuration?


Thanks for all your time,
Bruno
