I've recently been tasked with setting up a HA NAS cluster using Solaris Express and Cluster Express on x86. I'd really like to keep my entire disk (minus the boot partition) as ZFS. I've scoured through the mailing list and the various wiki's out there for information on running Cluster Express's /globaldevices on lofi to no avail.
I'm hoping that someone on this mailing list will be able to answer my questions, the main one being what the advantages and disadvantages of running /globaldevices on a lofi device. Is the lofi support production ready or geared more towards testing? When Solaris Cluster does support a ZFS /globaldevices, will I be able to migrate off of lofi (assuming I opt to go that route)? Is there a substantial performance penalty for using lofi? Thanks, --Tim Perkins -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
