Hi, as end-of-life of r151014 approaches, we are planning upgrade for our NFS servers. I'm thinking about 2 servers providing ISCSI targets, and 2 another OmniOS servers using these ISCSI block devices in mirrored ZPOOL setup. IP address for NFS service can be a floating IP between those 2 servers. I have the following questions: 1. Are there any advantages to have separate ISCSI target servers and NFS servers or I should better combine one ISCSI target and NFS server on each of 2 hosts? 2. I do not want snapshots, checksums, and other ZFS features for block devices at the level where they are exported as ISCSI targets, - I would prefer these features at the level where these block devices are combined into mirror Zpools. Maybe it's better to have these ISCSI target servers running some not so advanced OS and have 2 Linux boxes? 3. But if I have SSD for intent log and for cache, - maybe they can improve performance for ZVOLs used as block devices for ISCSI targets?
Does anybody have experience setting up such redundant NFS servers? -- Regards, Sergey Ivanov _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
