[zfs-discuss] zfs startup question

2009-08-28 Thread Stephen Stogner
Hello,
  I have a quick question I cant seem to find a good answer for.  I have a  
S10U7 server that is running zfs to a couple of iSCSI shares on one of our 
sans, we use a routed network to connect to our iSCSI shares with the route 
statements in solaris. During normal operations it works fine however after 
every reboot the system tries to mount the iSCSI shares but it cannot reach 
them due to the fact it has not brought up the routing for it yet and the iscsi 
sessions take forever to time out.  Does anyone know a way around this  other 
than putting the iSCSI shares and the iSCSI nic's on the same subnet?

Thank you.



Stephen Stogner

[zfs-discuss] Terrible zfs performance under NFS load

2008-07-31 Thread Stephen Stogner
Hello,
  We have a S10U5 server sharing with zfs sharing up NFS shares.  While using 
the nfs mount for a log destination for syslog for 20 or so busy mail servers 
we have noticed that the throughput becomes severly degraded shortly.  I have 
tried disabling the zil, turning off cache flushing and I have not seen any 
changes in performance.  The servers are only pushing about 1MB/s of constant 
traffic to the server over nfs of log data.  I think this is due to the cache 
being flushed with every nfs commit, I was wondering if any one had any other 
suggestions as to what it could be? Thank you.

Re: [zfs-discuss] Terrible zfs performance under NFS load

2008-07-31 Thread Stephen Stogner
True we could have all the syslog data be directed towards the host but the 
underlying issue remains the same with the performance hit.  We have used nfs 
shares for log hosts and mail hosts and we are looking towards using a zfs 
based mail store with nfs moutnts from x mail servers but if nfs/zfs combo take 
such a performance hit I would need to investigate another solution.

Re: [zfs-discuss] iscsi core dumps when under IO

2008-02-22 Thread Stephen Stogner
I tlooks like you are probalby right.

from MDB this is what i'm getting:

file: /usr/sbin/amd64/iscsitgtd
initial argv: /usr/sbin/iscsitgtd
threading model: multi-threaded
status: process terminated by SIGABRT (Abort)
panic message: Assertion failed: 0, file ../t10_sam.c, line 511

Would it be possibly fixed in the S10U5 release?

[zfs-discuss] iscsi core dumps when under IO

2008-02-20 Thread Stephen Stogner
Hello,
 I am getting a strange issue when using zfs/iscsi shares out of it.

when I have attached a a cent os 5 initiator to the zfs target it works fine 
normally until i start doing heavy 100MB/s+ copies to a seperate cfs/nfs export 
on the same zfs pool.

the error I am getting is:

[ Feb 20 10:41:07 Stopping because process dumped core. ]
[ Feb 20 10:41:07 Executing stop method (/lib/svc/method/svc-iscsitgt stop 
143) ]

I was wondering if any one had any ideas. I am running 10U4 with all of the 
latest and greatest patches. Thank you.
