However, when compared to Veritas or does that match up? This could easily rathole into a "when will ZFS read email" discussion but it is something that should probably be thought about in the context of ZFS as a standalone entity and also in a larger system level perspective. Since ZFS now interacts with FMA and SMF, the goal should be to intergrate page/email actions into SMF, I heard it was being worked on. When its done we can get emails not just when ZFS has problems but when ever any hardware or software in the system has problems. This is the primary goal monitoring zpool is just a stop gap measure till when SMF has the needed functionality.

Re: [zfs-discuss] How to monitor ZFS ?
ZFS will generate error events through FMA and they will be visible via syslog or fmdump. The hot spares facility will also listen for vdev failures to determine when to automatically kick in a hot spare. - George Dick Davies wrote: On 15/07/06, Torrey McMahon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: eric kustarz wrote: > martin wrote: > To monitor activity, use 'zpool iostat 1' to monitor just zfs > datasets, or iostat(1M) to include non-zfs devices.
