[OmniOS-discuss] zfs send | recv

2018-06-11 Thread Oliver Weinmann
Hi, We are replicating snapshots from a Nexenta system to an OmniOS system. Nexenta calls this feature autosync. While they say it is only 100% supported between nexenta systems, we managed to get it working with OmniOS too. It's Not rocket science. But there is one big problem. In the

Hi Priyadarshan, Thanks a lot for the quick and comprehensive answer. I agree that using a third party tool might be helpful. When we started using the two ZFS systems, I really had a hard time testing a few third party tools. One of the biggest problems was that I wanted to be able to use the

Hi Oliver, Thank you for sharing your use-case on Nexenta. A few years ago we also needed to have a DR site, and I tested several third party tools. The introduction of ZFS to Linux, with ZOL, made things more confused, by adding several more tools (like sanoid:

I suppose you can either keep the last snaps identical on source and target with a simple zfs send recursively or you need a script that cares about and does a send per filesystem to allow a different number of snaps on the target system. This is not related to Nexenta but I saw the same on

I think I really have to start investigating using 3rd party apps again. Nexenta doesn't let me change the zfs send command. I can only adjust settings for the autosync job. [cid:Logo_Telespazio_180_px_signature_eng_b58fa623-e26d-4116-9230-766adacfe55e1.png] Oliver Weinmann Head
