ECC RAM provides a mechanism by which the data stored can be checked, and given a small enough error, repaired. Standard RAM doesn't provide this. Buffering is done at the hardware level to increase throughput (gigabytes per second) at the expense of latency (nano seconds per operation). Your

[OpenIndiana-discuss] 2 Node ZFS ISCSI failover Cluster with one SAS storage attached

hi, we want to build a two node failover cluster for exporting ZFS Volumes via ISCSI. The nodes are connected both to one 90TB SAS storage. We had success with Solaris 10 and the HA Storage plus Cluster package (3.x), but after Oracle has changed the license with Sol10/U9, we can't use it

Dear Denny. For the moment the only solution for this issue is to install Opensolaris 2009.6 and to build Open HA Cluster from source. It's comparable to Sun Cluster 3.2 For the future You may have a look onto http://www.illumos.org/projects/ihac The other Alternative could be the FreeBSD HAST

Does the Gigabyte board handle ECC memory? After my backups started failing verification, I realized how easily a stick of bad ram can corrupt files, and I made sure my motherboards support ECC memory. It's not too expensive, but I wish it was more widely used so the price would drop further.
