[zfs-discuss] HP JBOD D2700 - ok?

2011-11-30 Thread Ragnar Sundblad
Hello all, We are thinking about using HP D2700 SAS enclosures with Sun X41xx servers and Solaris (Solaris 10, at least to begin with). Has anyone any experience with using those with Solaris and zfs? What would you recommend for HBAs? We currently have the Sun branded LSI SAS3801e HBAs (1068e

I'd recommend the LSI 9205 over the 9200 simply for the newer chipset and performance reasons, but the HP card you mention is compatible. -- Edmund White On 11/30/11 8:06 AM, Sašo Kiselkov skiselkov...@gmail.com wrote: On 11/30/2011 02:40 PM, Edmund White wrote: Absolutely. I'm using

I'd be wary of purchasing HP HBAs without getting a firsthand report from someone that they're compatible. I've seen several HP controllers that use LSI chip sets but are crippled in that they won't present drives as JBOD. That said, I've used a few of the HBAs sourced from LSI resellers and they
