Re: [zfs-discuss] Solaris 11 System Reboots Continuously Because of a ZFS-Related Panic (7191375)

2012-12-28 Thread Andras Spitzer
Josh, You mention that Oracle is preparing patches for both Solaris 11.2 and S10u11, does that mean that the bug exist in Solaris 10 as well? I may be wrong but Cindy mentioned the bug is only in Solaris 11. Regards, sendai ___ zfs-discuss mailing list

[zfs-discuss] Which ZFS events/errors appears in FMA?

Hi, Is there a summary somewhere which describes exactly which ZFS related events/errors appears in FMA today, also some sort of roadmap about events/errors that are planned to be reported via FMA in the future? Regards, sendai -- This message posted from opensolaris.org __

Please find this thread for further info about this topic : http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=120824&start=0&tstart=0 In short, ZFS doesn't support thin reclamation today, although we have RFE open to implement it somewhere in the future. Regards, sendai -- This message pos

Mike, As far as I know only Hitachi is using such a huge chunk size : "So each vendor’s implementation of TP uses a different block size. HDS use 42MB on the USP, EMC use 768KB on DMX, IBM allow a variable size from 32KB to 256KB on the SVC and 3Par use blocks of just 16KB. The reasons for thi

Just an update : Finally I found some technical details about this Thin Reclamation API : (http://blogs.hds.com/claus/2009/12/i-love-it-when-a-plan-comes-together.html) "This week, (December 7th), Symantec announced their “completing the thin provisioning ecosystem” that includes the necessary

Let me sum up my thoughts in this topic. To Richard [relling] : I agree with you this topic is even more confusing if we are not careful enough to specify exactly what we are talking about. Thin provision can be done on multiple layers, and though you said you like it to be closer to the app th

Richard, That's an interesting question, if it's worth it or not. I guess the question is always who are the targets for ZFS (I assume everyone, though in reality priorities has to set up as the developer resources are limited). For a home office, no doubt thin provisioning is not much of a use

Devzero, Unfortunately that was my assumption as well. I don't have source level knowledge of ZFS, though based on what I know it wouldn't be an easy way to do it. I'm not even sure it's only a technical question, but a design question, which would make it even less feasible. Apart from the te

[zfs-discuss] Thin device support in ZFS?

2009-12-30 Thread Andras Spitzer
Hi, Does anyone heard about having any plans to support thin devices by ZFS? I'm talking about the thin device feature by SAN frames (EMC, HDS) which provides more efficient space utilization. The concept is similar to ZFS with the pool and datasets, though the pool in this case is in the SAN f

2009-02-13 Thread Andras Spitzer
Damon, Yes, we can provide simple concat inside the array (even though today we provide RAID5 or RAID1 as our standard, and using Veritas with concat), the question is more of if it's worth it to switch the redundancy from the array to the ZFS layer. The RAID5/1 features of the high-end EMC ar

[zfs-discuss] ZFS on SAN?

2009-02-13 Thread Andras Spitzer
Hi, When I read the ZFS manual, it usually recommends to configure redundancy at the ZFS layer, mainly because there are features that will work only with redundant configuration (like corrupted data correction), also it implies that the overall robustness will improve. My question is simple,

[zfs-discuss] ZFS with Veritas DMP?

2009-02-08 Thread Andras Spitzer
Hi, I'm aware that if we talking about DMP on Solaris the preferred way is to use MPxIO, still I have a question if any of you got any experience with ZFS on top of Veritas DMP? Does it work? Is it supported? Any real life experience/tests in this subject? Regards, sendai -- This message post
