Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS iSCSI Clustered for VMware Host use

2009-09-01 Thread Jason
I guess I should come at it from the other side: If you have 1 iscsi target box and it goes down, you're dead in the water. If you have 2 iscsi target boxes that replicate and one dies, you are OK but you then have to have a 2:1 total storage to usable ratio (excluding expensive shared disks).

True, though an enclosure for shared disks is expensive. This isn't for production but for me to explore what I can do with x86/x64 hardware. The idea being that I can just throw up another x86/x64 box to add more storage. Has anyone tried anything similar? -- This message posted from openso

So aside from the NFS debate, would this 2 tier approach work? I am a bit fuzzy on how I would get the RAIDZ2 redundancy but still present the volume to the VMware host as a raw device. Is that possible or is my understanding wrong? Also could it be defined as a clustered resource? -- This m

Specifically I remember storage vmotion being supported on NFS last as well as jumbo frames. Just the impression I get from past features, perhaps they are doing better with that. I know the performance problem had specifically to do with ZFS and the way it handled something. I know lots of i

Well, I knew a guy who was involved in a project to do just that for a production environment. Basically they abandoned using that because there was a huge performance hit using ZFS over NFS. I didn’t get the specifics but his group is usually pretty sharp. I’ll have to check back with him.

Thanks for the reply! The reason I'm not waiting until I have the disks is mostly because it will take me several months to get the funds together and in the meantime, I need the extra space 1 or 2 drives gets me. Since the sparse files will only take up the space in use, if I've migrated 2 of

As you can add multiple vdevs to a pool, my suggestion would be to do several smaller raidz1 or raidz2 vdevs in the pool. With your setup - assuming 2 HBAs @ 24 drives each your setup would have yielded 20 drives usable storage (about) (assuming raidz2 with 2 spares on each HBA) and then mirror

option somewhere to allow sharing tank/nfs/vmware and the zfs filesystems mounted into that directory tree? It would make for a very neat solution if it did. If not I can get around it with one nfs mount per virtual machine, but that is extra overhead I was hoping to avoid. Thanks in advance Ja
