Regarding the bold statement There is no NFS over ZFS issue What I mean here is that,if you _do_ encounter a performance pathology not linked to the NVRAM Storage/cache flush issue then you _should_ complain or better get someone to do an analysis of the situation. One

I used a zpool on a usb key today to get some core files off a non-networked Thumper running S10U4 beta. Plugging the stick into my SXCE b61 x86 machine worked fine; I just had to 'zpool import sticky' and it worked ok. But when we attach the drive to a blade 100 (running s10u3), it sees the

Hi folks, So the expansion unit for the 2500 series is the 2501. The back-end drive channels are SAS. Currently it is not supported to connect a 2501 directly to a SAS HBA. SATA drives are in the pipe, but will not be released until the RAID firmware for the 2500 series officially supports the

I am pretty sure the T3/6120/6320 firmware does not support the SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE commands.. Off the top of my head, I do not know if that triggers any change in behavior on the Solaris side... The firmware does support the use of the FUA bit...which would potentially lead to similar flushing
