Try mounting the other way, so you read form NFS and write to ZFS (~DAS). That should perform significantly better. NFS write is slow (compared to read) because of syncronous ack. If you for some reason cant mount the other way, then you may want to play with NFS mount-options for write-buffer

What if your HW-RAID-controller dies? in say 2 years or more.. What will read your disks as a configured RAID? Do you know how to (re)configure the controller or restore the config without destroying your data? Do you know for sure that a spare-part and firmware will be identical, or at least

For the moment, SolarisCluster 3.2 does not support using AVS replication within a cluster for failover of storage. We do support using storage based replication for failover data with high end Hitachi based storage. Also at this point SolarisCluster does not ship with support for zfs send. You
