basically you would add ZFS redundancy level, if you want to be protected from silent data corruption (data corruption that could occur somewhere along the IO path) - XP12000 has all the features to protect from hardware failure (no-SPOF) - ZFS has all the feature to protect from silent data

Seconded. Redundant controllers means you get one controller that locks them both up, as much as it means you've got backup. Best Regards, Jason On Mar 21, 2007 4:03 PM, Richard Elling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: JS wrote: I'd definitely prefer owning a sort of SAN solution that would basically

So, if your array is something big like an HP XP12000, you wouldn't just make a zpool of one big LUN (LUSE volume), you'd split it in two and make a mirror when creating the zpool? If the array has redundancy built in, you're suggesting to add another layer of redundancy using ZFS on top of

Jeff, This is great information. Thanks for sharing. Quickio is almost required if you want vxfs with Oracle. We ran a benchmark a few years back and found that vxfs is fairly cache hungry and ufs with directio beats vxfs without quickio hands down. Take a look at what mpstat says on xcalls.

I thought I'd share some lessons learned testing Oracle APS on Solaris 10 using ZFS as backend storage. I just got done running 2 months worth of performance tests on a v490 (32GB/4x1.8Ghz dual core proc system with 2xSun 2G HBAs on separate fabrics) and varying how I managed storage. Storage
