Hi,
are there any issue in ZFS boot using a pool with devices in a Storage
Area Network (SAN)?
I'm interested in both the SPARC and x86 platforms.
Rgrds,

Well let's look at a concrete example:
- cheapest 15k SAS drive (73GB): $180 [1]
- cheapest 7.2k SATA drive (160GB): $40 [2] (not counting a 80GB at $37)
The SAS drive most likely offers 2x-3x the IOPS/$. Certainly not 180/40=4.5x

Thanks for the info. I am not really after big performance, I am already on
SATA and it's good enough for me. What I really really can't afford is data

Hi there.
I just got a new Adaptec RAID 51645 controller in because the old (other type)
was malfunctioning. It is paired with 16 Seagate 15k5 disks, of which two are
used with hardware RAID 1 for OpenSolaris snv_98, and the rest is configured as
striped mirrors as a zpool. I created a zfs

I would look at what size IOs you are doing in each case.
I have been playing with a T5240 and got 400Mb/s read and 200Mb/s write speeds
with iozone throughput tests on a 6 disk mirror pool, so the box and ZFS can
certainly push data around - but that was using 128k blocks.

I'm going to use Jorg's 'star' to simulate some sequential backup workloads,
using different blocksizes and see what the system do.
I'll save some output and post for people that might match the same config, now
or in the future.
To be clear though: (currently)

You seem to missunderstand drive physics.
With modern drives, seek times are not a dominating factor. It is the

You can't argue against that. To paraphrase what was said earlier in this

I came across this bug in a similar way myself. The explanation given by
Stephen Hahn is this:

For a while, the boot-archive on 2008.nn systems included a copy of

regenerate your boot archive, and you should be able
OK, we cut off this thread now.
Bottom line here is that when it comes to making statements about SATA
vs SAS, there are ONLY two statements which are currently absolute:
(1) a SATA drive has better GB/$ than a SAS drive
(2) a SAS drive has better throughput and IOPs than a SATA drive

Yeah, tried it but no luck :-( I do not think it is a hardware problem - in
fact I tried removing every disk one by one with no luck - this is why I think
it is not in fact a hardware problem...
