Hi,
We'd like to partition large-sized (e.g., 4TB or above) HDD disks into
2TB partitions, and read from Oracle Solaris mannual that Solaris (on
x86 paltform) can't recognize the disk space beyond 2TB when using
partition unless the disk is used as a whole.
Wondering whether it is the case?
I've no idea, but why would you want to?
Our intention is that: divide large-sized HDDs into 2TB partitions and
expose each parition (as a device) using COMSTAR. This is the
fundamental design of our storage virtualization system.
If we can't partiton large-sized HDD disks in this way, we have
to create zpool for each single disk and allocate fix-sized volumes
(on the pool) and expose each volume using COMSTAR. The solution works
file but bears greater ZFS performance cost.
Why wouldn't you simply create volumes on you zones pool? That way you
and share log and cache devices to get the performance you need.
