Hi all,
I am fairly new to Solaris and have been assigned to setup a storagetek 6140.
(5 x 500GB SATA drives at the moment)
The 6140 is directly attached to a x4200 via 2 FC HBA's.
My main question is: Once the 6140 is setup what would be the best way to make
files on the 6140 attached to the x4200 available to windows clients (mainly xp
and 2000 machines/not running Active Directory at this point of time but this
could change in the future -12 to 18 months down the line)
I m hearing that samba is not very mature on solaris.
Any insight on the matter?
Also the windows clients mainly access huge satellite imagery (ranging from 300
megs to a few gigs a piece) from the server to process them , what would be the
best storage profile for purpose.
Some of the storage profiles that im considering are:
Default
High_Capacity_Computing
High_Performance_Computing
Microsoft_NTFS
Microsoft_NTFS_HA
Random_1
Sequential
Sun_ZFS
Any input on the matter?
I m particularly intrigued by ZFS but not sure if it would be a good fit since
i m not well versed in Solaris.
Any recommendations? What would be the pros and cons of ZFS in that instance?
Thanks,
