Hello all,

Am newbie to opensolaris and SUN HW in general and storage too.

Question ... in reviewing the x4500 docs, seems like it's a filer head with 48 
internal SATA drives, max drive supported upto 1TB per drive;  so essentially 
this machine's maximum storage is 48TB raw ....  Why is it in the documentation 
that it states Thumper provides 24TB ??  

Do you have to run some form of SW RAID (mirroring or such) on ZFS ?  For those 
who have this deployed, any pointers to white papers on best practices on how 
to deploy this with ZFS? NFS over ZFS?  how about with Gluster?

Would anyone know what is the total useable capacity for a 48 bay 1TB drive 
Thumper server?

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards.

Aspasia
