Hi, we're running a couple of X4540, one on OpenSolaris snv_126 with COMSTAR FC/iSCSI targets for vmware, the other is replica/backup box running snv_132 with iSCSI targets on ipmp group of active/standby 10GbE/1G ports. Hardware is stable, just needed to update the BIOS and ILOM firmware (there were issues with fans, as you mentioned in you blog). Software is stable too, COMSTAR is getting better and better and is rock stable, I would just warn to not use CIFS server on the same box to preserve that stability, we finally moved CIFS to a smaller box, as it crashes from time to time, and so needs to reboot, also happens with the current snv_133, unfortunately. One thing that captures attention in your blog is the talk about some ZFS corruption after disk resilvering, do you have more details, which zpool version ? We had one of the disks resilvered recently, but there are no signs of any corruption. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
