Hello,
I have a situation here at the office I would like some advice on.

I have 6 Sun Fire x4550(Thumper) that I want to aggregate the storage 
and create a unified namespace for my client machines.  My plan was to 
export the zpools from each thumper as an iscsi target to a Solaris 
machine and create a RAIDZ zpool from the iscsi targets.  I think this 
is what they call RAID plaiding(RAID on RAID).  This Solaris frontend 
machine would then share out this zpool via NFS or CIFS.

My question is what is the best solution for this?  The question i'm 
facing is how to add additional thumpers since you cannot expand a RAIDZ 
array.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Larry
