Hello,
I have played with ZFS but not deployed any production systems using
ZFS and would like some opinions....
I have a T-series box with 4 internal drives and would like to
deploy ZFS with availability and performance in mind.... ;)
What would some recommended configurations be?
Example: use internal RAID controller to mirror boot drives, and ZFS
the other 2?
Can I create one pool with the 3 or 4 drives, install Solaris, and
use this pool for other apps?
Also, what happens if a drive fails?
Thanks for any tips and gotchas.
Here's my .02
Have two small disks for rpool mirror and 2 large disks for your data
pool mirror.
Raidz will only give you IOPS of a single disk, so why not mirror? You
have lots of memory for ARC to read cache and you should get the same
performance and redundancy as a raidz.
