Have you looked at using Oracle ASM instead of or with ZFS? Recent Sun docs concerning the F5100 seem to recommend a hybrid of both.
If you don't go that route, generally you should separate redo logs from actual data so they don't compete for I/O, since a redo switch lagging hangs the database. If you use archive logs, separate that on to yet another pool. Realistically, it takes lots of analysis with different configurations. Every workload and database is different. A decent overview of configuring JBOD-type storage for databases is here, though it doesn't use ASM... https://www.sun.com/offers/docs/j4000_oracle_db.pdf It's a couple years old and that might contribute to the lack of an ASM mention. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
