>> 1. My understanding of the situation is having a zpool on a single LUN precludes some ZFS technology such as self-healing, hence is not best practice. Right? >For important data and when you have only one LUN (eg. arrays) using copies is a way to manage your redundancy policies for each file

I've been presented with the following scenario: - this is to be used primarily for ORACLE, including usage of ORACLE RMAN backups (to disk) - HP SAN (will NOT do JBOD) - 256 Gb disk available on high-speed Fibre Channel disk, currently on one LUN (1) - 256 Gb disk available on slower-speed SATA

Gimme specific examples and I'll have a look at it. We (net-snmp) are just about to release a new version (5.4.1) so I'd like to fix it before it goes to production. It may be a known bug, since fixed, with 5.0.9. >Not specifically a ZFS question, but is anyone monitoring disk space of their ZF

I have a scenario where I have several ORACLE databases. I'm trying to keep system downtime to a minimum for business reasons. I've created zpools on three devices, an internal 148 Gb drive (data) and two partitions on an HP SAN. HP won't do JBOD so I'm stuck with relying upon HP to give me a cl

Management here is worried about performance under ZFS because they had a bad experience with Instant Image a number of years ago. When iiamd was used, server performance was reduced to a crawl. Hence they want proof in the form of benchmarking that zfs snapshots will not adversely affect system
