[zfs-discuss] UFS or ZFS for MYSQL and APACHE web server data and Database

2008-04-24 Thread Kory Wheatley
I have two 200GB ISCSI LUN's setup on each X4600 M2 running Solaris 10 X86 update 4. The data on these ISCSI disks for one server will be Apache and on the other server MYSQL. My question is should I setup these disks as a ZFS Pool filesystem or as a UFS soft partition (eventually the LUN wil

We have a zfs pool setup as an iscsi disk attached to an equallogic box. When we boot the system up we get the following warning. WARNING: kstat_create('mdi', 0, 'ssd0.t1.iscsi0'): namespace collision I believe this is regards to the zfs iscsi disks. This may not be the right forum but I don't

What would be the commands for the three way mirror or an example of what your describing. I thought the 200gb would have to be the same size to attach to the existing mirror and you would have to attach two LUN disks vs one LUN. Once it attaches it automatically reslivers or syncs the disk the

We have a Mirror setup in ZFS that's 73GB (two internal disks on a sun fire v440). We currently are going to attach this system to an Equallogic Box, and will attach an ISCSCI LUN from the Equallogic box to the v440 of about 200gb. The Equallogic Box is configured as a Hardware Raid 50 (two h

The reason for this question is we currently have our disk setup in a hardware raid5 on a EMC device and these disks are configured as a zfs file system. Would it benefit us to have the disk be setup as a raidz along with the hardware raid 5 that is already setup too? Or with this double raid

The Luns will be on separate "SPA" controllers"not on all the same controller, so that's why I thought if we split our data on different disks and ZFS Storage Pools we would get better IO performance. Correct? This message posted from opensolaris.org _
