[zfs-discuss] Question about SLOG for Nexenta HA cluster

2010-11-18 Thread Saxon, Will
What are people using for slog in a cluster scenario? Assuming the competition is a DDRdrive, is there anything reasonable available? Is it still just STEC/Pliant SSDs or a ramsan-style appliance? I see Hitachi released a SAS SSD earlier this week but it's not available or well understood at t

ESX does not support LACP, only static trunking with a host-configured path selection algorithm. Look at Infiniband. Even QDR (32 Gbit) is cheaper per port than most 10GbE solutions I've seen, and SDR/DDR certainly is. If you want to connect ESX to storage directly via IB you will find some lim

Hello, I don't have any experience with ZFS when the disks are in external cabinets. I have a few questions: 1. If I have a lot of spindles in an external cabinet, I'll have several disks sharing channels (between 3 and 6 depending on chassis). I know this is generally unfavorable, but if the

Hello, I've recently joined this list, primarily because of a thread I found from late April ("Is file cloning anywhere on ZFS roadmap") asking about file-level cloning in ZFS. Based on that thread I understand that it's not currently possible to 'clone' files instead of 'copying' them, but the
