Hi Torrey; we are the cobblers kids. We borrowed this T2000 from
Niagara engineering after we did some performance tests for them. I am
trying to get a thumper to run this data set. This could take up to 3-4
months. Today we are watching 750 Sun Ray servers and 30,000 employees.
Lets see 1) Solaris 10 2) ZFS version 6 3) T2000 32x1000 with the poorer performing drives that come with the Niagara We need a short term solution. Niagara engineering has given us two more of the internal drives so we can max out the Niagara with 4 internal drives. This is the hardware we need to use this week. . When we get a new box, more drives we will reconfigure. Our graphs have 5000 data points per month, 140 data points per day. we can stand to lose data. my suggestion was one drive as the system volume and the remaining three drives as one big zfs volume , probably raidz. thanks sean Torrey McMahon wrote: Given the amount of I/O wouldn't it make sense to get more drives involved or something that has cache on the front end or both? If you're really pushing the amount of I/O you're alluding too - Hard to tell without all the details - then you're probably going to hit a limitation on the drive IOPS. (Even with the cache on.) --
