Hi,
I'm plan to build home server that will host my svn repository, fileserver, mailserver and webserver.
This is my plan..
I have an old dell precision 420 dual 933Mhz pIII cpus. Inside this i have one
scsi 9.1G hdd and 2 80G ide hdds. I am going to install solaris 10 on the scsi
drive and have it as the boot disk. I will then create a zfs mirror on the two
ide drives. Since i dont want to mix internet facing services (mailserver,
webservers) with my internal services (svn server, fileserver) i am going to
use zones to isolate them. Not sure how many zones just yet.
Sounds reasonable to me.
In this configureation i hope too of gained the protection of having the
serives mirrors ( will perform backups also ).
What i dont know is what happens if the boot disk dies? can i replace is,
install solaris again and get it to see the zfs mirror?
Yes. You can "zfs import" the drives into the new Solaris environment.
I do this regularly, as I tend to upgrade regularly.
