We are currently working on a plan to upgrade our HA-NFS cluster that uses HA-StoragePlus and VxVM 3.2 on Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 and ZFS. Is there a known procedure or best practice for this? I have enough free disk space to recreate all the filesystems and copy the data if necessary, but would like to avoid copying if possible.
You will need to copy the data from the old file system into ZFS.
Also, I am considering what type of zpools to create. I have a SAN with T3Bs and SE3511s. Since neither of these can work as a JBOD (at lesat that is what I remember) I guess I am going to have to add in the LUNS in a mirrored zpool of the Raid-5 Luns?
Lacking other information, particularly performance requirements, what you suggest is a good strategy: ZFS mirrors of RAID-5 LUNs.
We are at the extreme start of this project and I was hoping for some guidance as to what direction to start.
By all means, read the Sun Cluster Concepts Guide first. It will answer many questions that may arise as you go through the design. Note version 3.2 which is required for ZFS has updates to the concepts guide regarding the use of ZFS, available RSN. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
