I'll know for sure later today or tomorrow, but it sounds like they are seriously considering the ASM route. Since we will be going to RAC later this year, this move makes the most sense. We'll just have to hope that the DBA group gets a better understanding of LUN's and our SAN, as they'll be taking over part of the disk (LUN) management. :-/ We were hoping we could get some interrim relief on the ZFS front through tuning or something, but if what you're saying is correct (and it sounds like it is), we may be out of luck.
If you plan on RAC, then ASM makes good sense. It is unclear (to me anyway) if ASM over a zvol is better than ASM over a raw LUN. It would be nice to have some of the zfs features such as snapshots, without having to go through extraordinary pain or buy expensive RAID arrays. If someone has tried ASM on a zvol, please speak up :-) -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
