I'm looking at bringing up a new Solaris 10 based file server running off an older UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz with 512mb ram. I've brought up the 11/06 release from scratch no patches installed at this time. I have 4 externally attached 36gb scsi devices off the hosts systems scsi bus.
After setting up a few different zpool scenarios with mirrors, raidz, raidz2 to familiarize myself with the commands. I created some home directory like filesystems off the pool. I'm trying to simulate a drive failure by either powering down a single drive or physically removing it from it's enclosure so as not to interrupt the scsi bus, however each time I do this and then attempt to access my zfs pool the system hangs and i get flooded with errors : Jan 23 14:49:13 foo scsi: WARNING: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0 (sd24): Jan 23 14:49:13 foo disk not responding to selection eventually the system will freeze and i will have to go down to the eeprom level and issue a boot command to restart the host. Is this type of failure something it should be able to handle or am I doing something wrong and my expectations are too high here? Is this an issue with ZFS or more with the host system not being able to cope with a device being removed in this fashion. Also does anyone have an opinion based off the system I'm using whether this would be sufficient to go into production with assuming the errors i'm having can be addressed? This system would simply be an NFS server for home shares for approx 100 users.
