One thing you should keep in mind - Solaris *has* to boot in a 64bit mode if you wan to use all that memory as a cache for zfs, so old x86 32bit CPU are not welcome Any rules of thumb? ie 512Mb or 1024Mb per TB? |
Really there's none - it's so heavily dependent on data and workload that someimes 512MB per TB would be even an overkill,
sometimes the difference between 4GB and 16GB is hard to notice, etc.
Generally if you can afford buy more memory. Or if you can check different setups then
try them. Perhaps buy 2-4GB in such dimms so there're still free ones so you can easily add another dimms.
