Greetings, In looking for inexpensive JBOD and/or RAID solutions to use with ZFS, I've run across the recent "VTrak" SAS/SATA systems from Promise Technologies, specifically their E-class and J-class series:
E310f FC-connected RAID: http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?product_id=175 E310s SAS-connected RAID: http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?product_id=176 J300s SAS-connected JBOD: http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?product_id=163 The prices seem very reasonable as compared to Sun, HP, EMC, etc. You can buy bare drives (SAS or SATA) and plug them into the chassis. If you're using dual RAID controllers with SATA drives, they sell a dual-port adapter that goes in the canister with each disk drive. Has anyone tried these with Solaris yet? The docs claim Solaris-ready, but I'm particularly curious to know if the E310f supports Sun's MPXIO (multipathing) drivers in the dual-controller configuration. How about the SAS-connected chassis'? What SAS HBA's are people using with Solaris-10? I'm mostly hoping to hear if these products are decent, or junk, or somewhere in between. Thanks and regards, Marion _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
