Hi,

I am pretty new to Solaris 10 and am slowly getting used to some of its
niceties - zfs being one of them. On my first venture with it, I have
configured a storage pool containing a few slices from a single disk. This
disk is under a hardware raid control, the server in question being a
Sunfire X4200. I have infact mirrored the disk at the bios level. I intend
to use Zfs more for volume management rather than redundancy. I have also
read some of the recommendations for ZFS mainly of having seperate whole
disks to create the pool. If this is for performance reasons, how good/safe
is my configuration of using multiple slices to create my pool? I also have
plans of using LUNS from my Clariion Storage which may be hardware mirrored
or RAID5 LUNs. At the host can I treat them as seperate disks and configure
a pool of multi-terrabyte dimensions and have filesystems > 2TB?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
