Hi Wee Yeh,

Thanks for the earlier tips on July17th.  I have a couple questions...

I followed your suggestion and first created two raid0 volumes.

   volume         capacity     raid  data      standby
   v0             134.890 GB   0     u1d1-4    none
   v1             168.613 GB   0     u1d5-9    none


I wasn't sure whether I should:
1) create zones in the ufs / file system and then create zfs file systems in the zones,
or...
2) create the zfs file system and its heirarchy and then put zones in the zfs systems.

I did #2.


And then created the zfs mirrors:
>#zpool create T3arraymirror mirror c1t1d0 c1t1d1

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: zpool list
NAME                    SIZE    USED   AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH     ALTROOT
T3arraymirror           134G     80K    134G     0%  ONLINE     -

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: zfs create zpool1/zone1
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: zfs create T3arraymirror/zones
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: zfs create T3arraymirror/zones/zone2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:  zfs create T3arraymirror/zones/zone3
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:  zfs create T3arraymirror/zones/zone4
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:  zfs create T3arraymirror/zones/zone5

And then created a zone with zonemgr.

Will my zone I created inherit a zfs file system since it was created in one?

Does it make sense?  It's my first try at this....

Thanks,
Russ

Performance-wise, these are pretty wimpy. You should be able to saturate
the array controller, even without enabling RAID-5 on it.  Note that the
T3's implementation of RAID-0 isn't quite the same as other arrays, so it
may perform somewhat differently (better) than you expect from JBODs.


This is similiar something I intend to do when we finally move off our
T3's -- we have 9 T3, 2 T3B.

I'd create 2 LUNs, 5 Disk RAID0 + 4 Disk RAID0 on each of the T3 and
stagger mirror the LUNs with ZFS.  The final pool will be used to
house user filesystems for a compute cluster.  I haven't gotten any
benchmarks on this config yet -- still waiting for my T3's to come
along...

Can you please share the difference with the T3 implementation of RAID0?
