Hi;

Why don't you buy one X4500 and one X4500 motherboard as spare a long with a
few cold standby drives.

Subject: [zfs-discuss] x4500 x2


If we were to get two x4500s, with the idea of keeping one as a passive 
standby (serious hardware failure) are there any clever solutions in 
doing so?

We can not use ZFS itself, but rather zpool volumes, with UFS on-top. I 
assume there is no zpool send/recv (although, that would be pretty neat 
if there was!). Doing full rsyncs all the time would probably be slow.

Would it be possible to do a snapshot, then 10 minutes later, another 
snapshot and only rsync the differences?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Lund
