Does anyone have any particularly creative ZFS replication strategies they could share?
I have 5 high-performance Cyrus mail-servers, with about a Terabyte of storage each of which only 200-300 gigs is used though even including 14 days of snapshot space. I am thinking about setting up a single 3511 with 4 terabytes of storage at a remote site as a backup device for the content. Struggling with how to organize the idea of wedging 5 servers into the one array though. Simplest way that occurs is one big RAID-5 storage pool with all disks. Then slice out 5 LUNs each as it's own ZFS pool. Then use zfs send & receive to replicate the pools. Ideally I'd love it if ZFS directly supported the idea of rolling snapshots out into slower secondary storage disks on the SAN, but in the meanwhile looks like we have to roll our own solutions.
