This is basically the setup I suggested a year or so ago. While the theory is sound, the major problem with it is that iSCSI and ZFS are not a great combination when a device (in your case server) goes down. If you create a pool of several iSCSI devices, when any one fails, the entire pool will lock up for 3 minutes while it waits for iSCSI to timeout. Provided you have redundancy it will work fine after this.
And in terms of building a fail over cluster, yes this is also pretty easy to do, and something I tested myself. My notes on this are pretty old now, but drop me an e-mail on googlemail.com if you'd like a copy of them. I got a cluster working and failing over fine for CIFS and NFS clients with next to no prior experience of Solaris. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
