Looking to run a SAN attached Solaris 10 10/08 32-bit on an IBM HS20 with two 32-bit Xeon processors. 4GB of memory.
I've set kernelbase=0x50000000 and seem to be getting fairly decent performance from a 1.5TB ZFS pool, however the system isn't under any sort of load yet (ZFS performed abysmally -- like 20 times slower until I set the kernelbase parameter!). Obviously from what I'm reading, 64-bit is the recommended way to go.. but is 32-bit better than it used to be? Good enough perhaps? What issues might I run into aside from performance? Anecdotal experiences and/or hard facts appreciated. :-) Worst case I guess I could go out and order some 64-bit processors for these blades. Thanks, Ray _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
