Hi Everyone,
I want to start out by saying ZFS has been a life saver to me, and the
scientific collaboration I work for. I can't imagine working with the TB's of
data that we do, without the snapshots or the ease of moving the data from one
pool to another.
Right now I'm trying to setup a whiteboxe with OpenSolaris. It has an Areca
1160 RAID controller(lastest firmware), SuperMicro H8SSL-I mobo, and a
SuperMicro IPMI card. I haven't been working with Solaris for all that long,
and wanted to create a zpool similar to our x4500's. From the documentation it
says to use the format command to locate the disks.
OpenSolaris lives on a 2 disk Mirrored raid, and I was hoping I could have the
disks pass through, so that zfs could manage the zpool. What am I doing wrong
here, that I can't see all the disks? Or do I have to use a RAID 5 underneath
the zpool?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Gregory
