So aside from the NFS debate, would this 2 tier approach work? I am a bit fuzzy on how I would get the RAIDZ2 redundancy but still present the volume to the VMware host as a raw device. Is that possible or is my understanding wrong? Also could it be defined as a clustered resource?
The easiest and proven method is to use shared disks, two heads, ZFS, and Open HA Cluster to provide highly available NFS or iSCSI targets. This the fundamental architecture for most HA implementations. An implementation, which does not use Open HA Cluster, is available in appliance form as the Sun Storage 7310 or 7410 Cluster System. But if you are building your own, Open HA Cluster may be a better choice than rolling your own cluster software. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
