AVS can also be used. This one option on many of the ZFS appliances.
I would like to but doesn't that require OpenSolaris? I'm scared to
license the StorageTek version since the Sun web page doesn't include
any pricing info.
If no one is throwing red flags yet, then to extend the idea further
maybe I would move the redundant server offsite (I will have metro
ethernet connectivity) and do iSCSI over the WAN and get DR for free.
This is not DR. It is a metro cluster. DR solutions include protection
against temporal failures.
Isn't that what backups are for? I agree using metro ethernet is not
sufficient for a complete DR solution, but it does meet the offsite
requirement. Or are you referring to something else?
Thanks for the feedback Richard. My main concern was that zfs and iscsi
didn't seem to work all that well back in '07 when I first looked at it.
It doesn't sound like you or anyone is concerned about that today.
