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.
I read the lack of a buy-it-now button as an opportunity to
negotiate :-)
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?
DR is a process, not a set of products. You are describing a set of
products.
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.
Since you are stuck on Solaris 10, you'll be running the old iSCSI
target,
with its known limitations and effective EOF.
