Hi all,

while setting of our X4140 I have - following suggestions - added two SSDs as log devices as follows

        zpool add tank log c1t6d0 c1t7d0

I currently have

  pool: rpool
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME          STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        rpool         ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror      ONLINE       0     0     0
            c1t0d0s0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c1t1d0s0  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        tank        ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
            c1t2d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c1t3d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
            c1t4d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c1t5d0  ONLINE       0     0     0
        logs
          c1t6d0    ONLINE       0     0     0
          c1t7d0    ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

We have performance problems especially with FrontBase (relational database) running on this ZFS configuration and need to look for optimizations.

• I would like to remove the two SSDs as log devices from the pool and instead add them as a separate pool for sole use by the database to see how this enhences performance. I could certainly do

        zpool detach tank c1t7d0

to remove one disk from the log mirror. But how can I get back the second SSD?

Any experiinces with running database on ZFS pools? What can I do to tune the performance? Smaller block size may be?

Thanks a lot,

 Andreas
