How do I do this, exactly? I am serious. Before too long, I'm going to need another server, and I would very seriously consider reprovisioning my unstable Dell Solaris server to become a linux or some other stable machine. The role it's currently fulfilling is the "backup" server, which basically does nothing except "zfs receive" from the primary Sun solaris 10u9 file server. Since the role is just for backups, it's a perfect opportunity for experimentation, hence the Dell hardware with solaris. I'd be happy to put some other configuration in there experimentally instead ... say ... nexenta. Assuming it will be just as good at "zfs receive" from the primary server. Is there some specific hardware configuration you guys sell? Or recommend? How about a Dell R510/R610/R710? Buy the hardware separately and buy NexentaStor as just a software product? Or buy a somehow more certified hardware & software bundle together? If I do encounter a bug, where the only known fact is that the system keeps crashing intermittently on an approximately weekly basis, and there is absolutely no clue what's wrong in hardware or software... How do you guys handle it? If you'd like to follow up offlist, that's fine. Then just email me at the email address: nexenta at nedharvey.com (I use disposable email addresses on mailing lists like this, so at any random unknown time, I'll destroy my present alias and start using a new one.) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
