So, another hardware question :) ZFS has been touted as taking maximal advantage of disk hardware, to the point where it can be used efficiently and cost-effectively on JBODs, rather than having to throw more expensive RAID arrays at it.
Only trouble is.. JBODs seem to have disappeared :( Sun/Oracle has discontinued its j4000 line, with no replacement that I can see. IBM seems to have some nice looking hardware in the form of its EXP3500 "expansion trays"... but they only support it connected to an IBM (SAS) controller... which is only supported when plugged into IBM server hardware :( Any other suggestions for (large-)enterprise-grade, supported JBOD hardware for ZFS these days? Either fibre or SAS would be okay. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
