Hi all Is there anything usable for zfs/openindiana that allows for multi-tiered storage?
The scenario is as thus: We have a 50TB storage unit which was built to be an archive, but lately, scientists have been using this for a fileserver for modelling. Pracitaclly, this means 50+ processes doing more or less random i/o to the server, which a 4-VDEV RAIDz2 system isn't very well suited to handle. Since we don't have sufficient storage to move the data they are modelling, we consider getting a bunch of SSDs for L2ARC/SLOG, which may solve the problem. But then, a better solution might be a two-tier storage solution, with fast drives on a server in front and slowish drives in the back. Such systems exists, but most of them are commercially built, meaning the price per terabyte will be about 5-10x the price of using ZFS on an open system. Anyone here that know such a system?
