Pasi, I have not tried the Opensolaris FMA yet.
But we have developed a tool called DSM that allow users to locate disk drive location, failed drive identification, FRU parts status. http://dataonstorage.com/dataon-products/dsm-30-for-nexentastor.html We also spending time in past to sure SES chip work with major RAID controller card.

I guess that requires the SES chip on the JBOD to include proper drive identification for all slots. -- Pasi > > Rocky > > -----Original Message----- > From: zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org > [mailto:zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Philip Brown > Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 10:05 AM > To: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org > Subject: [zfs-discuss] reliable, enterprise worthy JBODs? > > 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..
