Hi,
We have a Sun/Oracle Fishworks appliance that we have spent a good
amount of $ on. This is a great box and we love it, although the EDU
discounts that Sun used to provide for hardware and support contracts
seem to have dried up so the cost of supporting it moving forward is
still unknown.
My question is how compatible are the ZPOOL versions between the
open-source ZFS implementations and the latest on-disk format from
Fishworks' ZFS...
Heres what I see, having applied the very latest "firmware"
(2010.Q3.2.1) to the box, and applying the deferred updates (zpool upgrades)
pike# zpool get version internal
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
internal version 28 default
pike# zpool get version external-J4400-12x1TB
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
external-J4400-12x1TB version 28 default
pike#
Can I expect to move my JBOD over to a different OS such as FreeBSD,
Illuminos, or Solaris and be able to get my data off still? (by this i
mean perform a zpool import on another platform)
The compatibility of ZFS was a major selling point for us getting in to
this appliance originally ... we were swayed by the "open storage"
marketing and whatnot... I guess Im asking if it looks like the
situation has changed. Apologies for the "fuzzy" question
Matt
