Well, I understand about ZFS and in many cases, I have heard, right or wrong, and from my experience, that ZFS is "not ready for prime time" in every area.

I had a major project on a smalltalk app/db server where ZFS was used and a lot of tuning had to be done. The former "Storage Guy" had set up that machine using ZFS defaults and the memory allocation was screwy as well as performance that was 50% or less than that of UFS on both Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 machines with UFS.

I had to do a few weeks of research and modify the ARC buffer sizes as well as set the read block size to 8K instead of the default 128K (this works for Oracle and other 8K read dbs as well)

However, on many sites, I have seen Solaris 7, 8 and 9 as well as 10. While I will be working primarily on Solaris 10 x64 in a VMware virtual machine, I would appreciate the opportunity to learn VxFS and VxVM as well as VCS if possible, at some point.

If you have any sites besides the manufacturers, I would appreciate. Even if you have links to the ones for Veritas/Symantec, as I was unable to find anything more than a few PDFs that describe overviews instead of instruction.


Thanks in advance,
Mark

NAME
isalist - display the native instruction sets executable on this platform SYNOPSIS
isalist DESCRIPTION
isalist prints the names of the native instruction sets executable on this platform on the standard output, as returned by the SI_ISALIST command of sysinfo(2). The names are space-separated and are ordered in the sense of best performance. That is, earlier-named instruction sets might contain more instructions than later-named instruction sets; a program that is compiled for an earlier-named instruction sets will most likely run faster on this machine than the same program compiled for a later-named instruction set. Programs compiled for instruction sets that do not appear in the list will most likely experience performance degradation or not run at all on this machine. The instruction set names known to the system are listed in isalist(5). These names might or might not match predefined names or compiler options in the C language compilation system, This command is obsolete and may be removed in a future version of Solaris. See isainfo(1) for a better way to handle instruction set extensions. ATTRIBUTES
