Operating Systems Solaris aggr not persistent after a reboot Post 302586703 by Captainquark on Tuesday 3rd of January 2012 04:50:28 AM

I assume it is a wee bit overkill, as you said... However, I didn't want to take a risk and since my hardware supports aggregating NIC's, I wanted to do it from the beginning instead of running short one day and having to add it later... I guessed this would be the bigger effort.

I have a separate VMWare ESXi Server with currently 5 guests on local disks. I want to run the VM's on this NAS, and also need around 2 TB of CIFS space for my movies. Today, if I am using the VM's heavily, the performance on the CIFS shares sometimes drops significantly, as they are now stored in the vmdk's. Also, I don't know how much impact has deduplication, compression, snapshotting etc.

For comparison, I use the following hardware:
- Supermicro X8SIE-F mainboard
- 12 GB ECC RAM
- Xeon L3426 CPU
- LSI 9211-8i Controller flashed with the IT firmware
This card has a PCI-Express x8 Interface.
- 2 x 320 GB HDD's in a ZFS mirror for OS
- 7 x 1 TB Samsung F3's for data, one being spare

The PCI Express 2.0 x8 Interface has a theoretical throughput of 16Gbit/s or 2 GB/s, according to Wikipedia, so I don't expect a bottleneck here. Of course, the performance of the card being able (or not) to use this bandwidth is a totally different story. After all, with 6 active disks, there should be plenty of performance for my needs, assuming the card can hold up on this workloads. I'll see it going on with my NAS configuration, and will let you know about my experiences here.
Regards,
Cap'
