Operating Systems Solaris Exporting physical disk to ldom or ZFS volume Post 303016066 by psychocandy on Thursday 19th of April 2018 05:16:26 AM

Exporting physical disk to ldom or ZFS volume

Generally, this is what we do:-
  1. On primary, export 2 LUNs (add-vdsdev).
  2. On primary, assign these disks to the ldom in question (add-vdisk).
  3. On ldom, created mirrored zpool from these two disks.

On one server (which is older) we have:-
  1. On primary, create mirrored zpool from the two LUNs.
  2. On primary, assign this zfs disk to the ldom in question (add-vdisk).
  3. On ldom, create single disk zpool from this.

On this one server we're getting performance issues. I've heard that doing it this way (i.e. mirrored zfs on primary and exporting this) is not the best way to do it and will create an overhead?

Is this true? Or doesn't it make any difference?
