If you are going to use a zpool, it is better to create individual disk sized LUNs. Even without being able to enable the individual disk caches ZFS works/performs *much* better when it sees a bunch of disks rather than one big one.
Also if you want to use UFS you will have to keep an EFI label. The LUN size is too big for an SMI label. The big problem right now is that there is no filesystem on disk.
I'm confused, I thought the array was formatting itself and that's why it took 4 hours to initialize?
I tired the other suggestions but didn't get to far.
Cheers DD.
achenle, That would strike me as an odd thing to do ( running FC commands to find details of a SAS array ).
DD - Have a look at the 'dmesg' output and also run another 'devfadm -C', I have on occasion seen seemingly spontaneous HBA controller device number remaps happing with similar hardware.
Hi,
I have a question about Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager (CAM): What is the concept of 'host'? Is it the hostname of the server that has access to the managed array? If so, can I use its IP instead of its hostname?
I've found a 'host' under CAM called XYZ (See below). In our... (7 Replies)
In Sun manuals, I didn't find how to backup Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager's configuration. Is there a way to do it like backing up Brocade switch configuration? CAM is under Solaris 10.
Thank you in advance! (0 Replies)
Hi!
I have Sun StorageTek 2540 FC array and CAM works very slowly - I can wait for software response even more than 2 minutes... I run this software on Windows machine with Firefox Web Browser but speed is terrible... How can I make it works at least a little bit faster?.. (2 Replies)
I have a Sun Sparc T2000 (Solaris 10 05-08) and have installed a PCI-X 4GB Single Port HBA card in it.
I have one StorageTek 2540 array that I would like to connect to the T2000.
For the moment it would be a single path connection, but I've ordered a 2nd HBA, so eventually it would be... (4 Replies)
