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

Reason: Converted textual numberd lists to formatted numbered lists with LIST=1 tags
It's not inherently bad, just slower.
And adding additional layer will cause you more prone to bugs.
Which exist for zvol performance.
It has its uses, but probably not for scenario you are in.
Keep it simple and closest to hardware you can get.
Question is, what is that ldom being used for and what release are you running ?
I have a guest LDOM running Solaris 10U11 on a Sun T4-1 host running Solaris 11.4. The host has a disk named bkpool that I'd like to share with the LDOM so both can read and write it. The host is hemlock, the guest is sol10.

When installing Linux, I choose some default setting to use all the disk space.
My server has a single internal 250Gb SCSI disk. By default the install appears to have created 3 logical volumes
lv_root, lv_home and lv_swap.
fdisk -l shows the following
lab3.nms:/dev>fdisk -l

I'd like to finish setting up this system and then move the secondary or primary disk to another system that is the exact same hardware.
I've done things like this in the past with ufs and disk suite mirroring just fine. But I have yet to do it with a zfs root pool mirror.
Are there any... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I am new to unix. I am working on Red Hat Linux and side by side on AIX also. After reading the concepts of Storage, I am now really confused regarding the terminologies
1)Physical Volume
2)Volume Group
3)Logical Volume
4)Physical Partition
Please help me to understand these concepts. (6 Replies)

Hi!
Can anyone help me on how I can do a basic check on the Unix filesystems / physical volumes and logical volumes?
What items should I check, like where do I look at in smit? Or are there commands that I should execute?
I need to do this as I was informed by IBM that there seems to be... (1 Reply)
I was in smit, checking on disc space, etc. and it appears that one of our physical volumes that is part of a large volume group, has no free physical partitions. The server is running AIX 5.1. What would be the advisable step to take in this instance? (9 Replies)
Hello,
I need explanations about physical disks and physical volumes. What is the difference between these 2 things?
In fact, i am trying to understand what the AIX lspv2command does.
Thank you in advance. (2 Replies)
