There is something about blocksize and filesystem that may help you out more than anything else.

i think open-e uses XFS

theoretically yes it should be better. I think that its faster because its talking native disk language end to end. im not positive however but i will be testing that fairly soon:

dual port 4gb...

a good rule is:

if you have NVRAM with BBC use write-back, thats why you have a battery :)
if you dont, then its safer to use Write-Through (disable controller caching).

HTH,

yeah, DSSpower is just wrong. you cant take a demo CD and move it onto a USB stick.

Syslinux vs Isolinux

what you could do is get a USB cdrom and probably boot from that or just try the...

if we had that someone could develop templates for cacti!

NDMP will help anyone who has brand name backup software.

If some of the guys here can get it on thier devices/OS's, I REALLY LOOK FORWARD to see it on open-e products!

(we use DP 5.0 atm and...

You really want to be able to see a iscsi target, import it somehow into lvm's database then mount it read-only on your backupserver I gather?

Does your backup server have the same OS or does it...

Yep, windows for the win. I think/hope there are other ways that open-e is investigating resharing snapshot luns. For example, you could have a snap shot be mounted by the OS read only and then...

I think hes asking about what netapps calls 'qtree'.

ill see if i can eval some chelsio or neterion cx4's and get my hands on a switch.. heck may just go back to back!

yep you are right! i wonder why they dont offer that.. ill check with my rep too see if they have something compelling to say

also looks like the same card minus the sun logo.. thanks!

very helpful!!!

ill have to play with some of this stuff :)

are the only 10gbe switches out in blade form? got any examples of a good switch? should we use the fiber or cx4?

im working on getting some oracle database servers running solaris x86 using...

But if you went out and bought 10gbe you wouldnt have to, problem solved!

I'm currently in a similar boat.. need more than 129mb/s on a single path to a host! multipathing is great if you are...

First off: Let the volume build and keep activity low for initial building without rebooting to cut down on build time or use fast initialization! I think you got bumped with the same bug I did when...

we use 9650 controllers and have no problems.

if i could go back however i would have bought Arcea.

22 disk raid6 with 1tb drives? whoah.

think about rebuild times?

you probably want to divide this up into at least 2-3 arrays rather than 1 giant raid 6.

hehe, i was there about 3 months ago.


here are some ramblings...

I think they are looking into giving a service manager, where you can disable certain services.

Vulns in PHP are only...

what would be even cooler would be to NDMP enable open-e products, is that on the radar anywhere?

it would universalize the backups for sure.. any backup software thats worth anything can talk...

did you at least establish a 1 way trust from the domain that the DSS is "joined" to one of your customer domains?

maybe even make your root domain as example:
isp.lan - join your open-e to...

should be ok given you can accept that they may end up fighting for "king of the spindle".

I have a 4 disk raid 10 (SATA) with a 9650sx and I peak out at 112mb/s between the 2 virtual machines...

if it works in virtual iron, it will work the same in virtual server. microsoft invented the VHD and virtual iron re-uses thier innovations.
...

ok we have been pen-testing this since last night (mini hackathon lol) and what i have initially found is that there is no way to access these services - which is what i expected.

what i really...

i got the same thing as tom - iscsi 2.05 as well.


created 500gb volume, mapped, formatted and put some files.
created 250gb snapvol, associated it with the 500gb vol.
delete the 250gb snapvol...
