I thought it was stmsboot and mpathadm on omni? If you are just looking
for multipathing to disk? Haven't tried on omni.

Hi
as few guys before, I'm thinking again about High Availability
storage with ZFS. I know, that there is great commercial RSF-1,
but that's quite expensive for my needs.
I know, that Sašo did a great job about that on his blog
http://zfs-create.blogspot.cz but I never found the way, how to
successfully configure that on current OmniOS versions.
So I'm thinking about something more simple. Arrange two LUNs from
two OmniOS ZFS storages in one software mirror through
fibrechannel. Arrange that mirror in client, for example mdadm in
Linux. I know, that it will have performance affect and I will
lost some ZFS advantages, but I still can use snapshots, backups
with send/receive and some other interesting ZFS things, so it
could be usable for some projects.
Is there anyone, who tried that before? Any eperience with that?
While this sounds technically possible, it is not HA. Your client is
the single point of failure. I would wager that mdadm would create
more availability issues than it would be solving.
I run RSF-1 and HA is still hard to achieve. I don't think I have
gained any additional up-time overcoming failures, but it definitely
helps with planned maintenance. Unfortunately, there are still too
many ways a zfs pool can fail that having a second server connected
does not help.
