Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Switching syslog with rsyslog

2013-07-20 Thread Carlos Cardenas
Ok…  

I have rsyslog 7.4.3 building/running with Guardtime enabled.  As a result of 
jumping from 7.3.9 to 7.4.3, I had to add several new pkgs (deps):
* libguardtime (Guardtime C SDK)
* guardtime (Guardtime Client utility)
* python26-docutils (build dep, generate man pages)

I've also added rsyslog diag and user tools to allow for the additional 
functionality of using Guardtime within rsyslog.

The one caveat I have with the latest rsyslog with GT support is that there is 
bug with the 64bit version of libguardtime linking with curl so rsyslog is 
32bit.  I'm opening a bug report with GT on this and hope to have this resolved 
soon.

That said, is 32bit fine or do y'all want to wait until we have 64bit as well?

How do y'all want the PRs done:  all in one or one PR per pkg?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] areca or lsi

2013-07-20 Thread Günther Alka

I have build a lot of OmniOS boxes and was involved in a lot of
hardware decisions. All of them are using LSI HBAs in raidless IT mode.

If there was ever a consensus in the Solarish world regarding disk 
controller than this:

- prefer pure HBAs, avoid hardware raid cards, use those with IT firmware
- avoid controller cache, ZFS needs full disk control especially with 
sync write -

  your regular RAM, used by ZFS is anyway larger and faster
- prefer LSI (nearly all Solarish ZFS boxes are using LSI) where you can 
expect the best driver quality


My own favourite on OmniOS is the LSI 9207 with PCI-E 3.0 and the new 
2308 chipset
They come out of the box with the desired IT firmware, no need to 
reflash like with other LSI controllers.


I would add:
If you need expanders, use LSI ones paired with LSI HBAs, use SAS disks 
with expanders
or if you intend to use Sata disks, prefer as much HBAs as needed 
without expander.

Folks,

We are specing a new omnios server box ... and were just told by
our vendor, that LSI HBAs were much slower (50%) than Areca Controllers
running in JBOD mode ... and that they would therefore recommend
Areca (we use areca for raid6 in linux boxes, but have never used it in JBOD
mode with illumos, yet).

Which controller would you choose for a new system ?

cheers
