[zfs-discuss] zfs/zpools iscsi

2007-10-12 Thread Krzys
Hello all, sorry if somebody already asked this or not. I was playing today 
with 
iSCSI and I was able to create zpool and then via iSCSI I can see it on two 
other hosts. I was courious if I could use zfs to have it shared on those two 
hosts but aparently I was unable to do it for obvious reasons. On my linuc 
oracle rac I was using ocfs which works just as I need it, does anyone know if 
such could be acheived with zfs maybe? maybe if not now but in the future? is 
there anything that I could do at this moment to be able to have my two other 
solaris clients see my zpool that I am presenting via iscsi to them both? Is 
there any solutions out there of this kind?

Thanks so much for your help.

Regards,

Chris

Why not use NFS?

no, that`s not possible for now.

but aparently I was unable to do it for obvious reasons. 
you will corrupt your data!

On my linuc oracle rac I was using ocfs which works just as I need it

yes, because ocfs is build for that.
it`s a cluster filesystem - that`s what you need for this.
another name is shared disk filesystem
see wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_systems

maybe if not now but in the future?
it has been discussed, iirc.

is there anything that I could do at this moment to be able to have my two 
other
solaris clients see my zpool that I am presenting via iscsi to them both? 
zpool? i assume you mean zvol, correct ?

Is there any solutions out there of this kind?
i`m not that deep into solaris, but iirc there isn`t one for free.
veritas is quite popular, but you need spend lots of bucks for this.
maybe SAM-QFS ?

regards
roland

We have lots of customers using shared QFS with RAC.
QFS is on the road to open source, too bad RAC isn't :-P
