Backplane drivers should be irrelevant. The expander should speak a common language. Not sure how to tap into things to confirm. I have tried lsi latest IR and IT firmwares with same results under OI and sol11. On Nov 30, 2011, at 23:25, Gary wrote: > I've found the ZFS discuss list a good so

It's 100% Dell at this point. I haven't called them because I'm guessing they don't speak Solaris and I can't reproduce the behavior on any of the supported OS'. I'll try nonetheless and see what happens. Rather than return the drives/system I was thinking of getting the h700i and just doing j

Use default block size. Larger the better. As for pinpointing issues, try iostat -xnc and look at iowait. Another thing that can help is some dtrace in opt/dtt and look at your write sizes. Run atto disk bench in the vm if it's windows. I would expect-a-guess a single sequential write around 2

Hat to go with h700. Works flawlessly. Had to make single drive raid 0 then create pool. I tried lsi and dell IT firmware to no avail so I assume it's the drives also since hooking any sata drive up did indeed work, just something about the sas drives (not really sas but they are called that).

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Is there anything I can do to tune caching

2012-01-17 Thread Andy Lubel
I'm curious, where is the OS installed? Also did you compile crystaldisk for Solaris or run it over network from a windows box? Perhaps looking into file bench would give you more numbers to look at and depending on what you plan on doing with the nas, help decide if it is tuned correctly.
