[storage-discuss] ZFS online replication

Hi all,

Is it possible to use zfs online replication between two opensolaris 2009.06 hosts
without using snapshots??

I see the following example: http://www.brentrjones.com/?p=45, and I would like to
do the same but without using snapshots.

Many thanks.

Per the article referenced in the OP, does Avs still trigger a large sync in the event of a resilver?

Does anyone know here the tutorial videos went? Are there any copies (none I could find on youtube or the like).
I'm building two ZFS/iSCSI boxes that I'm trying to accomplish failover between. I've seen the video, it was helpful.

Cheers,
Matt.

Hi,

The online zfs send/receive command requires a snapshot.
So alternately there is AVS or you could create an iSCSI zpool mirror or an FCoE Point to Point zpool mirror with COMSTAR.

This file has a example frame stop demo of a FC zpool mirror.

Thanks Mike. Then, if I install three osol hosts like this:

-HostA: first storage server with zfs1
-HostB: second storage server with zfs2
-HostC: iscsi client to HostA and HostB. Then, I can create a zpool with mirror
option with zfs1 and zfs2, and afterwards servers this zpool as an iscsi target.


can this scenario works?? any problems to accomplish?

Hi,

This is a working configuration with FC I have also run it with hardware iSCSI adapters and that works without issues. Not sure how it behaves with software initiators. You could build it in a VM environment to see how it behaves with software based initiators.

Regards,

Mike
