    raid-z performance better than zfs mirror?

    Excuse my ignorance, but does a 3-way mirror give better performance than a 2-way mirror...or it is just more secure?

    raid-z performance better than zfs mirror?

    Thanks, again, Gea! This will be used for storing VMs along with static archival data. So I guess my best option is to get a 6th drive and create 3 2-drive mirrors? Or is there a better way to set up the mirrors for maximum performance?

    raid-z performance better than zfs mirror?

    Give me 1 hour and I'll recreate it with 3 total drives and post the results. FWIW, with 5 total drives, the raid-z results are even better: 423.14 MB/s Write 455.11 MB/s Read

    raid-z performance better than zfs mirror?

    Again, I am not very familiar with all of this, but here are CDM results from my Win7 box to the SMB folder. Raid-Z Mirror

    raid-z performance better than zfs mirror?

    First off, I apologize if this has been discussed before, my search yielded nothing. Secondly, a lot of this is new to me so it is possible that I'm missing something rather glaring. I am running SE11 with napp-it. When I run the dd bench via napp-it against my raid-z pool I see better...

    ESXi passthrough with incompatible device?

    Yeah, that was my understanding and my hope. Unfortunately, the Sil3132 controller, which is on the Solaris HCL, did not like the pass-through at all. I also tried Windows OSs and got the same result. My on-board LSI1068 works perfect so I'll just get another one and pass-through it...

    ESXi passthrough with incompatible device?

    I want the datastore to be controlled by my Solaris guest machine instead of ESXi controlling it. Giving Solaris physical versus virtual drives gives me better performance. The question is which physical access (RDM or passthrough) will give me better performance. My goal is to set up a ZFS...

    ESXi passthrough with incompatible device?

    Yeah, I found that out yesterday after a lot of testing. I was able to get ESXi to see the cards and connected drives after modifying the oem.tgz. Unfortunatelty, no matter the OS, the guest was not able to recognize the controller card once passed through. Didn't work even if the card was on...

    ESXi passthrough with incompatible device?

    I want to add another sata hba card to my all-in-one ESXi box. The card I have is not on the HCL, nor have I found whitebox drivers, but I don't know if this is a problem as I plan on passing through the pci card to my SE11 VM. The device is on the solaris hcl fwiw. Can you passthrough an...
