LLT over vlanned trunks on Solaris
It seems that some customers want to create a trunk out of two links and then create vlans over that trunk and then run LLTover those two vlans. This is how to do this on Solaris: Create a trunk (aggregation first) out of the two bge links: dladm create-aggr -d bge2 -d bge3 1 <--- to create a aggr1 Create vlans out of aggr1:LLT on Solaris - common ce driver tunable
If you have LLTworking over the ce driver on Solaris, one small change that you can make to help performance problems in your cluster would be the following: The /etc/system file on all hosts should have: set ce:ce_no_tx_lb=1 set ce:ce_taskq_disable=1 set ce:ce_reclaim_pending=1 A reboot is required.
Customer Spotlight: Storage Foundation Reduced Data Migration Time From 3 Weeks To 30 Minutes
A group of DBAs that manage large databases at a large federal government agency had the challenge of migrating a mission-critical 35 TB database from a Fujitsu 2500 running Solaris to an IBM P595 running AIX within a 4 hour maintenance window. Using the tools that the database vendor offered, the estimated time to move that much data was in the neighborhood of 3 weeks, which was unacceptable.
Device Discovery in DMP
The first basic function for a multi path (MP) driver is to identify the set of block devices that can be supported. The device discovery is generally triggered when the MP driver is loaded into the operating system (OS) as part of boot process. During early boot, not all devices connected to the system may be available.
