[OmniOS-discuss] [!! SPAM] Re: HA for ZFS on OmniOS

[Alexandre NEY]

I guess we are between the DIY and full hassle free solution ;) We are a Linux / FreeBSD shop so some concepts are familiar and some others..well.. it's different.

The truth is we tried Nexenta but their licensing costs just skyrocket when you go up in the TBs forcing you to go all platinum / diamond and being a service provider that didn't quite fit our business model.

In any case, I'll give a shot at the open source solution in our lab.

Sure, if you can afford it, go for it, although I'm unsure why you're going with a DIY storage solution if you don't want to get your hands dirty in Solaris/Illumos stuff. If you just want a minimum-hassle working ZFS-based iSCSI storage solution with a pretty GUI, go for something like Nexenta. They already integrate RSF-1 into their clustered solution and you'll get support for the whole bundle. Going with OmniOS makes sense if you're trying to do something out of the ordinary or on a budget or you just like tinkering with stuff.
