[Veritas-bu] (Off Topic) Sun / Oracle ZFS via NDMP Backups
2010-12-01 16:29:01
Is anyone else on the list testing Sun / Oracle’s Unified
Storage Systems’ ZFS over NDMP backup methodology? I’ve been
struggling to backup millions of tiny files with NFS mounts off a Sun 7210
device, but after recently upgrading the firmware we’ve been testing ZFS
over NDMP with great success. In the past a single stream would be lucky to run
4MB/sec so we’ve run aggregated streams. With ZFS, we’re pulling
45MB/sec single stream, and can easily max gigabit with 3 streams. Frankly, it’s
hard to believe it’s the same device. Given the significant change we
want to migrate to this methodology quickly, but we’re a little hesitant
since the new methodology requires a firmware upgrade that can’t be
backed out if we run into any issues.
Thanks,
-Jonathan
