Some times ago I bought a STEC ZeusIOPS SSD with 18GB capacity. This disks comes out from a Sun ZFS Storage 7420 system. But it’s 3.5″ large and without a server which supports 3.5″ large SAS disk drives I couldn’t test the SSD. Today I was able to test the drive on a Fujitsu Primergy […]
Wooow… lot’s of changes ! Today I downloaded the brand new Oracle Solaris 11 operating system and started to install it into a VirtualBox virtual machine. Automatic network configuration is a very nice feature, but I’m a „Old-School“ guy and I prefer the manual configuration. 😉 So I tried to setup a valid network configuration […]
Here I am back again. 😉 The last weeks I had lot’s of work, so there was only little time for my blog and private activities. But this was a big chance to turn off lot’s systems in my home lab and run only the necessary servers for my home network. I watched 2 months […]

A little reminder for me. 😉 Since Oracle Solaris 11 Express you can set the zil_disable tunable with the zfs set sync option. Disable ZIL: # zfs set sync=disabled demopool/test Enable ZIL: # zfs set sync=always demopool/test
Today my hard disk hot-swap trays arrived. 🙂 Yippiieee… time to complete my storage server. The new hot-swap trays had no labels, so I created them myself. It looks pretty nice! Next step is getting some more disks and a suitable rackmount-kit. My private datacenter grows and grows. 🙂
So, hat sich ein bisschen was getan in der letzten Zeit. 😉 Black is beautyfull. 😀 Mein DL320s wurde nun endlich durch einen HP DL185 G5 Server ersetzt. Neben dem das dieser Server Solaris und OpenSolaris supported, ist er auch schwarz. 😉 So wie alle neuen Systeme von HP. Macht sich meiner Meinung sehr gut […]
Meine Begeisterung für IT Infrastruktur hat vor langer Zeit mit Geräten von Sun Microsystems begonnen. Nachdem ich lange mit einer Blade 1000 experimentiert habe, gesellten sich schnell eine Sun Fire V240, V210 und eine E3800 dazu. Doch dann kam HP. Von diesem Zeitpunkt an konzentrierte ich mich zunehmend auf HP Storage und Blade Systeme. Nichts […]
