PERC H310 zfs freebsd

[TheSec]

Beste Tweakers,

Bij ons op kantoor zijn we aan het overwegen een nieuwe backup server te bestellen een Dell R720XD. Nou kan dell die alleen minimaal met een PERC H310 leveren. Heeft iemand hier toevallig al ervaring met ZFS en de PERC H310 of een opstelling met draaien ?

We zouden dan FreeBSD gaan gebruiken als distro, niet Oracle. Of heeft Oracle voordelen in combo met een R720XD ?

Groetjes,
TheSec

Ik zou beginnen met zoeken in Het grote ZFS topic . Daar is al een hoop kennis over FreeBSD en ZFS voorbijgekomen.

Ik zou me eerder ook afvragen of FreeBSD die controller wel out of the box ondersteunt:

I tried installing FreeBSD 9. It picked up the 9205-8e's fine, and I
can see da0 through da47. Everything there looks okay.
The Dell H310 was not recognized.
Now, doing some research, the Dell H310 seems to be equivalent to LSI
9240...
Apparently, work was done in freebsd-current to add support for this
controller to MFI. Apparently, this is the LSI MegaRAID SAS driver.
(I'm learning!)
So .. I figured out how to download freebsd-current, and to compile it.
I was hoping that if I could make this work, I might be able to figure
out how to extract just mfi from freebsd-current and bring it back to
9.0 so that I could use a stable system with just the support for the
H310. (I then have to figure out how to bring that kernel back to the
installer).

After I compiled freebsd-current, and installed the new kernel, the
system now recognized the H310, but a few issues:

My root drive which happened to be the disk in slot 20 on my MD1220
array, was oddly enough da22p2 when I first installed FreeBSD 8.X. When
I upgraded to FreeBSD 9.0, it became da20p2. That made sense. I
figured it was just a bug that was fixed. However, now, after
installing the new freebsd-current, the root is back to da22p2 again! I
don't know if that's a bug or a feature! I don't think this is because
the addition of the 2 disks on the H310 since they are mfisyspd0 and
mfisyspd1 so they shouldn't interfere with the daXX mapping.

The disks on the LSI 9205-8e controllers are da0 through da47 which
seems to make sense.

As I was saying, H310 card is recognized, and so are the disks, but
there are errors in dmesg, and lots and lots of output (attached
below).

Oh en de NICs moeten natuurlijk ook te gebruiken zijn; Dit is een post van iemand die de NICs vervangen heeft door Intel-hardware en een eigen .iso gecreëerd heeft: http://lists.freebsd.org/...12-July/thread.html#68958
